Gay Marriages

Legalization of Gay Marriages

Gay marriages should be legal. First, if a privilege is extended to one group of individuals, that privilege should be extended to all. Second, gay marriages will not poison heterosexual marriages-- as many believe. Third, gay marriages should be legal because some religions in the U.S allow it. First, if the privilege of marriage given by the state to one group of individuals, this privilege should be extended to all . The U.S government has always given benefits to marries people: married individuals get tax benefits and often benefit of this have more that one income in the home. Clearly, it is unfair for one group of people to get a privilege that others do not. Following the governments example, many companies or employers five certain benefits to spouses of employees: since the government discriminates so do the companies.

Secondly, gay marriages do not poison heterosexual marriages as some believe. One might say that it defiles the sanctity of marriage, but what is marriage but a means of expressing ones love through a publicly acknowledge life long commitment. Gay marriages generally last longer than most heterosexual relationships. If a the feelings of a heterosexual relationship can be changed because of a homosexual marriage, then that relationship has already failed.

Finally, some religions in the U.S allow gay marriages and why should religion have to effect everyway a person decide to live their lives. The religions that are against gay marriages are most Christianity, Islam, as well as a few others but religious beliefs have no say in the law. It has always been implied that freedom of religion implies the right to be free from religion as well. The Bible has absolutely no standing in American law, as was made clear by the First Amendment. Not all world religions have a problem with homosexuality; many sects of Buddhism, for example, celebrate gay relationships
