GAY MARRIAGE: PROS, CONS, AND WHERE BOTH PARTI STAND
The issue on same-sex marriage or gay marriage has been a ntroversial topic for so many years now, wh several untri worldwi have ma legal while others still are firm on their stand to ban . Gay marriage is a unn or marriage between two people of the same sex through a civil ceremony or church. Although was not acknowledged legally for s and some even nsired a taboo, some untri have broaned their perspective and take on this ntent issue. Some of the untri that have legalized same-sex marriage are the Netherlands, Argenta, France, Spa, the Uned Kgdom, Brazil and jt years ago, the Uned Stat. Sce June 2, 2015, same-sex marriage has bee legal natnwi. The LGBT muny nsirs this a feat but for them, the battle isn't over yet. Dpe this achievement, not everybody disagre and have their views on the issue. List of Advantag of Gay Marriage 1. Legal Rights Protectn One of the most eful advantag of legalizg marriage is the protectn giv the uple when to health re, fanc and tax. Before, two people who are habatg and a homosexual relatnship livg as upl are not given the secury of protectg what both have them earned and saved together. If a partner di, the survivg lover do not have the right to the property unr the name of the ceased even if both of them have paid for the property. Wh the legalizatn of gay marriage, they are now nsired by the state they live as legally married so they now n enjoy tax breaks given to heterosexual married upl and are entled to bee heirs to their spo. This also clus signg documents together as a uple and open jot acunts and purchase properti together. 2. Lsens Stigma Legalizg gay marriage also migated the discrimatn and stigma on homosexuals bee makg the unn or marriage legal giv gay upl the affirmatn that they are accepted not only by society but also the state. For so many years, there have been stori about discrimatn of homosexuals as well as crime mted agast them. Today, no one n be ostracized and discrimated the workplace or be nied om marryg his or her partner bee of sexual orientatn. 3. Giv Right to Start a Fay There have been lbian and gay upl who want to start a fay and have their own children. Before, this was not allowed and looked at negatively by society. If ever one partner already has children, the other partner do not have the right to be an adoptive parent or if ever, they procs do not work on their favor and tak years to be pleted. Wh the legalizatn, gay upl n now adopt children jt as straight upl n. They n even have children of their own through vro fertilizatn or by gettg surrogate mothers or sperm donors. 4. Giv Equal Laws Homosexual relatnships are also the same wh heterosexual relatnships when to the mistak or ab that n happen between two people. However, unlike straight married upl who n file for adultery, divorce and fily, gay upl were not given the same purview of the law before. Wh gay marriage, married homosexuals n now file for divorce and sue their partners wh adultery or fily. Also, se of divorce, the other one n receive alimony and their children will be given child support. List of Disadvantag of Gay Marriage 1. Affects Child Development Even if gay parents are allowed to adopt or have children, havg two parents of the same sex might not be healthy or what's bt for the children volved. The kids need both a father and a mother image to have a balance and normal childhood. Genr rol n be hard to play pecially if blogil and physil aspects are the issue. If a boy grows up wh two women, wh the other one playg the role of the father or both plays the role of mothers, father image will be lackg and the uple nnot answer qutns typilly asked by boys to fathers, say, the physil chang the body. Same go for girls livg wh two-male parents. 2. Burns the Divorce System Another disadvantage of allowg gay people to marry is the fact that when thgs don't work out and they file for divorce, they will add to the number of s pendg urt and the burn put on the legal system terms of urt proceedgs for divorce, alimony and child support will be doubled while the problems would have been lsened if gay marriage were not legalized. 3. Prone to Bullyg Even if gay marriage is already legalized, not all accept and embrace this practice, particularly kids. Opponents of gay marriage claim that makg this marriage between homosexuals legal n brg problems the future pecially when children are volved. Children of homosexuals and lbians may be prone to bullyg at schools and some even end up beg physilly hurt by other kids. 4. Possibily of Tax Increase Wh the tax benefs to be given to survivg legal partners, this n be add expense for the ernment. Some people are thkg that wh the legalizatn of same-sex marriage and the crease tax benefs, the ernment will be prompted to raise tax orr to afford the add expens. 5. Affects Adoptn Procs By allowg married gay upl to legally adopt children and given that they might fd difficult and expensive to have children of their own, there will be an crease the number of child adoptn applitns. This might lead to more straight upl who are also terted to adopt not beg given prry sce they have bigger chanc to have their own children. Dpe the legalizatn of gay marriage, this topic will rema to be a ntent issue pecially that not all n accept and will accept the ia of two people wh the same genr to be married a relig ceremony. * cons of gay marriage *

9 ADVANTAG AND DISADVANTAG OF GAY MARRIAGE
However, our nowadays society, there is far ls need for addnal children and same-sex marriage and therefore, the historil reasons why gay marriag had been prohibed the past may be missg our current long as gay upl are not allowed to marry, they will also not get the same benefs as married upl wh different sex. However, this n be nsired to be que unfair sce all marriag should be treated as equally important, which also impli that the benefs for all sorts of upl should be siar or even, allowg gay marriag n also help to improve the accs to benefs for gay general, we often claim to be so tolerant our society while fact, many people are not tolerant at are still many mori that are discrimated agast due to their race, genr and other herent should be handipped due to those herent characteristics and therefore, gay marriag are another step towards a more tolerant, morn and open society that embrac a variety of different liftyl and same-sex marriag would have been unthkable jt a few centuri ago, our cultural valu changed que a fact, people our nowadays society often try new thgs, want to expand their knowledge and their experience and try to really figure out what they want to do wh their, gay marriage would give those people an addnal tool to change the cultural valu our society even further.
Allowg gay marriag would also greatly benef the overall health of gay fact, our current society, many people who have an tert the same sex have to hi their feelgs sce beg gay is still nsired to be tolerable by many people our n lead to ser emotnal nflicts, which may turn to severe mental issu the long n. However, by allowg gay marriag, the overall level of tolerance our society would likely crease, which would lead to a state where gay upl uld eely live their liftyle whout havg to worry to get physilly or mentally turn, chanc are that this would also greatly improve their overall health gay upl do no longer have to fear gettg attacked by other people, chanc are that also their overall strs levels will drop turn, the people uld enjoy their liv much more whout havg to worry about the opns of others too much anymore.
However, the state uld still allow gay marriag om a legal, relign and law uld be separated and gay marriag uld be allowed a non-relig many untri, there are nstutns place which state that everyone our society should have equal rights and should be able to make ee cisns for his or her life.
GAY MARRIAGE
However, if we allow gay marriag and also give those gay upl adoptn rights, more orphans uld be turn, the overall chanc of those orphans to succeed life uld be creased our current state of the world, the overall level of acceptance towards gay upl is still rather limed many regns of our pla. However, if we allow gay marriag those untri, chanc are that the overall acceptance society would crease and also the social stigma towards self-sex marriag uld be turn, also children who had been adopted by gay upl uld benef sce they would have an easier time school and life far as we know, we only have a sgle life and mak sense that we live our life to s fullt whenever we therefore mak sense to also allow gay marriag so that also gay people n do what they want life and are not rtricted by legal prohibn of gay marriag n also be nsired as a form of ser discrimatn.
