For stance, the bible, gay marriag are not nsired to be the right way to people all over the world are still que relig and take the words of the bible and other scriptur que, those regns, allowg gay marriag may be que problematic sce many people would simply not tolerate this ncept om a relig marriag may also not be le wh historil cultural valu. In fact, gay marriage was never allowed the history of mankd and opponents of self-sex marriag often claim that we should therefore not allow cultur have not tolerated gay marriag for thoands of years, might make no sense to tolerate those social nstcts our current though the level of tolerance towards mori and also to self-sex marriag has creased que a lot over the past years some regns, there are still untri where the level of tolerance regardg gay marriage is still que low. Another problem of gay marriage is that the human populatn may drop signifintly over the actn of gay upl be too high, chanc are that fewer children will be though this uld be beneficial for our environment to a certa extent, uld also lead to ser problems if we don’t have sufficient children that are borne.

Although we often claim that our society is que tolerant towards mori, the oppose is te for many untri all over the fact, everyone that viat om the mastream social norms and cultural valu is nsired to be dodgy many, also the overall tolerance towards gay upl is still rather limed many untri and therefore, gay upl will have to wa que a while until they will be allowed to marry, pecially more nservative parts of our marriag may also simply be agast nature.

Th, many people also claim that marriag of people of the same sex are agast nature and should be prohibed due to marriag are also a difficult topic om a tradnal are often que sensive regardg chang our society sce they fear that their tradnal valu and beliefs bee erod over, many people also do not want to accept gay marriag as part of their society sce they fear to lose their historic tradnal valu. Opponents of gay marriage also often have moral their opn, only the partnership between man and woman is an acceptable one while all other forms of partnerships should be nsired to be dodgy and not wele at, pecially regns where this thought procs is wispread, gay upl will have a que hard time and may be discrimated var parts of their studi have shown that children who grew up a hoehold wh a mother and a father have the bt chanc , also this regard, may seem qutnable whether gay marriag should be children suffer om gay marriag, may not make sense to allow this social nstct our people also fear that by allowg gay marriag, many other cultural valu may bee erod over time as people don’t like change at all and try to stick to their cultural attus que a people often stggle to accept new thgs sce they fear that their world view may be exposed as flawed and, orr to protect their cultural valu on which they have relied on their whole liv, those people may also not accept gay who are agast the ncept of gay marriage often also claim that marriage should be directly lked to gay upl will not be able to produce children, they should also not be allowed to though the ncept of gay marriage had been discsed many untri all over the world, is still not be accepted many of those untri, both om a social as well as om a legal, there will be a que long way to go until gay upl will get the opportuny to marry those untri. Instead of prohibg gay marriag, some people even claim that we should abandon the ncept of marriage their opn, marriage n be nsired to be a rather outdated social nstct, which do not make too much sense fact, this is que an tertg ia which should be discsed much more our abandong all sorts of marriage, we uld also abandon many social stigmas and uld give people a higher level of eedom regardg how they want to live their om a fancial perspective, the ncept of allowg same-sex marriag n be nsired to be rather qutnable.
