What is more important, World Hunger or Same-Sex Marriage?

    Some support homosexuals, some don't support homosexuals, and there are others like me who don't care whether or not people support homosexuals. I don't care either way if homosexuals show affection or not. This is America and we have freedom of speech. I don't understand why everybody has to make a very big deal about homosexual people. They're in America and have a right to believe what they believe. Dan Cathy is the President of Chick-Fil-A, COO, and Truett Cathy's son. He has a brother named Don Cathy and he's the Vice President of Chick-Fil-A.  In the summer, Dan Cathy made a statement on a radio show about same-sex marriage, " I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage; ,I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."Cathy explained the company  his father created and the one he now runs is possible because of family and the support that families offer."We are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that … We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that," Cathy said.  I think we should all leave everybody alone and keep to ourselves and families. If you support homosexuals then good for you and if you don't then it's your decision. Dan Cathy didn't say he hated homosexuals, he said he didn't support homosexuals because of his biblical beliefs.
     If that many people supported our education like they did on Chick-Fil-A day than I would think the public schools wouldn't be so poor. " Most schools in bad condition are in the cities, where 70% students are below the poverty line(dosomething.org). People would have better education because the schools would have more money to buy better technologies and could pay for more teachers for the classrooms. I believe education is as important as children getting food in the morning, afternoon, and at night.  Every year, fifteen million children die of hunger. One out of eight children in the world go to bed hungry(library. thinkquest.org). If people would focus more on education and hunger than we wouldn't have world hunger or teens getting pregnant at young ages. The Center of Disease control says "that one-third of girls get pregnant before they're twenty. The website teenpregnancy.org says "750,000 teens get pregnant annually." I believe we should worry more on education, teen pregnancy, and child hunger rather than on same-sex marriage.
