Same-sex marriage should be legalized
Same-sex marriage (also called gay marriage) is a legally or socially recognized marriage between two persons of the same biological sex or social gender. In recent years, the debate over same-sex marriage has grown from an issue that occasionally arose in a few states to a nationwide controversy. From the view of individual, it is people’s freedom to love and marry someone they like. From the social perspective, gay marriage to some extent will increase the social stability. So it is wise to legalize gay marriage.
Love and marriage are natural and free things. They should not be disturbed by other people or by the law as long as they do no harm to the society. People have a conventional idea that marriage is an institution between one man and one woman.1 But now, the definition of marriage is changed. Marriage has no boundaries of nation, race, age and even sex.2So far, a total of 13 counties have recognized same-sex marriage 3and 16 states in America have realized gay marriage to be legalized.4But the situation of homosexuals is still grim in some areas.

If people or the world cannot give me the chance and freedom to continue living with him as my lover, then I am better off to die here in prison. Freedom without him is useless and meaningless” Chimbalanga wrote in a statement. There are too many examples in the world like this illustrating that love between the same sex can be as devoted as the opposite. It is human nature and right to decide who they love and live with. If the law is against human normal nature, then it is the law to blame.
Also, the society can benefit from its tolerance to gay marriage, considering the lower rate of divorce, less population and more adopting. As the first state in America to legalize gay marriage, Massachusetts retains the national title as the lowest divorce rate state, and the MA divorce rate is about where the US divorce rate was in 1940, prior to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor that triggered the US entrance into World War Two.6It is not hard to comprehend. Since gay marriage is accepted, gay people no longer have to marry people to whom they feel little attraction, and thereby reduce the number of supposed heterosexual marriages that end up in the divorce courts. And in some way, the relationship between the same sex tends to be more stable. For the biological reason, the same-sex marriage couple could not procreate. This in turn will contribute to China’s population control. If they want 5/news/10130240Malawi gay couple get maximum sentence of 14 years 20 May 2010

How could gay marriage be forbidden when it harms no others and helps maintain the social stability in some way? It is our duty to get out of the unfair old concepts and welcome a more just and tolerant society.。
