The first thing that grabbed my attention was the title of the column. This column was about gay people and their right on same-sex marriage. Some details that grabbed my attention were how he always felt insecure and not accepted. To me this is very sad that people can’t be tolerating about this. This country is supposed to be the land of the free and home of the brave, this country is supposed to be built on equality. There is saying on my fraternity’s crest that’s say vir quesqe vir, which is Latin for every man a man. To me this means that every human being deserves a base amount of respect. Equality is very important to me and same-sex marriage is a fight for equality. This man that is mentioned in the column, Chuck Bennett had live for 80 years and has seen many amazing this including the famous moon landing and the collapse of the Soviet Union. He was an English professor and later on he had become a dean. Maine is one of four states that have same-sex marriage on the ballot this election. They hope to join the six states that already allow same-sex marriage. If Maine passes this vote on same-sex marriage than this will be the first state to do so by popular vote. Bennett states that he never thought that this was possible. He had grown up being an outcast. He was forced out of the Navy. His parents had died not knowing that he was gay. The end of the article states that everyone could have been happier if only.
