one opportunity to get married once. This is reality for many same sex couples. That is why I am for making same sex marriage legal nationwide.

Not allowing a couple to get married based on sex is discrimination and furthermore allowing them to marry won’t ruin the sanctity of marriage. Not allowing same sex couples to marry is a form of discrimination. The definition of discrimination is unjust or prejudicial
