Blog #10

For my assemblage project, if I understand it correctly, then I would like my topic to be on the legalization of gay marriage. Other ideas I was also thinking about writing about include: retaking the drivers test at a certain age again (example, 65 year olds), legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes, or persuading people not to drink and drive.

For now I decided to focus on the legalization of gay marriage. I believe that the fact that the government even has the right to stop people from being legally binded to the people they love is barbaric. Nothing makes less sense to me than the thought that marrying the person you love can actually be entirely against the “rules” and impossible. There are more than 30 states that accept and love love in all cases, but there are still those few states living in the past, unable to accept the differences in the world.

I believe my audience would be voters across the United States, and the government, or anyone who has any influence in the legalization of same-sex marriage. I would target anyone that has any significance to the process of legalizing things.

I think the most effective way to prove my point would be through some sort of video or commercial where you could see how unfortunate this law is to the people it affects, and how deeply it affects them and their lives. If I had more time to complete this project I think the best way to get people to open their eyes to this topic would be to interview all the people it really impacts.
