Introduction

Same gender marriage has taken hype in present time, where both parties are of the same gender either a man marries a man also known as gay marriage or female marring a female which is called lesbian marriage. There are reasons behind a person preferring heterosexual relations over the homosexual relations (Sullivan, 2004). Marriage directly links with the religion, society and law, the discussion around gay couples and it being allowed is one of the most complex topics in America.

Thesis statement

“Homosexuals have activated the legitimating of marriage of same sex on the ground that it does not harm anyone or create any destruction to society, however, in the future anyone else can come up with a proposed marriage for example, a man with multiple women, or marriage with an animal, or marriage with an object, or marriage with blood relations, since it does not harm anyone.”
