**It's a Tradition, Why Change It?** //[|Diego Sanchez] is a member of the National Honor Society and participates in varsity athletics at [|Eldorado High School].// February 14, 2013

After the election a CBS News poll found out that 51% of Americans nationwide approve of same-sex marriage. I am part of the 49% who disapprove of same-sex marriage. This topic of allowing same sex marriage has been around for years now. When I was younger I never put any thought into the topic.Now that I’m older, and this topic is coming up more I actually think about it. Nobody in my family is gay, and if they were I wouldn't judge them, it would be wrong of me to judge them. I would still love them as my family member. If a guy wants to date a guy or girl wants to date a girl I don’t have a problem with that. If I did or anyone else had a problem with that we couldn't do anything about it. We can’t change what people like and dislike or in what they believe in. All we can do is respect in what they believe and keep what you believe strong. If a guy wants to date another guy and that’s what makes them happy, I’m happy for them. I don’t have a problem with gay people at all I just don’t think they should be allowed to get married. When I think of a married couple I think of my mom and step dad. Marriage is a special thing, between a man and a woman. I think it should be kept that way forever. It has been a tradition throughout the entire world for a man and a woman who are in love to get married, and I don’t think we should change it now to allow two guys to get married or two girls to get married. I don’t think they should allow to guys or girls to get married to the same sex. Gay marriage through a religious view is wrong and through my eyes it is also wrong. I don’t think there should ever be two guys or two girls standing at the front of the church going through a marriage ceremony.
