The Possibility Of Same Sex Married Life

By Cathy Mercer


Same sex married life has a lot of benefits ever since gay marriages have been accepted in some states. A lot of cultures have been open to gay people even before activists protested in America. In some countries, gayness is very much part of the culture and has never been an issue with the society. However, a lot of states still oppose this right to the gay citizens in their area.

There are two sides to gay marriage since a lot of people still oppose this notion. However, there are certain reasons why it should be promoted as legal all around the world. For one, every single person has the right to be with anyone that they love, and to be with them if they should desire it. It is not an illegal act to express love and commitment to your beloved, so it shouldn't hold any problem for gay marriages either.

A lot of benefits can be guaranteed with heterosexual couples, all of these benefits of health care and insurance should also be applied to homosexual couples. With the fact that in some states, homosexual couples can not be married, the state takes from them the right to access these benefits as a couple. Things such as hospital visitation hours and inheritance rights are also not granted to gay couples.

It is very well known that the values of a certain society changes with its people. This logic therefore applies to the institution of marriage. Over the years, the society's understanding of marriage has evolved and widened that it has accommodated a lot of definitions to it. Sooner or later, everyone will be accepting gay marriages as well.

If gays and lesbians are denied of the right to marry the ones they love, they are somehow put in an inferior category because they are the minority. Denying them of this right only means that they do not deserve this right, but there is no quantifiable reason for them not to marry their partner. Everyone should be entitled to marrying the partner that they desire to marry.

If gay couples were allowed to marry, they would also have a much easier time adopting children who are in need of a loving home. This has been a long standing issue to many states where gay couples are not allowed to marry. Gay couples are fully capable of taking care of young kids and the sex orientation of a person does not determine if he or she will be a good parent or not.

Being able to commit to a long term relationship with someone adds to a person's long term life satisfaction and happiness. If gay couples are not allowed to celebrate their commitment to each other, this increases their chances of experiencing depression and withdrawals. Marriage provides happiness and stability to people, and gay people should be able to have this kind of satisfaction as well.

Same sex married life should not pose as a problem to anyone. If you do not believe in this notion, it is no grounds for the state to prevent these people that do believe in the institution of gay marriage. A person's capability to love and be good citizens does not and will never depend on merely their sexual orientation.
