Should gay marriage be legal? Macklamore and Ryan Lewis' music supports many different things. They rap about a lot of things. They could always stick to citing status and rapping about money, girls, and fame, but instead they choose to write their music about topics that truly matter to Americans. Macklamore and Ryan Lewis' music continued to bring beats about human rights and the desire to see people equal. Although he considers all humans equal, his mission through writing and singing is to get people to change their point of view and for the government to change its laws to allow two people of the same sex, two women or two men to get married. As of August 19, 2013 as many as fifteen countries such as Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland and other countries, as well as several subnational jurisdictions, such as parts of Mexico and the United States, allow same-sex marriage. Although only eighteen states in the United States allow same-sex marriage. Those who support its goals are to achieve worldwide legalization of same-sex marriage. Although our President does not believe in same-sex marriage, our government is declaring acceptance of the idea. “In a new milestone for gay rights, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. will issue a directive that will expand government recognition of same-sex marriages to all federal courtrooms and prisons, and to some programs of federal benefits. (LA Times). Holder says he plans to announce Saturday night at a gay rights dinner in New York City that gay or lesbian partners can refuse to testify against their spouse in federal or criminal cases and the Justice Department cannot object to that. Same-sex marriages will also be awarded $50,000 to support such unions. Assistance is lower, just over six in ten, among nonwhites and those with lower incomes. Six-in-ten evangelical Protestants oppose same-sex marriage, while about six-in-ten Catholics, non-evangelical Protestants, and eight-in-ten with no spiritual affiliation support it. Three-quarters of Americans younger than thirty support same-sex marital relationships, while fewer than half of older adults agree. Support for same-sex marriage reaches nearly eight in ten white Democrats, and an even larger percentage with additional incomes than $50,000 support such unions. So, as I explained in my article, both sides are for gay marriage and against gay marriage. I believe gay marriage should be legal. Two people should be able to love each other and celebrate their love with marriage.
