"The 14th amendment to the US Constitution applies equally to both gay and straight citizens. Thus, the government does not have the right to enact laws that ban marriage between individuals based on their sexual orientation."
The 14th also bans states from enacting laws that restrict civil liberties. Many people argue that marriage is a civil liberty.
You can continue with the fact that we do not live in a Theocracy and under the theory of separation of church and state within the Establishment Clause (1st amendment - US Constitution) the government also has no right to impose the Biblical will of the church on the citizenry.
Churches are free to define marriage within their own systems and can certainly decline to marry same sex couples. The government should be required to maintain a non-religious marriage system that is open and applies equally to all.

If it's for gay marriage, that's really good, and you should definitely mention in the intro how it's completely wrong to show both sides of the debate. Because if we were talking about black peoples rights or something like that, it's totally uncalled for to "balance" the debate by mentioning that some people (the KKK) have "valid" reasons for hating black people (they're closer to apes than whites, they are druggies... all that bullsh!t); it's unfit for print! So it should also be unfit for print to mention religious views and what not and call it "fair journalism", you know what I mean? You should just mention something like that. Anyways, sorry, that doesn't really help with a thesis statement. I'm really bad at writing so I wouldn't be much help. It's just something to think about.

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface.

You could start out by Gay Marriages: Controversial Topic in our society today. Then start by discussing political and social views about it. You may want to conduct an actual survey in your area to get a general consensus.
