Then the issue of the lega
2、lization of same-sex marriage has appeared.Because of different culture, the easterners hold different values and ethics from the westerners. Thus, they have different attitudes toward whether homosexual marriage should be legalized. Most of the westerners can understand and accept the homosexuality
3、, some of them even approve. On the contrary, most of the easterners cant accept it. Some even detest the gays or lesbians. At present, many countries have legalized the same-sex marriage but none of them is eastern country. And from my point of view, homosexual marriage should be legalized. The rea
4、sons are as follows.There is no right or wrong in sexual orientation. Someone prefers red rather than green while someone have opposite opinion. How can we say that, the people who like red are right and the others are wrong? So does the sexual orientation. Usually people fall in love with the oppos
5、ite sex. Therefore, we consider the homosexuals are unusual. However, it doesnt mean that they are wrong. The gays and lesbians just make a different choice from us following their hearts and they should not be blamed or regarded as aliens. Its a personal right to choose a homosexual marriage. Marri
6、age is a birthright of people and a union of two lovers . We all have the freedom to choose the life style that we desire and decide whom we are going to share the rest of our life. All men are created equal so everyone enjoys the right to pursue happiness as long as he doesnt infringe the rights of
7、 others. Therefore, why cant the homosexuals marry their lovers? Actually, they dont ruin any rights of others. Its unfair for the homosexuals that only the heterosexuals can be married. Some peopled worry about that if homosexual marriage is legalized, the number of homosexuals will surge. In fact,
8、 up to now there is still no date showing the legalization increases the number of homosexuals. Its just similar to that the cases of murder actually will not surge, if the capital punishment is canceled. At present there are already 12 countries and areas have homosexual marriage legal, including B
9、elgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Denmark, Finland, England, some states in the USA and so on. Everything goes well in these countries and areas after the law was introduced. To sum up, the legalization of homosexual marriage is not a single and simple issue for one country. The society is changing and developing,so the law should keep pace with it. Reference: Debra L.
