Britain Legalizes Gay Marriage


           Many states have refused to allow same sex marriages. There have only been a few that have legalized it. Britain decided to legalize gay marriage on July 17, 2013. I am sure there will be many people very thankful for this. I am also sure there will be many people very angry and do not agree with this decision. This is why this is such a big deal to so many people.
            In today’s society you can never please everyone. If you are overweight people call you fat. If you are underweight people call you anorexic. If you are quite you are accused as being rude. If you are very talkative people think you are annoying. The same sex marriage fits in this category. Some people believe you should do what makes you happy. Others believe that the bible says you are to marry the opposite sex.
            Queen Elizabeth II approval of gay marriage will be legal next summer. The bill allows gay couples to get married in both civil and religious ceremonies in England and Wales. I do not believe people are considering the situation very carefully. Some people just go with what the media talks about. In my opinion, I think this is a great thing for all countries to do.       
            I wonder if all countries will eventually legalize gay marriage. I think other countries should follow the footsteps of Britain. United States has been battling for years on whether to legalize same sex marriage. Britain has legalized gay marriage after Queen Elizabeth II gave her loyal stamp of approval.
