Gay Marriage in the United States by Nicole P.

In a few years, my sister will be falling in love and wanting to get married. Her friends and family will all be so very happy for her and they are going to want to see her get married. Only, she won't be able to, she will be subjected to a life without marriage because of the laws out there banning the gay community to get married. I, myself, would love to see my sister get married and see a life full of love and happiness for her. I love her too much and if she can't be happy, that would just break my heart. So, being only sixteen without the opportunity to vote, I would like to voice my opinion to help make change in the world; to make change for the gay community, so they can become happily married as well.
