Gay Marriage
When people hear about gay-marriage, a lot of things come to mind and it is also matter of agreeing or disagreeing with it. Actually, there are a lot of reasons why it should be legalized, and people should be given the right to end up with the person they love no matter what gender. Those who do not have an open mind towards gay marriage should be aware of the benefits it can have on their lives as well.
Couples are not only for the heterosexuals and they same-sex couples should be given the same privilege to the benefits heterosexual marriage couples have. Ostracizing and denying someone the right to marry because of their sexual orientation spreads negativity and it is discrimination. Therefore, they become a minority just because they are not allowed to get married. In reality, marriage is a human and civil right regardless of gender.
Gay marriage does not impact the heterosexual communities, just like when racial integration did not have an effect on communities. Its concept is the same as legalizing gay marriage, and it is going to grant the LGBT a right that was immorally denied.
It also lessens youth suicide because one of the reasons behind teen suicide are because of the bullying that happens because of their sexual orientation. The same level of acceptance will happen because of legalizing gay marriage will show them that it does not matter and society will still respect them. The younger generations need an explanation that who they are is not a social defect, so they are not going to be tempted to take their lives just because they are gay.
When gay marriage becomes legal, it creates joint ownership presumption accrued while they are married. It is not the case for unmarried couples, where their property is only presumed by the one who acquired it. Deciding on which of the presumption works for the couple, it can be helpful to decide if they want to get married or not. The death and taxes creates a legal framework to handle issues caused by death, whether if it is about the property, taxes or parental rights. To have these effects when the couple is unmarried, a lot of time and money will go to the establishment of a similar relationship due to contract. In addition, there are things that cannot be created again because of the contract, like freedom from taxes and inheritance. Another thing to keep in mind is the transfer taxes in properties that married couples do not have, and only to married couples. It could mean moving assets cost less and very challenging for unmarried couples.
Those who are married have government benefits, because they give a lot to married couples. Some of these benefits include health care, security, nursing home care, and paid leave when you have to take care of a family member.
The adoption of children will increase because of gay marriage because majority of adoption agencies are against gay couples and they have a hard time adopting children. A lot of agencies will only allow adoption to married couples, so rejecting a stable gay couple is an option for them. When gay marriage is legalized, adoption agencies will have no choice but to grant the same right to gay couples.
