This is a subject where different people have different mixed opinions on it, and most people do not even know what to think of the subject. In this modern world where there is always a campaign for equality, and the question remains, “Why can’t same sex couples get married”? That’s their personal choice and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it, and many well-known people support it as well. Did you know that the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, who is a heterosexual donated about $100,000 to a gay rights group offering support? When there is such influential backing it can help if the minds of few people can be changed by seeing things in a positive light. When equality and diversity is so important to people today it’s only fair that everyone should be treated equally and have the right to marry whoever they want. There are three basic human rights which support gay marriage. The first right being “The right to love” – This means everyone should have the right to love irrespective of it being a man or woman. The second human right states that “The right to express his or her sexual orientation” – This means if you want to love someone of the same sex then you most definitely can. The third human right states that - “The right to express oneself” - So basically if you combine these three rights, everyone should have the right to love a man or a woman and what better way to express one’s love than by getting married to the one you truly love. People have been getting married for years now and as the society develops so should the laws. Countries like the Netherlands, Spain, Canada and more all have legalized same sex marriage. The fact that other countries can legalize same sex marriage means that they recognize that the society has changed. The only reason that most countries will not legalize same sex marriage is because of the countries heritage and religion. The country needs to move with the modern times like other countries have as it is considered discrimination by not allowing same sex marriage. This is, as mentioned before, they are taking away the basic human rights that we all should have. It is definitely wrong to discriminate against anyone which is why racism laws and sexism laws were introduced. By allowing same sex marriage they can allow people to go about their business and be happy knowing they are treated equal, no matter of their sexual orientation. Gay people deserve happiness just as much as straight people, and happiness derives from the love and devotion that comes from marriage. While it's true that many gay people are happy with the arrangement they currently have. They have two incomes, successful careers, and if they don't have children they have more disposable income, but they commonly still feel like something is missing. The reality is that homosexuality is actually multidimensional, and altogether, more to do with love and closeness than it is about sex. This really is what all gay relationships and gay marriages survives on; mutual attraction, love, and affection. Sex can surely often be a method of showing that affection, the same as it can be for heterosexuals.
