current laws

There are three types of laws of marriage for lesbians and gays:defense of marriage act (D.O.M.A), gay marriage,and civil unions. Most states have D.O.M.A which does not allow gays and lesbians to get married. There are many benefits of marriage like having children, insurance,in inheritance and people can treat you equally.


"D.O.M.A prevents the federal government from recognizing gay marriage in states where it is legal, a provision of the law the Department of Justice says is unconstitutional."(http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/doma/2011/03/)It's not fair because they don't chose to be gay they should treat them equally.

 Fourteen states allow gays and lesbians to get married. Because they love each other and they want to be happy they are human beings like us so they have all the right to be happy and be treated equally. "http://video.about.com/gaylife/Best-Same-Sex-Wedding-Planning-Memories.htm"
