"1ENGL 1117-54Should gay marriages be made legal?The human society, since time immemorial has been making certain protocols for livingin the society. It is much like an authoritarian benevolent parent who makes certain fixation anddoes not allow a child to make each and every decision independently. However any form ofPatriarchal tyranny is not tolerated for too long and that again is another part of the humaninstinct ("10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized. - Infogram, Charts &Infographics").The legalization issue of Gay Marriages is one of those issues that were hushedby the society for too long and has finally surfaced breaking the shackles that had tied back thehomosexuals for ages. In a free society, we have the choices to eat the food we desire, decide the dresses that wewear and the friends that we make. But the moment sexual orientation comes up, the societyseems to appear with its whining stick and to teach a child who is diverting from the“mainstream” concepts to get back to what the Social institution calls „normal? (Farrell, Ian P.and Nancy Leong). The one who diverts from the mainstream is isolated by the rest of thesociety and in this case, in certain developing nations, are punished by the elders for theirdifference in choices either legally or illegally. The point if simplified stands to be that if onechooses to have pasta sitting in a Chinese Restaurant, he or she is simply considered to be crazyand is pardoned. But the moment a person living in a society most are or pretend to beheterosexual, tries to express his identity as a homosexual, he is considered to be a divergent andis isolated by the rest of the society("10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized. -Infogram, Charts & Infographics"). If choosing one?s favorite food, favorite attire, or favorite 2color is a subject to freedom then selecting one?s favorite gender and desiring the same cannot beconsidered unethical. The perspectives against Gay marriage are several and definitely more popular ascompared to the ones in favor of them as it are not an orientation that majority of the society canor does follow. However the few logics working in favor of Gay marriages are constructive andstrong enough. Firstly gay marriages are a great way to put a ban on the increasing number ofdivorces in America that issue out of impotence and infertility ("10 Reasons Why Gay MarriageShould Be Legalized. - Infogram, Charts &Infographics"). About half of the married populationof America gets divorced in the very first few years of their marriage owing to these grounds.Compared to several other developed nations of the world the population of America is mostvulnerable to divorces (Farrell, Ian P. and Nancy Leong). Once homosexual marriages areallowed the rates of marriages will certainly increase and at the same time the divorces owing tofactors like impotence and infidelity will greatly decrease and the scenario will definitely get lessradical than how it is right now.Gay marriages can hardly impact the heterosexual marriages in any way that is negative.A freedom of choice will lead to the closure of the marriages that occur out of false pretensions(Roleff, Tamara L). Rather this marriage can greatly serve the minority community of thehomosexuals better and allow them to stand by their choices in a way that is legal and at thesame time moral.The religion portrays Homosexuality as a sin. The basis of this can be that union on thegrounds of intercourse One of the major reasons that gay marriage is currently illegal is due tothe religious interpretation that " homosexual are sinners." In the grounds of Federal law these 3issues can never find a logical basis or secular grounds("10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage ShouldBe Legalized. - Infogram, Charts &Infographics"). Going by legislation straight marriages areequally a subject of desire as is homosexual marriages. Thus the grounds of sin are irrational.According to the Ten Commandments neither the matrimonial bonds between a man and awoman or between two people of the same gender is legal. Still if the federal law can allow themarriage between two people of different sexes according to the manmade constitution thenthere should n either be any issue regarding the nuptial bonds between two people of the samesex. On the other hand same sex marriage has no obligations or contradiction with religion andshall have no dark effects on particular person?s religious beliefs. Thus religious discriminationbetween a heterosexual or a homosexual bondage is not secular enough.If we refer to history we shall find out that in the late 1950s marriage between differentraces was considered unethical and at the same time even illegal. A few years behind that wasevidence to the fact that marriage between different social classes was considered to be a crime.But with the proceedings of the civilization we have eradicated such prohibitions and movedforward in order to advance ("10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized. - Infogram,Charts & Infographics"). Similarly the present generation has finally started to voice vehementprotests against all objections that stop people of the same gender to be with each other as soulmates. Desiring to be with a person irrespective of