Freedom for every gay and lesbian


Nowadays, more and more people become a lesbian or gay. It is quite common in many countries. Are you a gay or lesbian? A lot of gay or lesbian rights advocates support that same –sex marriages should be allowed by law. Do you agree or disagree with that? Do you think that same –sex marriages means lesbian or gay get equal human rights? When I saw The New York Times, a headline named "Behind N.Y. Gay Marriage, an Unlikely Mix of Forces"caught my interested.

In “Behind N.Y. Gay Marriage, an Unlikely Mix of Forces”, the writers said that in the 35th-floor conference room of a Manhattan high-rise, two of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s most trusted advisers held a secret meeting a few weeks ago with a group of super-rich Republican donors. New York’s Democratic governor was determined to legalize same-sex marriage (SSM).

In my opinion, gay or lesbian should be allowed to marry in law. In the past, American adults refuted SSM, except in about ten states and the District of Columbia. Because of most Americans, marriage is a religious sacrament or ceremony. If the definition of marriage is changed to allow SSM, some religious individuals and groups feel that they will become at risk of having to infringe their beliefs by being forced to marry same-sex couples. However, the world is changed. More and more people realize that gay and lesbian should be allowed to get marriage. Marriage is hallowed, it conveys stateliness and respect towards a couple that make a lifetime commitment to support each other. It is not only a process of reproduction, but it also is a way that symbolizes a couple love each other, they want to live together. So, same –sex couples deserve this stateliness and respect. Moreover, getting marriage is one of kind human right. Everyone has right to marry the person who you love, no matter they are male or female. We should not forbid same-sex couples marriage. To sum up, gay or lesbian should be allowed to marry. You can disagree with them, but you should respect them.

    Legalization SSM is turned out socitey develops with time;however, homosexuality is rare around us in real life.On the one hand,people need time to accept something new.Afterall,Homosexuality reverse traditonal conception of gender function on reproduction.People would be shocked and unacceptabed that their childen are gay or lesbian.On the other hand,gay and lesbian should not be shy or shame to talk about their sexy trend.People would understand and bless them if they can talk about their relationship liberally or they would not alienate the normal people in order to keep homosexuality secret.
    In desperate housewives season 8, there are two guy living together who help people,enjoy community activities even to adop an orphan.They help and warm people.How lovly a gay family!

      Crystal, thanks for your comment.

      U also watch desperate housewives? Me too. I like those gay couple in desperate housewives.And I also agree with u that gay and lesbian should not be shy or shame to talk about their sex trend.Because more and more people support homosexuality now, I believe that SSM will be legalized in the future.

      Anyway, good luck to those people.
