Left, right, back and forth… I swear we had passed the exact same pine tree for the eighth time, but how would I know I was surrounded with pine trees? The trees were tall towering above us, blending in with the darkness above. With every step we took on the snow spread ground you could hear the soft pillows of snow crunching under our feet. As dusk was setting the forest was filled with the sounds of animals coming out that night, every now and then the hoot of an owl, or the howl of a dog. Ethan still looking for a way out of the forest, never actually admitting that we were lost. To make this even worst was the thought that I was stuck with Ethan, of all people.

I am against the idea od gay marriage. When going against gay rights, most people bring up topics on thing like children, civil rights, and the major topic, Religion. I do agree that gay marriage does have an affect on a child, it denies them either a father or a mother, and when it comes to religion, I guess it questions how much faith you have in your religion. But the thing with society is that they have to get their point straight. We live in today’s society, which looks down on abortion, but then at the same time, treat teenage parents as failures. How are we meant to get a point across when we haven’t even picked a side to go

I do not believe that same sex marriage would “under-mine” public morality. I believe that people in toda'ys society that are truly shaken up by same-sex marriage, is those of the older generation. In the book Doing Ethics “To violate people’s right to equal treatment and equal opportunity is to treat them merely as a means to regard them as less than persons with full moral rights.”(453) Most people 45 and younger can completely accept same-sex marriage. Rick Guy, a former councilman and Republican candidate states that “it is sad that people were unable to see the unique dignity of marriage between a man and a women is very discouraging.”

The trees had a deep, rich chocolate brown bark, speckled in the leftover rain that seemed to catch the light perfectly;like tiny stars.. The leaves were just starting to accumulate in immense piles that would soon be for jumping into and the bitter or should I say frigid negative twenty degree weather gave you a sneak peek at what the weather would be feeling like within a few months. It all stood as still as a statue, causing you to just pause and admire the intricate surroundings. As we started up the great and looming hill I noticed a little red and black polka dotted friend on my shoulder. “ I shall call you Fred” I said as I looked down at the newly named Fred perched on my shoulder.

We were taught to not treat people differently but that it was a sin as defined in the bible. Later as I learned more about gay people, having friends that came out and such, I learned that they didn’t know it as a choice or lifestyle, but somehow that it was their nature. The more I learned about gay people, the more I moved away from being opposed to gay marriage. Saying that, I never was an advocate for gay marriage, simply someone who was impartial. My thought was that if it didn’t affect me, that I didn’t

Small, stagnant puddles, on the uneven planks of timber wood reflected the dark, brooding sky above - rarely disturbed by the callous slices of moonlight seeping through the clouds, creating a specular reflection through a ripple in the languid water. Surrounding the lake, lay a rigid, pine forest, which stretched far past the mountainous boundaries - rising high, around the solitary lake. A death-like mist pervaded through the trees enveloping them in a gelid, cutting fog. A silent, lonely willow shivered as the still, biting air engulfed its aged branches in an icy cage and suffocated its stiffened lungs, causing each freezing breath to drag. Crusted leaves stacked one on top of the other as
