Love Wins

After reading the story, The Art of Cortly Love, it gave me some interesting insight on how love was viewed in medieval times. After reading chapter two: "Between What Persons Love May Exist" I was not surprised to find that it stated that people of the same sex cannot love each other. This relates to a debate that continues today. The United States has come a long way in supporting homosexual couples. This includes legalizing same-sex marriages, but we have yet to reach full equality. There are still many people in the United States that believe being a homosexual is morally wrong. Many of these people have this belief because of their religion. My uncle is married to a man that he loves. It took a long time before they were able to become married; throughout this period of time, both of them have faced hardships due to their sexual orientation. There are still many people today that face these same troubles, and it upsets me to know that many of these people are not accepted for who they love. I do not believe that you can choose who you love; I think love is a feeling, whether it is felt towards someone of the same-sex or not.
