For as long as the commitment of marriage has been around, has also the belief that it represents the union of one man and one woman. Now gay men and lesbians are challenging that commitment. They belive that their relationships mean the same as heterosexual marriages. Homosexual would like to see their marriages legalized.
Gay marriages are highly emotionaltopics in the 20s. Many people feel That gay marriages would show heterosexual people how much two people can love each other even if they are of the same sex. Homosexual relationships are more than just sex with someone of the same gender. Homosexual relationships include feelings and being able to share those feelings with the person you love. “People have become used to the idea of defining gay people solely in terms of sexual acts,” says Gregory Herek, a research psychologist at the University of California, Davis. I think many heterosexual get very nervous when they have to think of gay people in terms of relationships, because its changing the way they have always thought about gay people. I find it interesting that the same people who condemn homosexuality as being a promiscuous lifestyle also say they’re against gay marriage because they wouldn’t want to recognize stable gay relationships. But I think that if two people love each other, they should be able to get married even if they are of the same sex.
I feel that marriages between gays or lesbians should be given the same status as heterosexual marriages. Although heterosexual people think that gay people should not be thinking they can broaden the institution of marriage to include themselves. I say they should be able to do it. Even if the institution of marriage is recognized be the church and homosexuality don’t. Some religious leaders are the most forceful advocates of same-sex marriage. I remember that one time when I was in a reunion I heard someone saying that in Hawaii alone, many faiths such as the reform and reconstructionist branches of Judaism, Quaker, Buddhist, Episcopal and many individual protestant congregations are involved in the pro-marriage campaign. But now I think that on the opposite side of the coin there are many faiths that condemn gay marriage. They feel that these people defy the Bible.
I feel that gay people have given a reason that carries enough weight for the government to legalize same-sex marriage. Gay people should fight for the right to marry. Gay couples should be afforded the same benefits as heterosexual couples.
