Reply to "Justice for all"

Justice for all argued about the need of health care for gay married couples. To legalize gay marriage has always been a hot issue but yet, no one seems openly discuss over the issue including many politicians. Total 5 states in the United States allow gay marriage by law. Sooner or later, gay marriage will be legalized by federal law. This is not the end to the solution. Discrimination to minority sexuality will still exist. The author of “Justice for all” insists that we should eliminate other systems which are against legal gay married couples. The author points out that most of gay couple are excluded from company benefits which is one example of discrimination. Even if they are fortunate enough to be eligible for coverage, they are still charged at the higher rate. We have to consider this point that by passing the law which allows gay people to marry means that the state and local government proves them to formulate a family. We have to look at this minority group and treat them the same as ordinary American families. I agree with this author, that if same sex marriage is ok by the law, then the government should provide essential things for a family regardless of there being two mothers or two father in that family. Taking care of their health and their family is a very basic need. It should be guaranteed by the government once gay marriage is approved. Equal liberties, equal rights, and civil rights must be accomplished in conjunction to approving a gay couple to marry.
