On
Friday, June 26, 2015 was a glorious day; the Supreme Court legalized same-sex
marriage. Everyone that I saw on Facebook was ecstatic about this momentous
occasion. I could not be happier myself since I truly believe everyone should
have the right to unify with whoever partner he or she chooses. However, not
everyone may agree. Some individuals stay faithful to their faith and follow
the Bible, as they believe they should. An article by Richard Whittaker titled Republicans
Versus “Government Marriage”: Ambitious GOPer calls for marriage-ending special
session. The article discussed Republican David Simpson believes “we should
just get rid of the institution all together.” Governor Greg Abbot has been
railing against activist judges, and Attorney General Ken Paxton believes that
state employees should not be forced to comply with the new law. To summarize,
Governor Simpson wants to change the process of issuing how marriage licenses
will be issued. I find it interesting because individuals have the right to be
opinionated and have freedom of religion. It is difficult to pass laws that will please
everyone. There are still nuts and screws to tighten in order for everything to
be stable.
