Allow LGBTQ couples should have the same right to marry the person they love as other couples. No person should be discriminated against because of their faith, color of their skin or sexual orientation.

Why is this important?

I have many homosexual friends that are being denied the same right to marry the person they love that I have been afforded. Times changes and we as educated human being need to change with those times. It's an old argument but still has meaning. There was a time when people of different faiths and skin coloring were forbidden to marry. That changed with the times and so should it be for LGBTQ couples.
