Gay rights have gone back and forth in many states and are just recently becoming legalized in many. Some states have still yet to even broach the topic of gay rights. I strongly believe in the people’s right to make their own decisions without having them affected by outside parties. While at the university here in Laramie I have learned a lot about how I want to change this world, I have learned that everyone can make a difference and this is one thing that I can begin a fight for. Here in Laramie not many people openly speak out against homosexuality many people here believe live and let live. There is no way to force someone to have your beliefs but people must be able to accept others for who they are.
Wyoming does not recognize any same sex marriages. What gives the government the right to decide who should be together. I can accept that some people don’t believe or understand homosexual relationship, but I can’t understand how they think they have the right to dictate how people live. Gay and lesbian couples don’t speak out about heterosexual relationships, so why do heterosexuals speak out against the gay and lesbian relationships. We are now in a day and age where we have achieved so much and overcome so many judgments yet so many people refuse to overcome their prejudice against homosexuality. I hope that in my lifetime I can make a difference and help the gays and lesbians gain rights.
