Gay marriage is something that is slowly making it’s way into every community. At first, the thought of gay marriage was completely out of the question due to religious beliefs, but now we are seeing more of it due to government intervention. Arguments over gay marriage cover basically every topic you can think of, and many of them being based on religious ideas. When people begin to debate on this proposition it is quite easy to be bias because the people who are having an opinion on it are not always homosexual. Therefore, we must look at exactly why people should be able to be legally united, and do this without any form of racism or bigotry.

For every argument against gay marriage there seems to be a rebuttal that is quite logical. The first argument which goes against gay marriage is the fact that they cannot procreate, therefore have no reason to be married.

At the same time, we do not allow gay marriage which means that people who have been living together in a relationship for say 20 years are not allowed to be married and enjoy the financial benefits of marriage due to their sexual orientation. Another financial drawback that seems to be somewhat unfair is the ability to the ability of a gay person to claim their partner’s child on their taxes. Even though this child might have been raised and provided for by this other parental figure, they are not allowed to show anything for it because they were never married, once again because gay marriage is not legal in most places.
