Gay Marriage Should Be Legal

I strongly believe that same sex marriage should be legalized in all states. It is nobody’s business if there are two men, two women, or a man and a woman who are in love and wants to get married and wants to legalize it and start a family together. Gay marriage is actually protected by the Constitution’s commitments to liberty and equality; The US Supreme Court declared in 1974’s Cleveland

If homosexuals were allowed the right to marry in the eyes of the government, they could take better care of their loved one by health care benefits, increased profit from lower taxes, and supporting them in sickness and in health. As Karasu says, “Studies from researchers such as Kim and McKenry (2002); Marks and Lambert, 1998; and Horwitz et al. (1996) , all support the idea that marriage is more beneficial than any other living arrangement, and there is a cumulative effect in that the longer one stays married, the more benefits

Marriage between homosexual couples is just as normal as any other marriage. They may share a home, raise children, have careers, and go on vacation just like any other family might do. Two men being married is not harmful to society and it does not affect the lives of those surrounding them. People can

Same-sex marriage has come into the media in the past few years with many believing that a man should be able to marry a man and a female should be able to marry a female without these couples being married there are some major things that married couples get that these couples do, not as they are not allowed for example being labelled next of kin shared earnings and buying privileges and signing in their name as a married

Gay marriage has slowly become a significant factor amongst individuals of today’s society. On June 26, 2015, it was ruled out by the U.S. Supreme Court that gay marriage was now legal. The first thing that I thought was that “Wasn’t it already legal in the United States?” Well, apparently no it has not been legalized in the United States! (Dumb me.) The U.S. is known to be a nation of equality and gives everyone the freedom of the speech, but it is actually a nation full of racism, sexism, and homophobias. Our country gives us the freedom to do many things, but to gay couples they don’t have much freedom as others do. We are violating their freedom because we aren’t letting them marry the one they love, so to say that everyone in the U.S. has the freedom to do anything is wrong. Our civil rights and the Constitution give us many liberties. One of our civil liberties is the pursuit of happiness, which many homosexual people are not allowed to chase, but thanks to the new ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court homosexual people are allowed to chase it. They are being looked down at and are feeling ashamed of themselves because of all the cruelty that they are receiving. Homosexual people haven’t been able to fully express themselves until it was legalized for them to fully do so. They have been fighting for the right to be married to their same sex for about a decade now, and they have finally met their goal. #Lovewins.

A gay couple from Indianapolis who have waited to marry for years have been quoted as saying: “We 're positive because the mindset in this nation seems to be that it is unconstitutional to say that our marriages are different from any other marriage.” (pro-con,1) This means that gay people are staying optimistic. Prohibiting gay marriage is considered discrimination to gays because the government is not giving homosexual couples the same rights as gay heterosexuals, which is also unconstitutional. Therefore, same-sex couples should have access to the same marriage benefits and public acknowledgment enjoyed by heterosexual couples. (pro-con,1)

As of Nov. 20, 2014, in 35 states it is legal to marry someone of the same sex; leaving 15 states where it still isn't (1). Hold this in mind. A majority of people look forward to growing up and accomplishing their dreams. Some of whom marriage is a big part of their dream. Dreams of starting a new family and to forbid two people who love each other to marry is immoral. Therefore anyone straight, lesbian, or gay should have the right to marry.

With the issue of gay marriage, lines get blurred and religion rears its head to influence a government's decision of who shall be married and who will be refused. Denying the authenticity of one group of people's love is claiming that their love is inferior, which is just not the case. Love is central to everyone's life (Moats, 2004), not just those who others deem worthy. If gay marriage were to be legalized, people would gradually become more accepting of it as it becomes more commonplace. "‘People's minds are changed through observation, not through argument'" (Rogers, 2005, from Mohr, 1994). The more visible gays and lesbians become, the more accepting people would be of homosexuality as a whole- a principle that is already beginning to take effect in society today. We can go back, decade after decade, and see how our country has taken many strides in overcoming prejudices, such as civil rights, women’s rights, and interracial marriage. Now that we have recognized and combated

