Gay rights is the most controversial issue in the United States of America. Carl Paladino has made his opinion clear to the people of New York State about gay rights. He is fully supportive of gay rights. He is against the discrimination and bullying of gays. However he is opposed to the most important part of gay rights: gay marriage. Andrew Cuomo believes that marriage equality for gays is the "civil-rights movement of our time".
Carl Paladino is looked at as a bully by the gay community. He stated that he was offended by the Gay Rights Parade by saying, "Yeah, because they wear these little Speedos, and they grind ... against each other, and I don't think little children should be exposed to that." Paladino attacked Cuomo's judgement on taking his daughters to the Gay Rights Parade. He thinks that children are being brainwashed into thinking that gay marriage is or homosexuality in general is "an equally valid and successful option."
Andrew Cuomo is pushing hard in the fight to legalize same sex marriage. He has many supporters, especially the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community and various gay rights groups. He plans to create and pass the Gender Non Discrimination Act. He stated that Paladino is plotting people against one another by declaring his opinion and asking the people to differentiate what is right and what is wrong.
I completely agree with Andrew Cuomo. In general, all people should have equal rights no matter what race you are or what sexual preference you have. There is a lot of division in this country. I don't feel like we are "United" like we are suppose to be. There will always be people who oppose different issues. But others should not be punished for loving someone of the same sex. I chose this topic because I feel that people who are homosexual deserve the same rights as everyone else. They have been fighting for the right to have same sex marriages for a while and there is no valid argument to prevent them from doing so.
