10% of voters from the Pew Research Center say that they are indifferent when it comes to the topic of same-sex marriage. Mesabi East High School junior Amber Padget is one person among this 10%.
“Frankly, I don’t really care. I mean, if two people want to get married, they should. If it’s out of love, does it even really matter? I was raised to let people make their own decisions I mean my parents told me if people of the same sex want to be together, let them; it’s not our problem, it’s their choice. I have a friend who’s gay and a couple of friends that are bi. It doesn’t bother me at all, I mean, I treat them like I would everyone else,” said Padget. She continues, “If I had to choose a side, I would allow it. Like I said before, if two people love each other and want to be together, why shouldn’t they? I’m a Christian and I’ve been told it’s wrong for two people of the same sex to be together, but do I care? No. My religious beliefs have nothing to do with how I feel about people and what it is that those people do.”
If a person is in the middle of this issue, they tend to just not care either way. These people believe that if a homosexual would like to marry their partner, then that is their own business and it is no one else’s, just like a heterosexual marriage.
