Same Sex Marriages
One day, Tom, a six-year-old from San Francisco came home from school feeling
isolated. It's bad enough that he had no mother to confide in, he had to live
with that thought all his life. Tom was so ostracized, shattered, and disturbed
that he slashed his wrists. Tom's life had changed when his father became gay

means that if one state passes or submits a law, other states must completely
follow this leading state. (American Government and Politics Today) That would
not be idealistic since a recent poll showed ninety percent of Americans oppose
gay marriages. (Gallup poll) Gay marriages should not be allowed because it is
unconstitutional. The forefathers of the land wrote the constitution on a solid
religious background. Making gay marriages legal would change most
constitutional laws. Just as the traditional families would have to get
insurance, so would a gay marriage couple. Therefore, insurance companies would
have to change their laws. Children would have to be taught about the illegal
