Legalizing Gay Marriage

Same-sex marriage should be marriage because everyone is equal, love is always right, and people have a right to choose their own soulmates. First, equality is a basic right, which means everyone should get the same treatment. The restriction against same-sex marriage is an offense to the dignity of lesbians and gays, because it limits the range of relationship options open to them (Mello). The limit of same-sex marriage is against homosexuals to enjoy the same right as heterosexuals. It is not fair for homosexual to get the different treatment. There is a law to declare that legalizing homosexual marriage is to achieve the basis of equality come true. (Albertson).

Marriage has always been a sacred agreement between a man and woman. However, as times have changed, our ideas involving marriage are forced to change with the times. Our country has developed throughout the years to enforce the belief that all Americans should be granted equal rights no matter what their skin color or cultural background. Granting gays the right to marry would simply be giving all people equal rights in the issue of marriage.

Recently the American President was quoted in Chicago showing his support for gay couples adopting. "...what makes you a man is not the ability to make a child, it 's the courage to raise one." This shows how times have changed and the support for gay rights is growing. Sadly many people feel that same sex marriage should be illegal because they feel that homosexual couples are unable to make the same contributions to society that heterosexual marriages are able to make. Despite this homosexual marriages do not affect society in a negative way and should be legal and recognized just as heterosexual marriages are. Physically homosexuals cannot procreate, but that does not mean that they can 't contribute to society through raising children well. There are millions of children who want to be in a home with a family who love them. Foster children are often sent from foster home to foster home, which leads to a very unsteady childhood. Currently one quarter of children living with same-sex couples in the United States have been adopted, according to a research done by the Georgia State University College of Law. Some say that homosexuals will not be able to provide a stable house for children, but a home with two caring parents is far more stable than a foster home where a child rarely receives attention. Due to the fact that most nations are wanting to be one of equality, if homosexuals are not allowed

The most important cultural development in America in the last twenty-five years has definitely been the legalization of gay marriage. Few other issues in public policy have resulted in such a dramatic shift in public opinion as the controversy same-sex marriage and the rights that come along with the institute of marriage. The decade of the seventies was the time when numerous state statutes materialized defining marriages to only be valid between and man and a woman. Later in the nineties and on into two-thousands waves of political blocks on freedom to marry were instituted. Many states in the country began to pass increasingly restrictive statutes which were believed to promote unequal treatment of legally married same-sex couples. These statutes deprived them of the same protections and responsibilities that traditional marriages were guaranteed. Fortunately the Supreme Court made a historic ruling on June 26, 2015, that grants same sex couples an equal right to marry nationwide and creates a philosophical swing in law and our public attitude. The ruling has already created the most important yet contentious new constitutional liberty in more than a generation. This decision will forever alters our nation’s history and will rework the way society defines the traditional family, which means a significant impact on our culture. The freedom to marry is the most important cultural development in American history today because marriage is a protected commitment to liberty,

Legalizing gay marriage has given America a troubling debate throughout a majority of the states. With only thirty-seven states allowing legal gay marriage, the other thirteen have either banned it or are still deciding (unknown, 2015, para 1). Gay marriage is seen as different and wrong to so many people in America that is has become sickening. People do have their differences and as Justin Timberlake once said, “We’re people and we’re different, all of us. And we should be using our differences to bring ourselves closer together” and with this being said, everyone is equal to one another in different ways (Timberlake, 2014, 10). For example, two people could have two different religions, which is different, but also equal in the sense

There has been a huge debate in the United States of America of whether or not homosexuals should be able to get married. Well, most people right now are leaning towards them getting married, but they should be able to, except call it something else, because being “married” is being man and wife, not man and man/ wife and wife.

