Equal Marriage
It's in the news.Heard all over your school campus. Even in books.
Equal Marriage.
You get the strong believers that say;No Gay marriage. It's a sin,It's wrong. They start slamming Bible verses down..but have they ever thought of the fact that Jesus said that those who Judge is Equally of sin? No they don't,all they see is a perfectly happy gay couple,and immediately start going "Oh these people are sinning".
My personal Opinion on all of this is,They are not hurting you or others why get upset? Their happy,their not going around saying"Man and woman marriage is wrong" are they? so let them be married and happy,let them have a family.
I mean you Hear constantly about teens who commit suicide because someone herd they are gay or lesbian or even Bi,and they were teased merciless. Seriously,to the point they didn't want to be alive anymore. How sad is that? they wont ever get married,have kids whether it is through adoption or what not.They don't get to do there dream job,all because someone felt they needed to tease them because they were gay.
Adult gay couples can receive the same amount of hate. It's sad how people treat others,Shouldn't everyone receive the same amount of equality and be treated the same? Isn't that the reason why we have America to a point? So we could have freedom for religion,so we could have freedom in Law and who rules America? Everyone should be treated the way you would want to be treated,with freedom to do what you want and Equality.

It was nice that you stated the positives of equal treatment and the negatives of unequal treatment. I liked how you presented the opinions of the opposers of equal marriage and the defendants of equal marriage. And you were very strong when it came to expressing your opinion :)
Overall, I'll rate it four out of five stars because of some incorrect grammar usage that someone else already mentioned. No point in me repeating. Forgive me! I'm such a grammar geek! xD
So the positives. You showed the sides of those who opposed gay marriage and those who defended gay marriage quite well. You spoke your opinion also, which was very important and very good. You spoke of the benefits of equal treament for gays and bis, and the negatives of unequal treatment (the suicides and other stuff).
Overall, I liked it. I'll give you four out of five stars, because of some incorrect grammar usage. I think they've already been mentioned by someone else. Forgive me, but I'm such a grammar geek. xD
Okay, first of all, I’ll give you criticism, then I’ll say what you’re doing right.
1. Work on your spacing. There are two spaces between a period and the next word and there is one space after a comma, colon and semicolon.
2. You don’t need to capitalize ‘judge’, ‘equally’, ‘opinion’, ‘hear’, ‘bi’, ‘shouldn’t’ and ‘law’. These words are not proper nouns and are not at the beginning of a sentence. Capitalizing them is distracting and takes away from the quality of your writing.
3. “Their happy,their not going around saying…” You used the wrong word. It should be ‘they’re’ because you are saying ‘they are’ rather than indicating possession. ‘herd’ should be ‘heard’ because we are not discussing cattle, we are discussing hearing something.
4. You are stating your opinions very clearly, but you may want some more facts to back it up. Once you get the mechanics of your writing mastered, you need to work on your arguments a bit. Get scientific data and statistics, especially about the teen suicides.
Okay, I think that’s it. I’m not launching a personal attack against you, I’m just trying to help you with your writing.
