To persuade
To persuade my audience that we should legalize same-sex marriage in our country.
Same-sex marriage should be legalized since it is the natural form of the marriage evolution, part of human rights and able to prevent psychological stress from the LGB community. (LGB- lesbian, gays and bisexuals)
Problem and solution
I.INTRODUCTION

According to the law of marriage ACT 1976, there was no mention of the prohibition of same sex relationship which is stated in Section 11. So the same sex marriage is not breaks the law. Beside Section 37 had mentioned that both parties must willingly consent to the marriage by not forcing or being threatened by anybody. We have no right to care about other family issue since they are accepted by their family members.
The marriage of Jessie Chung and Joshua Beh is one of the gay marriages in Malaysia. Their family have agreed and accept their marriage. In year 2005, they have a traditional marriage. During their marriage they were blessed by their family members.
The last point will see how to reduce psychological stress for LGB community by legalising their marriages.
Legalizing the same-sex marriage are able to reduce psychological stress from the perspective of financial and family
According to Badgett, Lau, Sears, & Ho research, it has also shown that gay men living in same-sex relationships earn less than men in heterosexual marriages because they have been fired, received
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
In the article “Same-sex marriage protects Families and Children in Many Way” the author points out that “Parenting by same-gender couples is an established and growing part of the diverse structure of families in the United states.” (same-sex, 2015). Therefore embracing Americans diversity and promoting differences have lead to same-sex marriage being permitted and eventually accepted. Promoting same-sex marriage will financially support couples because it will allow both parties to put both names on title to a home, etc. In previous studies, 34.3% of lesbian couples and 22.3% of gay couples are raising children nationwide. Researches have proven that children who grow up up with married parents benefit that the relationship is recognized by the law. Arguing that being a good parent is not based of whom each other love, but on how on is treated and cared for. Also proven in studies shows that married couples have higher levels of happiness and less sickness than those who are unmarried. By promotion of same-sex marriage finacial support will increase, children will grow, and same-sex marriages will live happily and
Beyond the simple justice to give this element of equal rights to lesbians and gays, the legalization of gay marriage in selected states reflects a change in attitudes in society towards LGBT people and is a positive factor in
must granted the marriage licensing to the gay and the lesbian couples and it recognise marriages that
Some research suggests same sex marriages could save money for federal and state governments. And for corporate America, the costs of extending benefits to the partners and families of homosexual employees are small. More and more companies, state and municipal governments, and colleges and universities are granting benefits to homosexual workers and children. One big reason: It 's cheap. On average, it would add 1-2 percent tops to employers ' benefit costs.
There are over 105 million households in the United States today and out of those households, there are over 1.2 million gay people living with same-sex partners (“Census on Gays in America”). This makes the proposed legalization of same-sex marriage one of the most significant issues in contemporary America. It is presently one of the most discussed reforms in law reviews and the American court systems. If legalized, it could be one of the most revolutionary policy decisions in the history of America, along with women’s rights, interracial marriage, and slavery. There are many people who are opposed and feel it is morally and ethically wrong and others who feel that same-sex marriages are acceptable. Prior to
Gay marriage has been one of the most common topic under discussion, arguments and quarrels since couple of years in almost every nation of the world. Looking deep down to the region of United States, same-sex marriage or gay marriage has not been legalized and documented in most of its jurisdictions. However, it is prudent to note that with the beginning of the twenty first century, only a few of US states have legally recognized the gay marriage through court verdicts and legislative proceedings and have lawfully allowed the gay people to get into a relationship (Wolfson 2004).
If gay marriage is legalised there will be more acceptance and make it easier, especially for younger children, to realise that being gay is okay. It is normal and there is no need to be scared to “come out” to family and friends. It could decrease risk of abuse and bullying towards homosexuals particularly during school years. Researchers have found that suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth is comparatively higher than among the general population. Homosexual teens and young adults have one of the highest rates of suicide attempts. It is
Turbulent coherent structures are flow patterns that can be distinguished from each other, as opposed to motions such as eddies which are subject to the phenomenon of superpositioning. Several of these occur in the near-wall region:
The rejection of equal marriage rights completely puts a disadvantage on children who are raised by same-sex couples. The lack of support for families with same-sex parents hinders the children within our society as a whole. The lack of acceptance is damaging to children within same-sex families. The legalization of gay marriage helps to address this injustice by supporting the value of families led by same-sex
"Marriage isn't between a man and woman, but between love and love." Gay marriage should be legalized in every state because homosexuals deserve the same equal rights as heterosexuals. Nobody should be told who they can and cannot marry. Everyone deserves a chance to be happy and not legalizing marriage is taking that opportunity away from homosexuals who want to get married.
As we know, same-sex marriage has been a prominent issue that has so many arguments not just in the United States, but around the world over many years now. There is absolutely nothing more controversial than same-sex marriage in gay rights topic. Everyone has different opinions about same-sex marriage whether it should be legal or not. We now have to consider two aspects that are moral and religious. These two form a fundamental belief that same-sex couples and opposite-sex couples are different. Based on the definition of marriage, the view of religion, bad effects to children, and the lifestyle that should not be encouraged; therefore, the government should not legalize the same-sex marriage.
The United States economy will receive a substantial boost from the legalization of same-sex marriage, due to improved labor mobility and increased productivity. The United States Supreme Court ruled in June that same-sex couples had the right to marry, meaning that all states must now recognize and conduct gay marriages. States decided on an individual basis whether to do so, with some conservative states opting to ban them (Cosgrave). Same Sex Marriage causes kids that are growing up to think it is okay and causes heterosexual marriages break apart. Same Sex Marriage denies a child, turns a moral wrong into a civil right, defeats the purpose of benefiting marriage, and is against the Biblical truth.
The next fact that Dr. Cameron talks about is homosexual marriage having the highest rate of domestic violence. He gives many reasons for supporting his facts with many different statistics, including that the average rate of domestic violence in a traditional marriage that was established by a nationwide federal government survey of 6, 779 married couples in 1988 is less than five percent per year. Only two percent of husbands and 3.2 percent of wives said that they were hit, shoved or had things thrown at them but with unmarried couples the percentages rise with a rate of about 20 % to 25% per year. But in a same-sex marriage, 48% of forty-three lesbian and 39% of thirty-nine gay couples reported domestic violence and from a study that had 70 lesbian and gay students that were put into a conflict resolution situation with gay and lesbian relationships, there was an estimated 29% of gay and 56% of lesbian couples that experienced violence in the past year.
On June twenty-sixth same sex marriage was made legal by the supreme court. This ruling lead to justified celebration by many Americans. However, it is important to understand and work towards getting rid of prejudice that many lgb persons still plaguing their lives. Although many Americans hold the belief that the legalization of same sex marriage results in lgb individuals no longer struggling for equality, the people of America must recognize the bigotry and discrimination that lgb individuals continue to suffer and how religious extremists and extremist organizations often promote such inequality and prevent lgb individuals from obtaining the rights and respect in today’s society that they are deserving of, and then put forth the effort to be rid of discrimination and prejudice towards individuals based on sexuality. In order to create a better society it is imperative that we allow religious freedom but do not use religious freedom to excuse harmful discrimination against minorities, specifically the lgb community. By making continued efforts to rid our society of prejudice, we gain creating a more moral and beneficial society.
