How would you feel if you found your soul mate and you were ready to get married, then some one told you, you could not? I know how you would feel. You would feel horrible. That is exactly how homosexuals feel. Therefore homosexuals should be able to get married.
Being married would give homosexuals benefits that have been enjoyed by many heterosexuals. Some benefits include special legal consideration when determining inheritance (www.k-state.edu/kstateresearch), life insurance, tax breaks, preferential immigration treatments and succession rights. Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund say that benefits such as life and health insurances pension and profit sharing corresponds to 40% of a workers actual income.
Homosexuals do not only want to get married because of the benefits. “Marriage is a fusion of law and culture” (Wedgwood 165). Marriage is also a personal decision that should not be dictated by the gove
rnment. If love is paramount, why can everyone not get a chance to bind their love together if that what they want to do. It should not matter what their sexual preference is. Many leading democrats say homosexual couples can be granted with out having to declare that same sex unions are marriages. Same sex unions are a way that some homosexual couples have been able to publicly acknowledge their relationships in commitment ceremonies.
There are some people who might say that being married would bring homosexual couples unwanted attention. This may be true but it is a person’s choice to decide if they care about what the ignorant people think. Homosexual couples, as well as homosexuals, already have enough to deal with like hate crimes. All the homosexuals want is a chance to feel like the human beings that they are. There are some people who feel that being homosexual and getting married would be like messing with nature and legalizing same sex marriages
