I chose to answer the question about same-sex marriages. I decided to write about this topic, not only because it was the last topic discussed in class, but because I know a same-sex couple personally. Now, they have been together for a long time, and even helped raise one of the partner's children, however they do not want to get married. Even though that is the case, I think they should have that option if they wanted. Since they have been together for so long and live together, what would happen to one partner if they decided to break up. That partner has no rights to any of the possessions that they have obtained together. Is it me, or does that not seem fair?
