Same-Sex
Marriage?
In
class, we have been discussed about same sex marriage. Moreover, I think this
is a good topic to talk about, so I did some research on it, there are so many debates
on internet, that mention different pro and cons with it. For example pro on
same sex marriage, it is no one else's business if two men or
two women want to get married. Two people of the same sex who love each other
should be allowed to publicly celebrate their
commitment and receive the same benefits of marriage, as opposite
sex couples, there is no such thing as traditional marriage. Given the
prevalence of modern and ancient examples of family arrangements based on
polygamy, communal child-rearing, the use of concubines and mistresses and the
commonality of prostitution, heterosexual monogamy can be considered
"unnatural” in evolutionary terms. On the other hands, the con on same sex
marriage, the institution of marriage has traditionally been defined as between
a man and a woman. In the Oct. 15, 1971 decision Baker v. Nelson,
the Supreme Court of Minnesota found that "The institution of marriage
as a union of man and woman, uniquely involving the procreation and rearing of
children within a family, is as old as the book of Genesis.”
