Second Best

I feel my second best argument is acceptance in society. In 1999, 2/3 of Americans believed that gay and lesbian couples should not have the same rights as heterosexual couples when it came to marriage. However, in this past June, during a Rutgers-Eagle poll, 50% of people favored gar marriage, 44% opposed it, and the remaining 6% was for error. These stats shows how simply over a period of about 7 years, same-sex marriage has made its way from being open in society, to being ACCEPTED in society. Younger people and the new generations coming into this world have a better understanding and first hand experiences dealing with same-sex couples. Their views on the subject are far more liberating than elders, who back in their day, homosexuality was a topic kept very hush-hushed. As time goes on and the first for same-sex marriages goes with it, it is seen as simply a different way of life, BUT a life that does indeed exist. It is only natural that eventually it will be completely accepted.
