Same-Sex Marriage Legalization

"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.

What is the definition of marriage? The dictionary states it as being the legal union between a man and a woman as husband and wife. However, times are changing as the gay life style becomes more accepted by society it is time to allow all couples regardless of sex to enjoy equal protections, rights and benefits under the law. Perhaps, it makes the most sense to consider arguments against same sex marriage to realize why it should be legalized; these arguments touch upon a broad array of issues including: parenting, religion and morality, procreation, rights and benefits, and values and institute of marriage.

“I think the best day will be when we no longer talk about being gay or straight… It’s not a gay wedding, it’s just a wedding… it’s not a gay marriage it’s just a marriage.”(Pink). Gay marriage is a right that should be open to anyone in any state. The constitution does not state that same-sex marriage is unethical. Many people see gay marriage as something that is unlawful when in reality gay marriage just the same as opposite-sex marriage. Same-sex couples should be able to be married because they deserve equal rights, and they are also great parents and legalizing gay marriage would help reduce gay teen suicide.

Imagine a world where heterosexuals are the minority. Straight people would be the ones fighting for the same rights as homosexuals. Same-sex marriages would be average and normal, while straight marriages would be frowned upon and considered unholy in the eyes of religion. Heterosexuals would be denied service at restaurants because of their sexuality, they would be called derogatory names while holding their partner’s hand and most importantly, they would be denied the right to marry the one that they love. Does that not sound wrong? Now imagine living that life every day; that is how homosexual individuals lived with gay marriage bans. Even though it was a small step for

According to a Pew Poll, most religious communities believe same-sex marriage and even homosexuality in general are morally wrong and do not follow their religious beliefs (Waldman, 2003). There is no major religion in the world that has ever altered the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples (Barlow, 2003). In general, it can be said that many religious people have strong views on same-sex marriage, declaring it wrong because of their religious beliefs.

Legalization of same sex marriage in the USA and abroad is and will always remain a disgrace and an abomination to God’s word. Same sex marriage is identified as two of the same sex coming together in matrimony with the same legal representation that a couple of the opposite sex would have. Before the Supreme Court Ruling in 2015, 39 of the 50 states of the United States of America were already supporting and legally allowing same sex marriages. Although many may have their own preconception of what marriage is the bible tells us that marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman and not that of a man and a man, or a woman and a woman. (Leviticus 20:13) says “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them."

Gay marriages have received criticism from all sectors of the society. Most people have alienated all facts that relate to this issue and acknowledged the gloom and doom that may be associated with it. The United States ranks top of the most mature democracies, and not even its occupants have managed to establish a consensus regarding the issue of gay relationships. Many researchers have worked together towards deciphering the facts and logistics that revolve around the controversial issue. The outcomes of these endeavors have indicated that these relationships may have more positive effects and influence in the society as opposed to the negative aspects that most people recognize. According to America Institute of psychology, the society needs to stop prejudice, and only then will the people appreciate and understand the importance of establishing and supporting gay marriages across the country (Wight, LeBlanc, & Lee Badgett, 2013). Humans have a right to hold varying opinions regarding prevailing issues in the society, but it has become clear that most of their sentiments have taken a wrong course regarding the issue of gay marriages. The positivity of these relationships to the society outplays the general notion of doom and gloom that most people associate with gay marriages.

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)

Have you ever seen something in society that just angers you and you wish it would change? Well I have, and it is the ban on same sex marriage. Homosexuals should be able to get married. I believe this because the main opposition of this are hypocrites, there are actions that are worse than same sex marriage that are legal, and there is nothing wrong with it.

own. Those are just two options that people have the choice to believe, it’s all up to them.

According to the church, marriage was established in Eden by God to be a lifelong union between a woman and a man in a caring companionship. To the church, same-sex marriage is a sin that has perverted the idea of God about marriage and family. Most priests and clergymen believe that same-sex marriage is a manifestation of brokenness and disorder in the human relation and inclination as a result of sin. While all human beings are subject to the fallen nature of humans, the church believes that through the grace of God people live in harmony with the world. To the church, same-sex marriage is disgusting and unnatural. Same-sex marriage is equally unnatural. While the satisfaction and pleasure may be the same as heterosexual sex, it is definitely the way the human body was designed to have sexual intercourse. For example, most people argue that the fact that same-sex lesbian couples use dildos and vibrators to pleasure themselves is proof enough that sex was meant for a man and a woman. The same way, anal sex in gay couple is a proof that sex was designed

In this paper, I argue against the prohibition of same-sex marriage. To begin, the prohibition is a violation of personal freedom. We should respect the freedom each human has to choose who they want to love and who they want to spend their lives with; why should it be somebody else’s decision when is a personal life. Furthermore, it is important to understand that we are unique and have different thoughts, beliefs, religion, culture, sexual orientation and much more aspects that may be different to ours, but at the end, is that what makes the world fascinating. Conclusively, the

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.

Same-Sex marriage has been a button issue has tied to United States feelings on homosexuality. The family institutional structure in the United States is to be natural to have the heterosexual marriage and when they become parents, they will repopulate with heterosexual children and so on for generations to come.  History of same-sex marriage goes back to. Men marrying each other goes back to the 16th century in the gulf coast(Washingtonpost.com,2015) and the 18th century when the term the “female husband” who  married to another woman.

At the beginning of President Barak Obama’s presidential career, he believed that marriage was to be between a man and a woman. His views have become consistently more supportive of same-sex marriage over time. Putting him at odds with many social conservatives, he is currently in full support of same-sex marriage. This complete reversal of President Obama’s views symbolizes the general social shift of same-sex marriage views in today’s society. The legalization of same-sex marriage has been a raging battle of concern since the late twentieth century, but has become a prominent subject in today’s society. While many are still in disagreement with the legalization of same-sex marriage, there has been an evident rise of the same-sex marriage supporters within the last couple of years. The Human Right’s Campaign generated what may be considered a major reason for this rise in support. The red sea of equal signs that spread through Facebook in 2013 was more than just a Facebook meme; the red equal sign was brought about in solidarity of gay marriage; this equal sign was a form of symbolic politics. Beginning in March of 2013, over 10 million members of Facebook began changing their profile picture to this meme to show their individual support. President Obama was able to “mobilize his fans” through the internet to receive information, similarly, the Human Rights Campaign was able to mobilize their supporters to show their support of same-sex marriage from anywhere (Antoci).
