Gay Marriage: should it be legally allowed or not?

Introduction

In my opinion yes it should be legalized as many of the supporters are also in favor. There are some reasons which states that now it should be legalized, in order to give respect to this community. The reasons I would like to make my point of view clear are discussed in the later pasrt of the study. For laws regarding homosexuality are commonly referred to laws that restrict or completely prohibit indicate a criminal intercourse between persons of the same sex and the laws that allow the formal registration of volumes of two persons of the same gender, and legal treatment of their parenthood. This legislation is not usually tied to the actual sexual orientation of the participants. Directly to the homosexual and other sexual orientation whether perceived or real may be subject to laws that protect against discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. Also, they usually do not operate effectively with sexual orientation determined person, but with the motivation of the offender and even imaginary to the group membership of the injured persons.

In the vast majority countries such marriages are not legally recognized (Anderssen, 335-351).

Supporters of gay marriage argue that marriage registration is a legal action, regardless of religious norms (in most modern legal state and church decoration marriage are separate), and that the law should follow the social changes that lead to the elimination of inequality between people as and occurs in the last century, when to phase out the previously existing restrictions on the registration of marriages; for case in point, between spouses, belonging to different social classes, religions or races (Dexter, 19-24).
