To the Honorable Hillary Rodham Clinton:
As we know New York is known for its wide diversity of people, style, and innovations. Yet we know that New York is one of the most liberal states and cities in the country, we have to understand where to draw the line for the sake of morality in society. Homosexual marriages, a very critical topic in society today, has been an ineluctable and chronic condition in our communities incepting sub-issues such as separation between church and state. The real question though is marriage based only on religious attributes through divine right or has it been something traditional that society created in order to substantiate the commencement of two people as one. Another vital element that comes into play is tolerance of the behavior of societal majority. Just because a certain large group of people claim their “preferences/activities” to be lucid and conventional doesnt mean that government must accommodate by legislating laws to appease them. This is where government should come into play and analyze how far we have palliated societies problems by throwing away common morals and ethics, and justifying it with the excuse of a “transforming and modernizing world”. I think we have redefined the meaning of modernization and substituted with our own definition of accepting immoral things to become prevalent in our societies.
In other words my proposition to you is sometimes we need to preserve conservativeness in order to sustain a rationally liberal city or state. At times we need to keep sacred things traditional and orthodox, altering them defeats their purpose and debauchs their sacrosanct value, leaving it meaningless. Marriage was created for a man and woman and should be kept like that, without any initial intentions of offending homosexuals, because just like every other citizen they have the right to practice their beliefs. The liberty of practicing your beliefs is probably the most optimal form of volition that can be granted by a country to its citizens, hence making the US the most benevolent and liberate country in the world. Even though something like a marriage title that can be considered minuscule
value to a few people, still shouldnt allow people to easily distribute certifications or authentications of betrothal to homosexuals, especially the churches due to the sinful nature of homosexuality.