Gay marriage has been a controversial topic that is highly debated all around the globe, containing many of its own varying viewpoints and beliefs on both sides of the argument. Those who oppose same-sex marriage believe that it is a sacred bond that can only be kept sacred between a man and a woman, and that same-sex marriage will ruin the sanctity of marriage. Also, if gay marriage is allowed they believe that it will open the door to other non-traditional relationships to be accepted such as polygamy. Finally other key oppositions come from religious beliefs and standards. However the many that support gay marriage usually argue that everyone should have equal right to be in relationships with each other and receive the financial, emotional, and social benefits of marriage. I mean who really would be affected if same-sex marriage were to become legal? Nobody. If everyone feels that there is that special someone whom they are perfect for and will fall in love with, gay people would feel the same way. They deserve equal opportunity to not only find that perfect somebody but to be able to love them and get married. Leading to parenthood, and while gay couples are not able to have children on their own, that doesn’t mean they can’t adopt children off the street. However, several times have happened where a gay couple were put at the end of a waiting list or even denied completely just because of their sexual orientation. Other benefits to marriage are also tax breaks and

Gays and lesbians can also be granted the rights to legal marriage in order to ensure that all citizens enjoy full human rights. Therefore, if gay marriage is legalized they can have the same rights as heterosexuals in terms of adoption and medical right. On the other hand, the religions would be offended since marriage is an institution supposed to be holy and ordained by God if gays and lesbians are legalized. Therefore, by allowing same sex marriage sanctity of marriage would be violated. If gay marriages are not legally recognized the harmful consequences the couples would face include inability to participate in medical decisions that involve their partner who are dying, lack of right to own common property and exclusion from employment benefits. Opponents also fear that if gay marriages are recognized the society is more likely to accept same sex relationships as moral. The traditional definition of marriage is valuable and the society should define it as the only marriage and legitimize it. As a result, gay marriages are the eventual rejection of objective reality where an environment of going against the norm is

Gay marriage should be made legal because it is a human right and not a privilege. In 1950 interracial marriage was illegal, yet now modern society understands that it was a law that denied equal rights to couples who loved each other. This principle also applies to gay people because denying human rights to a specific section of society (i.e. the homosexual community) is discriminatory. (Infogr.am 2015). The section of same sex couples in Australia are also increasing annually by drastic levels (as shown in the graph in the appendix) and so it would be common sense to openly include gay couples in the law. (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2013).

First and foremost, gay marriages should not be allowed in the United States because we all as humans were not put on this earth to

In addition, marriage is a religious rite. “Gay marriage is not compatible with the beliefs, sacred texts, and traditions of many religious groups” (ProCon.org, 2011, Con Gay Marriage, ¶4). In fact, we know that most of the religions are opposing same-sex marriage, because they are always guided by the Bible and God’s commandments and his teachings. “Marriage was established by the Creator with its own nature, essential properties and purpose. No ideology can erase from the human spirit the certainty that marriage exists solely between a man and a woman” (ProCon.org, 2011, Con Gay Marriage, ¶12). If same-sex is legalized, churches and other religious institutions would be forced to change their rules in order to marry same-sex marriage couples.

The concept of marriage is in danger of being misunderstood due to same-sex couples wanting to be married and acquire the same benefits as heterosexual marriages. The fundamental purpose of marriage is uniting a man and a woman in a worthy cause to preserve human civilization. If everyone was homosexual, then how could our species be repeatedly produced? This problem could end human existence. Besides, even those who are not homosexual have restrictions on marriage so they can not assume they are being discriminated upon. Restrictions are created to keep the balance and concept of the idea from being muddled. Their sexual orientation has nothing to do with why these rules were put into place. As a result, homosexual individuals have the right to marry along with everyone else as long as the restrictions are not crossed. All rights are equal among the people even when dealing with marriage. Just because somebody has different

People are born homosexual. If you are homosexual you cannot get married. That idea is ridiculous. On June 26, 2015, the US Supreme Court ruled that the US Constitution guarantees the right for same-sex couples to marry. Marriage is defined as a sacred bond of love between two people. Gay people also feel love therefore, they should be allowed the same rights as everyone else in this country. Homosexuality is an accepted lifestyle nowadays with a proven biological causation. The only thing that should matter in marriage is love and denying them this is a violation of religious freedom.
