Gay Marriage

I don't understand or like politics and I don't follow anything regarding them.  
I don't keep up on anything that is happening with celebrities because I simply don't care. 
Even though I wish I kept up with the news more, I usually am pretty uninformed about what is going on in the world.  

One thing that I have been (semi) following is the Illinois Gay Marriage bill.  Yesterday, I saw online that they did not approve the bill for gay marriage in Illinois.  Yesterday I was also searching Pinterest for vegetarian and pro gay marriage things (these are the types of things that I do with my free time), and I came across this:

That is sooo true.  Seriously though, if two people are in love, why shouldn't they be allowed to marry?  I also saw this on Pinterest:

Once again, so true.  My friend said that one reason why some don't want gay marriage to be legal is because people might abuse it and marry their friend simply for the marriage benefits.  uhhm HELLO, you can do the exact same thing (marrying your friend and scamming the system) with man/woman marriages too. 

Ellen DeGeneres is, without a doubt, one of my favorite celebrities. She and her wife Portia de Rossi were married in August of 2008. Although it is very unlike me to take a strong stance about controversial issues such as this one, I would definitely be willing to strongly voice my opinion about this one.  

Every person should be allowed to live their life as they chose to live it.

Having sex with a horse is legal in 23 states.

Apparently in Arkansas you can marry if you are under the age of 18 and have a parents consent.  

Yet gay marriage is legal in only 12 states (I think).  

Think about that...
