Same Sex Marriage Still an Issue

Same Sex Marriage Still an Issue

Throughout the US states are considering mandates that would allow same sex partners to legally marry. Most believe that it is a religious issue that is stopping those states from making a decision on the issue. However, a new bit of information has come forward suggesting that the states are more concerned about having to give the couples the same rights as those mixed marriage couples.

The center of the issue seems to be financial for the most part, according to most experts in the field. When a person is married there are rights that are set in stone and those rights stand with the position of marriage. At this time same sex couples do not have those rights but if they were allowed to legally marry then they would have all the same rights.

These rights are at the center of the lawsuits that have been filed to prevent same sex marriage from taking place. Over the course of five years 100 lawsuits have been filed challenging same sex marriage. About one fourth of those challenges came from religious organizations around the US. The rest were based on the financial issues surrounding those in the state government.

Now the battle is before the Supreme Court and the world is waiting for an answer. This is a question that has been answered in the past but there seems to be no resolution when it comes to who is right or who is wrong in the fight.
