This the 21st Century, right?

Many of problems relating to gay marriage manifest itself through the definitional meaning of the word marriage. Marriage has been defined as the union of a man and a woman. In order to move forward it is necessary to reevaluate what constitutes a “marriage.” If the problem is in the language of the definition then we need to address that issue. The American Constitution was flawed from the very beginning hence the establishment of Amendments. If there is such an abundant of issues surrounding the definitional meaning, why not just alter the constitution to address all marriages as civil union instead. This is to apply to all unions, of any kind, despite sex.

While it is believed that gay marriage may not be pragmatic, who cares? Basing the decision of legalizing gay marriage on pragmatism seems a little silly. This makes it look like the government is denying a whole group of people the right to marry because its too much work to work it into how today’s society operates. It seems to me that something as simple as marrying who you want would be a standard accessible to all, regardless of sexual orientation. The juvenile behavior of denying people the right to marry because it goes against the norm needs to be halted.
