The open dispute of gay marriage is whether or not homosexuals should be able to marry one another, or that should just not be able to, which is currently how it is in many states and countries. Most people believe that marriage is only about reproduction, or even that to get married you have to just be a man or a woman, but what these individuals do not understand is this. There are people all over the world who get married and are not fertile who cannot have kids, and no one is stopping them. No, those people are allowed to marry because no matter if reproduction for them has become an issue they love each other. So why can't that be the case or homosexuals, why must they be discriminated against just because what they do is 'outside of the norm' of our culture?
In my opinion I do not believe that they along with anyone else should be discriminated against just because of what sex they are attracted too or who they love. No matter if it is something alien and new to people. We as humans and civil people are brought up with the morale, to treat others the way we would like to be treated. So, really do you want to not be allowed to get married to the one you love, no, you'd hat that, and it would in turn leave you heartbroken you want it to somehow be changed. Just imagine that the roles are reversed and the heterosexuals are the ones not able to marry.. Put yourself in the shoes of others.
Now, there are many people who agree with my words and also many others who disagree with me at all levels and I understand that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Some arguments that others have made are that by the legalization of gay marriage, it will be a leading factor in polygamy, homosexuality is a perversion that would have to be taught in public schools, and that it will result in a social security crisis.
While I can understand the last argument on social security, the other two I do not see as much of a threat. Although with social security that problem could most likely be fixed, by only giving the money out to the people who are in desperate need for it, who are unable to work, not just because they don't want to, so they decide to rely on the government for money, then when the people get old enough and actually need it, the money will be there for them to utilize. I believe that the people who are receiving social security currently are doing a greater damage then would that of gay marriage. But with Polygamy, even without homosexual marriage being legal there is still polygamy that occurs within the US and other countries. Also, homosexuality would not necessarily have to be taught in schools, heterosexuality is not, a child could find out on homosexuality just within their daily life.

what opinions do my peers have, so that I can ignore binary thining and see the issue from more than one perspective..
i believe that others may feel that it's wrong since it is unnatural. Or that marriage is about procreation. Gay marriage becoming legal would cause socioeconomical problems throughout the world also.
