Why All The Fuss?

This is an issue that divides the nation. Family and friends cannot help but to argue over this. But is equal marriage really that appalling that people can't just leave those who choose to partake in this rite alone? First, for those who don't know, equal marriage, or same sex marriage, is the union of two people of the same sex in the rite of marriage. There are a lot of opponents of equal marriage, both religious and not. Their arguments vary, but still the one thing that doesn't make sense is why can't they just leave same sex couples alone. A same sex couple getting married isn't going to negatively, or otherwise, impact you unless you make it. If you choose to be bothered and personally offended by this act of love that is your problem, not the problem of those who don't even know you.
