My view is in support of the same-sex marriage issue across the United States. The same-sex couples have the right to conduct their marriage proceedings in appropriate public, religious, and private institutions. However, the wedding official must have the right to deny the officiating duty if the ceremony is against his or her religious beliefs and values (Caitlin, 2015). For example, Catholic priests or Muslim clerics have the right to deny same-sex couples the marriage proceedings. Likewise, religious public or private officers who have the wedding officiating and registration duties have the right to prevent same-sex marriages as they are against their beliefs and values.
My support for the same-sex marriages is due to the constitutional provisions of the rights to pursue happiness, form families, and participate in human associations (Obergefell v Hodges, 2015). All individuals, including the same-sex couples, have the legal rights to start families and pursue their happiness. At the same time, other individuals have different interests and the right to practice their beliefs and values (Gerstmann, 2017). The religious belief rights are in the US Constitution. Thus, religious leaders and public or private officials who have religious beliefs should get an exemption from the same-sex activities.
I am a strong supporter of the same-sex marriage. The US Constitution and the judicial precedents show that all individuals have the right to form families without discrimination by sexual orientation.

In the Obergefell v Hodges case, the US Supreme Court shows the marriage rights of all same-sex couples in all the American states (Obergefell v Hodges, 2015). However, only the public and private officials who support the same-sex union should get the privilege of conducting the marriage ceremonies.
I always have a positive opinion about various categories of marriages, and my views will not change. All individuals of mature age and sound mind have the constitutional right to form families through marriage. People have diverse sexual orientation and, therefore, they must participate in the wedding ceremony that favors their sexual and family interests (Caitlin, 2015). Same-sex marriage is desirable as it aims at improving the happiness of the couples and their families.
Public officials have the right to exempt themselves from the same-sex marriage proceedings if it is against their religious beliefs (Obergefell v Hodges, 2015). There are also public officials who support the same-sex unions. Thus, the officers who support the same-sex wedding have the responsibility of overseeing the ceremony (Caitlin, 2015). The work managers have the responsibility of developing a good work environment for the religious and the non-religious officers, by allocating them heterosexual and same-sex marriage duties respectively.
The private businesses and their staff have the constitutional right to accept or reject the wedding requests depending on their interests and religious views (Obergefell v Hodges, 2015). For example, a Muslim-owned business has the right to decline an offer to register or plan the same-sex marriages (Gerstmann, 2017). Consequently, the law and legislation that allow religious public officials and private business organizations to deny marriage services to the same-sex couples are constitutional.
