Gay couples deserve to be happy

I am straight and I believe that anyone who wants to be happy should have that right. I do not believe that anyone has the right to tell anyone who they can be married to, and I do not care who they are. If two males want to be married and they are happy let them. If two women want to be married and they are happy let them. Who are you and who gave you permission to make arrangements on anyone's life. It don't matter who you are. I believe anyone is entitled to have the same rights as any straight person. They are no different then we are and they need to be treated with the same rights as us. If you were in love do you believe you'd need someone's permission to get married?
