While the church opposes same-sex marriage, Paez believes that LGBT people have the right to marry through the legal system if they wish.

    Spring 2016

    Same sex marriage and religion has been an ongoing controversy and living in a
    generation were our society is more open minded and accepting towards the LGBT
    community it is to no surprise why the church and todays society whom support same
    sex marriage are in such conflict. Both communities may not ever meet eye to eye for
    religious reasons but in my opinion what any one chooses to support it is important to
    respect ones right to be whom ever they chose to be, and with that not put anyone in a
    situation where they have to do something that goes against their beliefs or rights.
    With out being hassled by people or the government.
    Growing up Catholic myself I am not for nor against same sex marriage,
    because although the church opposes same sex marriage I am no one to say what is
    right or wrong. Although I do think its contradicting for a gay couple to marry through
    the church for their preference I do believe they have the right to marry if they wish
    through the court, a place that wouldnt go against their believes. If I could change a
    policy to better this controversy I dont think I would, I am for people having rights
    even though it might go against my beliefs but what I would change is to try to change
    the way people think in todays society. It is understood that you cant please everyone
    by trying to please everyone because at the end of the day everyone is different,
    different mind set, beliefs, and ethics. When a child is young they are taught that if
    they have nothing nice to say to someone dont say nothing at all. If this was instilled
    in us as we grew up as well I believe that yes this controversy would still have a role in
    our society but the aggression and lack of politeness would not be a big factor between
    both social groups. It is such a disappointing and angering feeling to see a country
    show such disrespect towards one another for the simple fact that they have different

    views from each other. I believe that the best way to handle a situation like this one is
    to just change the mind of those who are stuck in one view to open their minds and
    just be willing to accept our differences without crossing each others rights or having
    the put the other community against what they chose to believe.
    My views comes from a point where this controversy is tangled and I am
    well aware of it but the best one can do is show some courtesy for our differences. The
    reason I believe it is important to have mutual respect is because in a professional
    environment as in a job, education, or business relations ones differences should not
    interfere just because we can not respect each other and our differences.
