Gay marriage

If we look back 17 years, we will see that many things about gay marriage have changed. For example, 17 years ago the Congress introduced a bill saying the federal government would recognize only marriages between a man and a woman, no matter what laws might be passed by the states. The bill went through and was signed into law by a liberal president named Bill Clinton. At this time gay marriage was a radical, politically untouchable idea that no one thought would ever change. After some time, Vermont created "civil unions" for gay couples. But the gay community pushed for more: they wanted marriage. Some of you may now question yourself how a civil union could not be enough for gay couples, but it is not really hard to understand them. The question gay couples have in their head would be: why offer all the same rights and not call it marriage? Why can we not just been seen as equal?
In 2004, Massachusetts approved gay marriage. Now 13 states allow it and another 7 allow marriages in form of unions. There are still many states that ban same-sex unions.
As we can see, some things have changed but there are still problems in society. Many people do not want to accept that gay couples "exist" and further do not accept gay marriage.
Macklemore,  a famous American rapper, fights active for legalizing gay marriage. For example with his song "Same love" he tries to make people aware of what they are saying and what is going on. I think people do not understand that "to be gay" is not a decision you can make. Either you are gay or you are not. So why treat gay people differently or be unfair for things they did not choose. They just want to be theirselves and I am going to support that.
What do you think of gay marriage? Would be nice to discuss it with you :)