his or her social class, racial standing andgender is no crime and that is the reason that a huge group of heterosexual population have alsostarted to support this movement in favor of Gay marriages. It is a part, precisely a fundamentalpart of individual freedom.In the city of New York, in our nation a huge number of homosexual lovers have alreadybeen bond in the matrimonial rituals. Irrespective of this fact in a recent research several couples 4from this population have poled to the fat that the social protection that they receive is not half ofwhat the heterosexual couples receive from the city?s social system.More importantly the socialacceptance of their bondage and the reception among the neighbors is drastically different in thecase of heterosexual and homosexual couples ("10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should BeLegalized. - Infogram, Charts &Infographics").However, that has hardly stopped these peoplefrom being with the person they love. Thus this should be an example to the other nations andsocieties who prohibit gay marriages that under democratic or republican freedom homosexualcouples are already living together under the same roof. Thus legalizing their bonds would onlylead to a better and harmonious society. A very important aspect towards legalizing gay marriages is the fact that simplylegalizing their unions is definitely not the answer. As mentioned above there has been severalinstances where even in countries where gay marriages are legalized the homosexual coupleshave faced terrible consequences for being together. The protection that they receive from thesociety or from law after their marriage is not the same as received by the couples belonging tothe “main stream”. On the other hand, the medical facilities that are received by the straight couples are notmuch similar to the scenes that a homosexual couple goes through when they decide to goagainst the society, get married and then for some unfortunate reason fall sick("10 Reasons WhyGay Marriage Should Be Legalized. - Infogram, Charts &Infographics"). Eminently thus thenecessary rights on the general medical, financial and social domain are not usually allowed tothese homosexual couples.5A major reason that has led to the increasing numbers of suicide in the middle school isthe fact that the moment the children who have homosexual traits in their character reachadolescence are apparently behaving likewise and the other children start bullying these childrenfor their different identities (Myers, Wade C. and HengChoon Oliver Chan). As a result thisgreatly affects their social esteem. They feel alienated and become a subject of ridicule amongthose friends who were till then great friends. In most of the cases these children cannot evencommunicate their issues with their teachers as well as their parents. In the lack of any mentalsupport they become monsters in their own eyes and tend to commit suicide in order to escapetheir plights (Myers, Wade C. and HengChoon Oliver Chan). In certain under developed nationsthese suicides tend to please the parents as they feel liberated from the social pressure that theywould have had to face incase their child was alive with his or her homosexual nature("10Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized. - Infogram, Charts &Infographics").In sucha scenario legalizing gay marriages and more importantly spreading education about the fact thathomosexuality is natural and not a crime will lead these parents to accept their children as theyare and not force them to change according to the social needs and suppress their true natures. The Bible does not encourage Gay Marriages. And that in itself isa great reason for theanti-supporters of Gay Marriageto go against the homosexuals. However, if secularly thoughtwe shall realize that any religion is not against nuptial bonds but against lust that leads to furthercomplications. Lust, as a sin, can occur in case of straight relationship or homosexualrelationships. Thus on this ground homosexual marriages and heterosexual marriages are bothsupposed to be equally legalized as they are promises to stay with the soul mates irrespective oftheir genders through good and bad: and that too not for physical pleasures. 6Last and not the least the boomed up population also has a very convincing alternativethrough gay marriages. Adoption owing to incapability in reproducing will greatly increasegiving homeless children an answer to their brighter futures (Roleff, Tamara L). Some may arguethat will these children grow up to be absolutely normal and able individuals after dealing withtwo fathers or two mothers as parents("10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized. -Infogram, Charts &Infographics"). It is important to counter this point with the fact that same sexparenting is nothing unusual in scientific basis as long as the parents are sane and diligentlycaring enough towards providing a child with the appropriate ambience that he r she needs for acomplete mental and physical growth. Cases of abuse, torture and psychological issues are notuncommon even in the socially well accepted heterosexual parents thus a set of homosexualparents can definitely not be considered more vulnerable towards creating a chaos out of theirchild?s mind and growth.
