changes in 50 years

                In this chapter, it mentioned about gay and lesbian marriage.  Gay and lesbian marriage have changed a lot in the past, but nowadays, most states of United States still do not recognize same-sex marriage.  A number of United States clergy perform ceremonies to unite same-sex couples, and many states have passed civil rights laws to ensure that same-sex partners have legal rights just like heterosexual couples do.  In my opinion, gay marriage will be legal in most of the states in United States in fifty years. Since majority of gay men and lesbians seek long-term, committed relationship that are stable and enduring, just like heterosexual couples do, they should also have their right to get married.  For most of them, marriage is not an idea or goal; they want long-term commitments that are based on values that confirm with their identities. I think it is also important to have the same right as heterosexual couples.
