What is the problem about same sex marriage?

And how it
affect life?
Same sex marriage marriage has highlighted high profile relationship between theology,
church, state and society . In june 2015 the supreme court issued its obergeefell v. Hodges
decision which ruled that state must allow same sex couple to mary. A pew forum poll before
the decision found that most Americans (57%) thought same sex marriage should be legal but
less than athird of evangelicals agreed. Many are now asking question about the differences
between civil and religious marriage the place of religious dissent on same sex marriage and
pastoral care.

Although this questions have been answered repeatedly and clearly in a variety of context
, The proposal of legalize homosexual marriage is an attempt to redefine the institution of
marriage as it has existed from the very beginning of human history . Marraige between a man
and a woman was designed by God and has two fundamental purposes: It affirms the difference
and the complimentarity of males and females in loving relationship, and its provide the
foundation for the procreation and raising of children . Marraige thus described has been the
foundamenta l unit, the building block of every human culture and society. Think about it: God
created two different gender for a reason, so that males and females could come together
complement one another procreate and continue the species.

Same sex marriage is a philosophical problem because same sex marriage has been
regulated through law, religion and costum in most countries of the world the legal and social
responses have ranged from celebration, on the other hand to criminalization on the other. Same
sex marriage is controversy that is a part of family values issues and is related to homosexuality
and marriage disputes. Those who believe that legal authorities should recognize the validity of
marriage between two men or two women. God created marriage for the purpose of procreation.
This argument relies on the premise that God exist. Marriage traditionally has meant the union
of one man and one woman . Homosexuality union can be classed more or less with polygamy in
the advocates want to changes the definition can be changes for homosexual, why would any
other limit be different? This argument ignore the fact that there there are documentation of
historic same sex marriage.

According to John Ozolins, The main argument put forward in favour of altering the
definition of marriage as being between a man and woman is that this discriminate against
relationship between individual of the same sex and hence constitute a violation of their right to
have their relationship recognize as having equal value.
Same sex marriage is currently one of the most divisive political issue inb our nation. In
November 2008, Californians passed Proposition 8, a referendum that removed the right to mary
from sex couples who had been granted that right by the courts. This result have been seen by the
same sex community as deeply degrading. More recently lowa and Vermont have legalized
same sex marriage, the latter through legislation. Analyzing this issue will help us understand
what is happening in our country, and were we might go from here.

What is the same sex marriage debate about? It is not about whethere same sex relationship can
involved the content of marriage: few would deny that gays and lesbians are capable of
friendship, intimacy,”meet and happy conversation”, and mutual responsibility, or not that they
can have and raise children whether their own from a previous marriage, children created within
their relationship by surrogacy or artificial insemination, or adopted children.

I therefore conclude that same sex marriages has already been legalized in 23 countries around the world.
Inhabited by more than 760 million people. Despite positively linking marriages with wellbeing, it may
be premature to definitively assert casuality. But overall the evidence is fairely clear same sex marriage
leads to ahost of social and even public health benefits including arranges of advantages for mental health
and wellbeing. The benefits accrue to society as a whole, whether you are in same sex relationship or not.
