SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

MAIN IDEA

   The main idea in this article is the legalization of Same-Sex Marriage. Recently in Britain, gay marriage was legalized. This means that everyone has the right to get married to whomever they want.

SUMMARY

   In the article it states that Gay and Lesbian couples have waited decades to get married. It also states that people had to petition for this to be legalized. Two thirds of the people who voted said that it should be legalized, and the support is mostly among the younger people who voted. The Pride flag was raised above the British Cabinet Offices. That marked the first day of the legalization.

CHARACTERS

   On the picture on the right, it shows Peter McGraith and David Cabreza. They have been a couple for over 15 years. This is a picture of them smiling at their wedding at Islington Town Hall.

   Another picture on the right shows Andrew Wale and Neil Allard posing at their hotel after the first Same-sex marriage in Brighton.

   The British public are also a group of characters, it says that two thirds of them support same-sex marriage and that most of those people are the younger citizens.

BEST PART

   The best part of this article is how the British Government did the right thing. Despite all the people whom were against it. The British people decided to do what is best for the people. The definition of marriage has changed, it isn't a man and a women who love each other. It has now to expanded and rightfully so to be any two people who love each other.

WORST PART

   The worst part is how long it took for Britain to do this. Canada did it nine years ago, yet the British Government decided to only do it now. Another thing is that how some parts of the world will never have the basic rights.

OPINION

   In my opinion, this should have been legalized along time ago. I don't care if you are a believer or and atheist, just don't be an ass about it. Rights are rights, whether you like them or not.

RATING OUT OF TEN

   Although I do believe that everyone everywhere should have the right to be married to whom ever they want, it just annoys me at how long it took for this to happen, but because it finally did, I believe this article deserves a 10/10.
