I believe...

          In the article Gays Win Rights Case Against Russia written by Thomas Grove and Amie Ferris-Rotman they talk about Nikolai Alexeyev; the gay rights activist, and how he made three cases with the court arguing that Russia had violated the European Convention on Human Rights.  This article caught my attention because I think everyone should fight for what they believe.  Especially something like Gay rights, if this is how these people want to live their lives, then it is their choice.  The government shouldn’t be able to take away their happiness.  What if the laws were switched… what if only gay marriages were legal?  What if you weren’t allowed to marry the person you loved because of gender?  I think if the government was affecting your happiness, the way it’s getting in the way of the gay couples, we would be unhappy to.  I would hope that rights were fought for in the same way they are being fought for now… If you believe in something get out and make it happen.  Don’t let anything hold you back!

          Some of our families best friends are homosexuals, it doesn’t change who the people are inside.  Why does it matter who they love? Personally I would rather be around someone who is happy in life.  Rather than be around someone who doesn’t enjoy life anymore, because of laws that say they can’t be with the one person he/she loves.  It’s almost like a different form of racism in the world.  Although most of my blog has a positive view on gay relationships I still don’t think it’s completely ok.  The Bible actually sees it as a sin deifying the way God created us.  God wanted man to be with a woman.  So I personally am against gay relationships, but I do believe people should do what makes them happy and fight for what they believe.
