The Debate over same sex marriage has been going on for years now. But why? Why do people want to go through all of this trouble just to marry someone of the same sex? We live in a free country so you can date and do whatever with whoever you choose. So how could putting a label on it change anything? But yet again marriage is a big deal. It has been extremely easy for couple of opposite sex to marry each other and extremely difficult to marry someone of the same sex. This is because the states are regulating and denying the marriage. But the states do it for a good reason. Mostly because they marry for the benefits. When everything is fine now why would we change things?
Most couples that get married want to start a family, and it is hard for someone of the same sex to do that. But more than that it is hard for the child to grow up with two moms or two dads. The kids get teased at school and live a different life at home. This is just a faze the country is going through but once it is over and gay marriage is not allowed then they will get over it and live the life they have always done for years.
I like how you included the governments role and i think you should talk more about how many people, a lot of straight couples, are corrupting the institution of marriage for benefits and they are doing it less because of love and more for insurance, benefits, and not to get deported. This is sad because there are gay couples that really do love each other and they can't get married because of their orientations, even though they have real feelings for each other. It's like straight couples can get away with anything.
ReplyDeleteNaomi,
ReplyDeleteYour observations seem far too vague and generalized here--is everything "fine" now? (if so, why is this issue even debated?), if being gay is generally acceptable, then why are kids from same-sex households teased? (and how is their upbringing specifically different)? You need to get closer to the specific realities of the issues and draw more directly on the sources.
