Response:
Gay marriage has been a very
controversial topic, especially in the past few years. To depict that this
issue is still relevant and significant today, El Camino Real Charter High
School students wrote essays explaining their views on the issue of gay
marriage. The view of these students is a crucial way to help predict the
future generation and how dedicated they will be to various causes, specifically
gay marriage. The students participated in a play titled, "8," which
"dramatizes the 2010 trial that overturned California's ban on gay
marriage...author Dustin Lance Black attended and participated in a discussion
afterward." This dedication to the topic of gay marriage is important not
to force people to support it but rather give facts about the issue and have
people make educated opinions.
Some 250 students took advantage of
the opportunity and submitted essays and their views ranged from full support
to total opposition to supportive but not in agreement with gay marriage. In
addition, some students enclosed concerns and stories about themselves,
relatives or friends that are gay, which gives the gay marriage a more personal
side. Gay marriage is an issue in the world today, however this freedom to
express one's views is very important and gives hope that the future generations
will not necessarily agree or disagree but be more understanding to the world
around them. These students should be illustrated as models to the world, who
depict that is okay to articulate one's views and that it is okay to disagree
as long as one fully understands and recognizes the issue.
