"The Massachusetts Ruling Endorsing Gay Marriage Is Misguided" - in favor

This article is about how deciding whether gay marriage should be legalized or not is up to the courts. The writer believes that gay marriages should be legalized and that doing so will cause no harm to society. the argument is that bringing up a child in a gay household will create an unstable environment in the country. But this article states that "it would bring stability, respectability, and legal benefits of marriage to millions of children who are already being raised by gay and lesbian couples." i think that this is a great point to make, because what about the children who are already being raised by same-sex couples, do they have anyone who is supporting their side. the article is implying that if the government votes in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage then it could only benefit the country and not harm it. the article points out that the courts are worried that if they sign something about legalizing gay marriage then that will directly effect the endorsement of polygamy (being married to more then one person) and adult incest (relationships with people who are closely related). the person in the article so plainly points out that there are all of these restrictions on gay relationships and punishments, but there are no such punishments or restrictions on heterosexual relationships.
