Five Key Reasons for Marriage Equality

This source first makes the point that by being barred from marriage, same-sex couples are denied many rights that straight couples enjoy. It then says that when same-sex couples can not marry, they often must leave their homes and families and also causes business problems.The reason that many people are against same-sex marriages is religious beliefs, but this source says that this marriage does not interfere with that as they are still allowed to practice their religious freedom and can marry people consistent with the principles of their faith. Lastly, the case is made that in Massachusetts and 28 different nations, same-sex marriage is legal and "the sky hasn't fallen." It is also against the "freedom and equality" that our country has stood for since its creation.
