Same sex right to marriage

Homosexuality has existed since the era of time. According to the Greek mythology one of the most known stories of same sex relationship is the love story of Achilles and Patroclus. http://www.gay-art-history.org/gay-history/gay-literature/gay-mythology-folktales/homosexual-greek-mythology/achilles-gay/achilles-patroclus-gay.html Gay relationships have been a taboofor a long time, but now days we see this type of relationships more often and accepted in our society. Now same sex couples best known as gay couples want more rights in society. One of the rights that have caused controversy now is that they want the rights to get married like a normal heterosexual couple do. These has caused a lot of controversy since even though it’s not a taboo like on theold days, it’s a new change and sometimes difficult to accept.
Gay couples what the rights of marriage for a lot of reasons but these are most legal, political, social and religious reasons. Gay marriage apogee as their primary goal to make a lifetime commitment to the person they love and to protect their families. We that live on a democratic form of government witch primary states the right to“elect government through free and fair elections, freedom of speech, the rule of law, human rights, freedom of assembly and freedom from discrimination” http://www.knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Democratic_government/ have in our hands the power to change and make the people realize what gays are fighting for. Statistics made in July 2012 by the Pew Research Center states about changingattitudes on gay marriage that: “Support for same-sex marriage has risen among both men and women in recent years. Today, 51% of women and 43% of men support same-sex marriage.” And also that” This is due in part to generational change. Younger generations express higher levels of support for same-sex marriage. In 2012 Pew Research Center polling, Millennials are almost twice as likely as the SilentGeneration to support same-sex marriage”. http://features.pewforum.org/same-sex-marriage-attitudes/slide2.php
A few days ago I saw on a cyber-newspaper that the co-founder of Facebook, Chris Hughes who is gay got married with his boyfriend Sean Earlier. What got my attention on this article was to see that “Facebook unveiled some new Timeline icons for marriage events that featured two males and twofemale spouses. This move was obviously made in solidarity with the LGBT community, a group that Facebook has supported for many years. Just last year, Facebook granted gay and lesbian couple the chance to be “in a civil union” or “in a domestic partnership” on the site.” It’s common to see how our generation is changing so quickly even on social media and that people are more opened minded abouthow relationships can be http://www.webpronews.com/chris-hughes-co-founder-of-facebook-weds-boyfriend-2012-07 This made me realize that gay people should have the same rights to get married since they are human beings like everybody else.

Gay marriage should be allowed in our society because it’s against the constitution to discriminate against a specific group of people. One of the thingsthat go against gay marriage in our society it’s that breaks with the definition of “matrimony”. The definition of matrimony can change from cultures but it is usually defined as “The legal union of a man and woman as husband and wife” http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Marriage . Before you can get married on church you need a civil statement of matrimony and this is what gay’s couple wants. Theyknow that almost every religion do not accept same sex unions, but they don’t want to get married in church they want a civil marriage which consists in “non-religious wedding ceremonies” http://www.ehow.com/facts_7638910_civil-marriage-ceremony.html .
