Same sex unions are a very touchy topic no matter who you are. Weather you are black, white, Republican, Democratic, christian or non-christian everyone has a different opinion. And with more gay people becoming comfortable in society, its an issue people know well. The topic is debated so often because people cannot agree whether same sex unions are right or wrong.
People who are gay are more accepted then they were 10 years ago. Though they are still criticized and targeted by hate crimes, it is much easier to be gay then it was in the past. Now that they have established themselves as different, some gays believe that they are entitled to be legally married. And it is this simple wish that has caused a ruckus in politics, churches and amongst many people.
Students at Washington Adventist University have mixed opinions about same sex unions. Some believe it is wrong. Veronica Jackson, a psychology student in WAU's graduate program, believes, "Society is progressing fast in the wrong direction and we need to remember that God never intended it to be that way."
Philip Clark, a biology major, agrees and says "Adam was made for Eve, not Steve."
Some students believe that if we remove the religious aspects of the situation, it would be more acceptable. Chris Edwards believes "Condemning homosexual people for wanting to get married is a religious thing. There needs to be separation of church and state. The state should be allowed to marry gays and not the church if they do not want to. There is nothing wrong with it. Everyone deserves to have their rights no matter who you are.".
There is not a defined balance on the views of gay unions. People will have to individually decided for themselves what they believe to be morally correct. Same sex unions will continue to be an issue in America and throughout the world as gays continue to pursue equal rights.
