Will you marry me...?

While in deep thoughts about marriage
and people's thoughts on gay marriage,
I thought of writing this,
so that people will understand more about marriage itself.

Long ago, I had a discussion about gay marriage with someone online.
Her thoughts were that gays should not be exiled from the society,
but they should NOT be allowed to get married
because it is not allowed in any religion at all.

People often say that marriage is between a man and a woman,
and if it is altered to between a man and a man or a woman and a woman,
then it will ruin the institution of marriage,
but let's see how much have we ruined the institution of marriage.

Well, we have allowed the marriage between people of different statuses.
We HAVE allowed interracial marriage.
Surprisingly, polyandry has been receiving a lot of criticism,
and child marriage is banned in most of the countries in the world.

Oh dear,
the institution of marriage is ruined!

 

 

Shouldn't marriage be about love despite who you marry?
Shouldn't marriage be about the commitment between two adults?
Even if you were to judge,
the person's values and morals are the ones to be judged,
not the person's skin colour, gender, wealth and what not!

It's really unfair to oppose marriage between two lovers just because of their body,
especially since everyone has different beliefs all over the world
And they have to be tied down just because of YOUR beliefs,
and lack of discovery over the holy book.

Now let's get back to the "institution of marriage".
Usually what is supported for this idea of marriage between a man and a woman,
is "Adam and Eve, NOT Adam and Steve",,
quite funny, actually, but ridiculous as well.

So now I am left to wonder,
how does Gay marriage ruin the institution of marriage
if the ones married are couples who are deep in love,
and not the ones who marry just for 72 days?

From my personal belief,
based on the history of the legalizing of marriage between different statuses,
and interracial marriage,
it IS possible for gay marriage to be legalized in the future.

 

 

People just need to have more knowledge about each others' differences.
