The Empire Page

I have been interviewing a gay male couple with the intent of learning more about the entire issue and the controversy surrounding same sex marraiges around the country, and more specifically in New York State. The result of my research will be a three or four part series here in Keeping It Real highlighting all the issues surrounding same sex marriages from the stand point of a gay male couple who have been together for over 22 years.

I have my own opinion on the issue from both a civil/legal and religious perspective, but my goal is to learn as much as I can from these two people. Two people who are intimately impacted by New York State’s decision not to legalize same sex marriages.

The series should be starting in the next week or so. In the interim, I would like to hear from The Keeping It Real readers and The Empire Page readers. So please leave a comment as to what your views are on the issue of same sex marriages, both from a civil/legal perspective and from a religious perspective. I believe the issues need to be more openly discussed so everyone can learn as much as they can before deciding exactly where they stand.
