Gay marriage should be legal

Should gay marriage be legalised?

Yes, absolutely. Marriage should be about love, support, nurtured relationship, and such relationship does not depend on gender. Gay marriage will only strengthen and enrich the social concept of marriage.

Gay marriage and straight marriage are the same. There are love, affection and devotion. Both of them should be legal. The only problem is always from the church, but still I think everyone should have his/her right to choose the nature of marriage. The church has its laws that homosexuals can't get married. But there is always a separation between church and the country. The church cannot control what the country does, and the country should not act on Christian/Catholic views. Therefore, homosexuals have the right to be married as long as the country allows. On the other hand, the whole country is not of the same religion; people can have different views, we can never put our views onto the others, as this is the basic freedom that a citizen can have. If people don't think homosexual marriage is right, then so be it, but don't try to change the rest of the world from being what they believe. As a result, both the country and the church can not have the right to ban gay marriage; instead, they have to respect different people’s believes.
