In the essay “I’m not Willing to Settle for Crumbs” Kim Severson discusses that gay marriage should have equal marriage rights as people who marry the opposite sex. Kim Severson describes her own experiences about living with a gay couple. Kim is in love with Katia, her partner and wishes to have a traditional wedding someday. Because not every state in the United State legalizes gay marriage, Severson knows she cant be married legally in every state. As soon as a gay couple leaves the state they got married, their marriage is no longer legal. Severson hopes that someday same sex couples will have all the rights straight couples have. Same sex couples should have the same legal rights as opposite sex couples.
I really liked the essay “I’m not Willing to Settle for Crumbs” because I believe same sex couples should have the rights to marry whoever they wish. In the United States we have the right of pursuit of happiness, which is why I don’t understand how gay people don’t get the right to pursuit their own happiness and marry who they wish. I believe its sad that gay people may never get the chance to experience a traditional wedding.
