 “falling in love is a universal experience no matter what gender you’re attracted to, and it doesn’t make the love any less real if you and your lover are of the same or opposite sexes” (Stormy). Many people have partners of the same gender and no one should be afraid to show that. One should not feel closed in because of who they really are and what they really like. Love knows no gender, meaning it is not mandatory for a female and a male to be together. Same sex marriages need to be allowed in all states because love is non discriminatory, it is a free country, and other states have allowed same sex marriages.   Same sex marriages are non discriminatory. We as Americans do not discriminate against skin color, orientation, or gender. There should be no reason to discriminate against gays neither. We can date black and white or Hispanic and Asian; it is not a problem. It’s just like saying one likes chicken and macaroni instead of roast beef and potatoes. One cannot discriminate against another’s likings. “ A significant body of evidence suggests that sexual orientation nondiscrimination laws like the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) can function as important incremental steps toward same-sex marriage” (Messner).    The United States is a free country. We as Americans also have the right to do what we please by the twenty seven amendments. We have freedom of speech, religion, to choose our friends and many more. Supreme Court ruled in //Skinner v. Oklahoma// that marriage is "one of the basic civil rights” (Gale). If one can choose what is better for them and what they like and don’t like, then there should be no problem. Everyone is different in their own way. Females may like females and males may like males. Females may also like males, and males may also be attracted to females. Whatever interests one, it is no problem. Americans have free rights.       Love has no gender. Everyone can fall in love and it doesn’t matter who it’s with. “ No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love. The only queer people are those who don't love anybody” (Brown). There is equality in all relationships. Having trust with one is the same as having trust in a different gender. Being honest and having a deep passionate feeling for one can happen with anyone. Being in a relationship with a female or a male is no different. Everything is the exact same as with being with the opposite. Even Barrack Obama stated, "I favor legalized same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages" (Gale).   Some people believe that being homosexual is a bad thing. People argue their different political views of gays being together. “ As a mother, I know that homosexuals cannot biologically reproduce children; therefore, they must recruit our children” (Bryant). This mother is saying that homosexuals cannot have babies, so they have to take the people’s children who can have babies. In ones point of view, this is morally wrong. Homosexual couples can have children on their own. It is a difficult process but it can happen. Being in love with the same gender is no big deal. So, fall in love with whoever you want. Enjoy life to the fullest.  <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> []