In the past, the definition of Marriage was a union between a man and a woman, but not anymore; today it has changed to a union between two individuals. Times have changed Mr. Prime Minister and the term of Marriage has been redefined. Society has come to learn and accept that being gay is not a choice or a sickness and that gay couple should have the right to be legally united with the ones they love. We live in the land of which my generation’s great grandparents have been fighting to establish, a county which they can be free in. We must promote equality rather than creating second class citizens. Sadly, these individuals are being deprived of their right to marry. We work, vote, and pay taxes. Just like I have my civil duties Mr. Prime Minister, I should have my civil rights. When this basic right is being prevented from these equal individuals, it sends a wrong message to the

Have you ever heard the quote, “till death do us apart”? Or do you know people that are married? Marriage is a beautiful privilege every person of the world has been granted by the constitution. It’s logical; if two people love each other, they will marry. But how is it that such a basic right has been prohibited from gays? Gay people deserve the right to love and be loved like the rest of us. Gay marriage is how legal in all 50 states in the U.S. however, it is not legal everywhere. European countries like, Hungary, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia and Ukraine to name a few still prohibit gay marriage. I think gay marriage should be allowed in all counties because they deserve to be happy like the rest of the people of the world.

America today is gripped in the controversial debate regarding gay rights; specifically, the right for two people who are of the same sex such as a man and man or woman and woman to be joined in the legal bond of marriage. The points of contention are largely separated into 4 main categories. The sanctity of the institution known as 'Marriage', the benefits gained from being married, family structure, and the growing impact of our society on a religious institution.

Marriage is a way that many people express their love to each other, showing how strong a commitment one can have towards another person. In recent years, the idea of what constitutes a married couple has changed. Traditionally, a man and a woman get married and live happily ever after. Over time, we have seen men and women of different colors and get married, as well as people of the same gender. Marriage has changed and has become such a huge topic of conversation and debate. Homosexual marriages have now become legal in all the U.S. I do not support gay marriages because homosexual couples should not have the right to get married, homosexual couples should not adopt without being judged, and also should not have the same financial benefits

     Others may disagree with gay marriages being banned. Others fell if that’s the lifestyle that they want their children to mock than they will have to deal with it in the long run. Of course gays will want gay marriages to become legal in all fifty states but is right? Gay parents fell as though their children will make their own decisions about their relations but in reality they will only follow what they know.

Same Sex Marriage should be legalized in the United States. There are over 1,049 federal rights and also over 300 state rights (depending on what state) that couples receive when they become offical married of many of which are denied to people in civil unions. One of the most hypocritical statements in the constitution is that it specifically written that marriage is

As the society changing, the history of marriage also changes. Marriage is legally recognized union of two people as partners in a personal relationship, but do those two partners always have to be a man and a woman? Most people believe that homosexuals should be granted equal rights as heterosexual couples. Being as an important social issue, same-sex marriage has become a hot topic of public debates in the recent years. For over the past decade, public support for the same-sex marriage has quickly risen. The United States is one of over twenty countries that allow gay and lesbian couples to wed. I believe that same-sex marriage should be legalized in all countries for several reasons, such as being an issue of equal rights, separation of church and state, no negative effect on the heterosexual communities, increasing in child adoption, and decreasing divorce and suicide rates.

In our time the traditional viewpoint that we have previously exerted in relationship to the definition of a family is being challenged more than ever before. Regardless of whether or not that is through grandparents raising children, foster children and adopted children being raised in families, single parenting, interracial couples, etc. One of the most talked about issues of our time is the legality of same sex union/marriages. The standpoint that many take on this issue is one rooted very deeply in traditions and personal beliefs. There is a constant conflict of opinions. However, research consistently that relationships between families are tied together based off of the quality of the relationship and child outcomes compared to the sexual orientation of the parents.

Why are so many people against gay marriage? I myself am for allowing gay marriage, gay marriage gives hope to kids that don’t have parents to have parents. In the first paragraph, I will explain the positives of gay partners and if it benefits the children getting adopted. Alas in the second I will explain if children get treated different from peers or from family members or other types of social environments. Finally, in the third I will explain the negatives and the other side of this story to give you an idea of other people views. Let’s dig in and get started!
