United States And The Legalization Of Gay Marriage

Marriage is unjustly considered and defined by the United States Government  as a sacred institution between a man and a woman. The Government falsely believes this institution as the epitome of all human relationships by discriminatingly prohibiting same-sex marriages through the Defense of Marriage Act (the “DOMA”), enacted by the 104th United States Congress, signed by President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996 codified as 1 U.S.C. § 7 and 28 U.S.C. § 1728C.  The DOMA further deprives same sex couples from many other benefits offered to couples (males and females) of recognized marriages.  Some like to argue that to recognize same sex marriage may open the door to other relationships they perplexedly consider as innocent, however, upon review of the relationships discussed in such arguments, it is quickly evident to any lay reader of even primary education that said purportedly innocent and socially acceptable relationships that may arise as a result of the approval of same-sex marriages are clearly neither  “innocent” as they deal with adults that take advantage of minors (1) who are incapable of a legal consent to a relationship (2) a clear violation of and punishable by the law.  In addition, compounding insult to injury is that the opposite-sex adult/minor “relationships” where no consent is given and is used as one of the reasons that same-sex marriages should not be recognized as it contended to inevitably act as a precursor, that said relationships are compared and in actuality incomparable due to the principal fact that same-sex marriages, should it be legalized, would be between two able-minded adults who each individually consent to a relationship with the other.

Incredibly, the people who purportedly support the DOMA (who other articles classify as practically everyone) consider same sex relationships an anomaly or oddity, and yet in opposite-sex adult/minor “relationships” although a clear violation of prohibited acts punishable by enacted and codified law (not to mention socially condemnable), it is considered by said supporters in those articles that the adult/minor relationship are socially acceptable since “no one” has a problem with them.   As if through simple intellect one would not be able to deduct that an adult/minor “relationship” is not socially acceptable and that
