This article called "Is Banning Same Sex Marriage unconstitutional?" has been written by Amy Huynh on her blog "Good Ole' America". In this article she is talking about same sex marriage and specifically arguing about whether or not banning same sex marriage is unlawful. Indeed, she is defending same sex marriage by Stating that prohibiting those kind of unions are outlawed.
I agree with her point of view because I also believe that everyone should be free to be with whoever they feel comfortable with. Beside , she is supporting her argument with relevant facts such as the bill of rights and the declaration of independence. According to this article, banning same sex marriage violates the first amendment imposing the state religion and its view against individuals. She also made a good point by saying that the society has evolved for the better over the time, therefore making same sex marriage legal must follow.

The H.B 1125 Bill
When it come to "same-sex marriage Questions," answers and reactions are really controversial. Those who are for same sex marriage usually believe that people must be free to love and have a relationship with whoever they want. They should be allowed to access civil union with their partner in order to obtain social and financial benefits marriage provides. On the other hand, others believe that marriage between people of same sex is against nature and therefore unbearable.
the solve that issue, numerous laws and bills have been passed in the United States over the years. Some seeks equality for everyone and support the LGBT movement while others promote inequality and discrimination toward the LGBT community.
Some laws and decisions made on marriage equality issues can sometimes be confusing and questionable. Weeks ago, Oklahoma state house passed a Republican backed bill (H.B 1125) aim to remove the government from issuing marriage license and preventing judge disapproving equality marriage from officiate same-sex marriage. This bill initially create to discriminate same-sex marriage was widely criticized. It was accused of being unconstitutional by favoring religiously-sanctioned marriages over other and certainly violated the establishment cause in the first amendment which demand that "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." Beside the critics revolving around it, this bill made by "anti-LGBT" may actually be beneficial for the LGBT community. According to Troy Stevenson (head of LGBT advocacy group in Oklahoma), 160 member of clergy have publicly declared their willingness to marry "LGBT people," and several major Christian denominations already allow clergy to officiate same-sex marriages.
The controversy and confusion revolving around this bill make it ineffective and, should therefore be dismiss. Indeed, the paper has a lot of flaws: it violates some establishment already existing in Oklahoma laws; it might removes state's ability to prevent bigamy or polygamy; and it also leave the question over whether or not any marriage performed under this system would still be recognized if people moved out-of-state.
Certainties provided by Troy Stevenson make the bill ineffective and meaningless. Stevenson even stated that one of the most anti-LGBT state legislators told him that he does not know if he is voting for or against the LGBT with this bill. The fact that oklahomans are confuse and still deciding if it is actually helping or hurting the LGBT community make the bill unreliable. The H.B 1125 bill should not be approved. It gives a confusing solution for a problem which do not even exist.
