gay marriage

Traditionally, marriage is referred to man and woman but how about the marriage between man and man or woman and woman. In the U.S., if you ask people how you feel about homosexuality, nearly seventy percent of people will respond “Yes, gays should have the same rights as the normal couple such as, the equal protection of law.” However, few countries in the world have been legalized for gay marriage. It is prohibited by law and is still condemned by the public for many stereotypes. I admit it is hard to persuade everyone accepts gay marriage but my opinion is that gay should have their rights in deciding their mates.


People may claim that homosexuality is against the moral of marriage. “Bible shows that gay relationship is not permitted so I do not agree with it.” a typical disciple said. While it is true that you hold your religious freedom and believes the holy Bible, but this objection ignores what your own thought toward the issue. Sometimes, you should get out of the restrictions that religions impose on you so that you could hear your inner voice. Many people, before they believes in religions, might not against gay marriage but after they become Christian, the agreement toward gay relationship totally disappear because they do not want to violate the rules. However, the meaning of freedom in religion also implies not losing your freedom in religion. Religion is a form to give you peace rather than take out of your right to think.


People might accept that gay marriage might be legalized but they are worried about the wild spread of homosexuality in public and school. Surely, I cannot disagree with the fact that in public and school, there might suddenly appear many homosexuality but why don’t you look on the positive side that the benefits of gay marriage might solve current social problems. It is because gay marriages have been legalized in Denmark since 1989 that have changed people’s bias. They begin to reconsider that the law might beneficial to our society including the reduction in the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. AIDS is rising steadily in Asia. As of July 2003, India's HIV-positive people numbered about 4.6 million, roughly 0.9% of the working adult population. In China the number was roughly from 1 million to 1.5 million. However, Hugo Mialon and Andrew Francis, Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, used thirty years of data to reduce rates of HIV/AIDS infection to attitudes of tolerance towards lesbian and gay Americans. They found that “Bans on gay marriage [cause] more gay people to shift to sexual behaviors that carry more risk.” It is important that gay marriage would more or less decrease the rate of AIDS so long as it is legalized in more countries.


People might claim that base on their religious freedom, they are against but in doing this, you do not really gain freedom in religion because you lose out of yourself. Also, people are afraid of the wild spread of same-sex couple but don’t you scare of the rising of AIDS around the world? Gay marriage might not be so horror as you have imagined. Perhaps, you should give them the same equality because they also need respect from others as married couples.
