Gay marriage should be legal

Living in the USA which is a supposedly free country I find that there are so many things people are deprived of that others take for granted. One of the major ones which has been in the news for years is the same sex marriage battle. Now here the thing, you cant claim that everyone has the same rights and then in another breath say that people can only marry who you deem is right by any particular standard, it's not constitutionally right to do so as through that you deprive someone of the right(not really listed in the bill of rights but voiced in the foundation of this country) to the pursuit of happiness, also on another aspect you cannot dictate laws for or against something based on religious views, sure we will say a good 50% of america is Christian of some sort and sure a big handful of those Christians will think homosexuality is a sin... DUHHHHH, however the 1st ammendment blatantly states that the gov't will not make laws with a given religion in mind, since freedom of religion is a right. So that said lets consider the fact that not everyone is Christian, or even religious for that matter, is it right to uphold those people to religious based laws for every little thing that people of that religion disagree with? Of course not otherwise one religion owns this country much to the same effect of the dark ages in europe, which for the most part is why the people who were here came here in the first place, TO AVOID RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. All this said I think its pretty clear that no laws should dictate who you can marry and sure there will be arguments to this along the lines of "we let gays marry next it's men marrying dogs" thats quite a stretch since dogs CAN'T TALK so they can't consent to the marriage, nor could they really be considered of sound mind since I think it's safe to extrapolate that a dogs general thoughts are "feed me, love me, throw the ball, pet me, are we gonna go outside/for a ride? and of course YOU WERE GONE FOREVER" dont think any of that has marriage in it... just sayin. However you might go so far as to say "next people will be marrying tons of wives in one marriage" well the BIG question there is, is that their religious beliefs? if so than that pretty much ends the debate cus reffer to constitutional ammendment I. Although i say if a man marries 10 wives or 1/woman marries 10 men or 1 they should get the same bennefits or draw backs no matter the amount of wives/husbands. That said for this to even be considered the following 3 criteria MUST be met, 1) Is everyone here of their OWN free will? 2)Is everyone of SOUND MIND? 3) and is everyone of the AGE OF CONSENT? If any of those questions gets a no response than the marriage is a NO GO. We live in a country and an era that follows the 50's with taboo and yet as a country we have only evolved to accept a handful of things thought to be taboo, this is wrong, taboo shouldn't exist, people shouldn't be so wrapped up in what other people do with their lives, whether it's who they have sex with and how, or who what they do in a given day, focus on your own lives and your OWN family and make sure YOUR family does what you think is right and let other people decide the same for THEMSELVES, it's not organizations or religious groups jobs to decide whats good for people, nor is it their duty to nanny the nation. Peace of the lord be with all of you in the world, no matter who you call him/her/them.
