Equal Love Why should there have to be a limit on who we can love? Whether straight, gay, or bisexual, etc. it should not matter. Marriage is when two people who (in most cases) love and care for each other and decide to unite legally. Love is a sacred bond shared between two people and no one else outside of the intimate relationship should have a say on what they can and cannot do. Traditional views on same-sex marriage are carried out into the very modern 21st century from folks who grew up in a very conservative time like in the early 20th century, which caused mixed both positive but mainly negation emotions on how appropriate same sex marriage is.

Campion, M.D., Stephen Morrissey, Ph.D., and Jeffrey M. Drazen, M.D. includes that “today, same-sex marriage is legal, through legislative or judicial action or by popular vote, in more than 35 states and the District of Columbia.” Same-sex couples want to get married for the same reasons that straight couples do. They just want the same opportunities as straight couples have such as the benefits of marriage including insurance, immigration, inheritance and money. When two people love each other, regardless of sexual orientation, they usually want to celebrate their love by uniting as one and having the law recognize their love for each other through marriage. Along with the giddiness of being legally married comes a few other benefits like sharing insurance and buying a home together that appeal to the American constitution’s life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.This is partially true for same-sex couples, because they are often discriminated in their workplace including denial of employment and decrease promotional opportunities, and the refusal to add their spouse to insurance benefits. Since the legalization of same-sex marriage in the U.S., on June 26, 2015, employers now have to re evaluate their benefits structure to better accommodate the new change in the law. These benefits include paid sick time, family and medical leave time, and health insurance coverage. Another …show more content…
Gail Mason and Mischa Barr of the University of Sydney summarize that people with negative social attitudes towards same-sex marriages are often older and less educated, more likely to be religious and express traditional values, reside in areas where negative attitudes are the norm like in the mid west. Luckily, there are people who are interested in looking into the science and reasoning behind homosexuality and have come up with a few theories. Homosexuality is based either or a biological factor or psychological factor. The biological theory states backs up the belief of “being born gay.” Simon LeVay who is a neuroscientist and author conducted a study in 1991 that favored the biological theory. He studied the brain of cadavers and found that a tiny portion in the center of the brain (INAH3) was much smaller in nineteen gay men who died with AIDS than sixteen heterosexual men. The INAH3 is interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus. He did have a flaw in his study where he assumed the cadavers were all heterosexual even though some died from AIDS, a disease more common in affecting homosexual males. In the psychological theory, it is based on the development of the child through early experiences and the role of parental family dynamics. This theory ties into how the parents raise the child and what they are exposed to on their daily lives and
