Stage Six- Commentary on a Colleagues Work


This commentary is over the article "Blog Stage Five", from the "Don't Mess With Texas, It's the Law" blog:

The issue that people have with same-sex marriage is definitely hard to understand for some, and the fact that it is pointed out here is very genuine- in my opinion. I think it takes a lot for people- especially living in the Conservative state of Texas- to be accepting of those who are attracted to the same sex. Like you, I feel that the desire to marry is not something that carries rules behind it. Love is something to cherish, no matter who that bond is created with.
That being said, I also feel that your argument could have been made stronger. Yes, your opinion is clear and understood, but what about the other side of the coin? People who oppose same-sex marriage have a say and an opinion just like you or I- does that opinion matter to you? These questions cross my mind. This brings me to want to look into the subject and explore the strong opinion of others. It makes me want to perhaps ask others personally. Austin is a very liberal city, which is why the topic interests me.
I like that this article compels me to do research on my own, and I also like the information that was provided. This topic is something I will be keeping my eye on.
