In June, 2015, same-sex marriage was legalized for all 50
states. Many people were happy about this decision because it meant that
homosexuals were treated equally by law as heterosexual individuals. Now there
were, and are, people who strongly don't agree with this law because they don't
believe that homosexual lifestyle is moral, mostly because of their religious
beliefs. This appears to be Universalism winning over Ethical Relativism.
Technically, yes, the law barely won by vote, which would mean the majority
ruled. But there is still a very large amount of people that are strongly
against it, because that is the way the majority of us were raised in America.
But times change, and we must use a moral which I believe would fall under
Universalism, which is all people should be treated equally. America was
founded on the idea of freedom and specifically designed to not allow religion
to mix with government. I believe we are remembering this fact as a nation, and
hope to continue down this beautiful path.
