Short Answer:
The lead story in the Statesman today is about same-sex marriage. Please read the first part of the story on Page 1, if you want to read the entire story please do, but you don't need it to answer the question below.
What do you think about same-sex marriage? Should it be legal? Should a man be able to marry another man, or a woman to marry another woman? WHY or WHY NOT?
Yes and yes. I'm a member of the LGBTQ+ community as are many of my friends and family members, and it's an issue very close to my heart. Though I don't think that marriage is the only problem facing the community, or even the most important one (see: murders and assaults against members of the community), but for Texas, a traditionally very conservative state, overturning the ban would be a step forward.
