The legalization of gay marriage is a topic that has been argued in our society for several years. This is also a theme that most people oppose because it is very hard to accept same sex marriage between couples. There are several debates without outcomes we have had over the past several years to seek the right for gay people to marry because it is very difficult to throw away all what that is called moral, virtual, tradition and the nature law of life to do whatever people like. As Scott Bidstrup explains, “The fact that they people are not comfortable with the idea stems primarily from the fact that for many years, society has promoted the idea that a marriage between member of the same sex ludicrous” (Bidstrup2). So then to maintain these natural law and moral values, gay people should not be married legally. To begin, the civil and legal rights of individuals in married should be discussed. As we know marriage is a basic right of the people, so nobody can oppose and force someone to marry with someone else. This means that one can marry whomever he or she wishes. However I think that this rule does not apply for gay people, because when rules are made, it is usually based on real life, moral values, and natural law. Hence, most people are against gay marriage. A survey records that nearly three people in four in The United States oppose gay marriage, most of them tend to protect gay rights but not their institution of marriage. People think that the same sex marriage is against man’s morals, and it is really not suitable in society. As Scott Bidstrup explains, “The fact that people are not comfortable with the idea stems primarily from the fact that for many years, society has promoted the idea that a marriage between members of the same sex is ludicrous story” (Bidstrup 5). In the same way, marriage is not only the basic right of people, but also the essential in order to have a happiness life. From the past to present, a mode of tradition family includes a wife or a woman, a husband or a man, and the children. In contrast, gay marriage is a combination of same sex partners. It is absolutely against the natural law, so same sex families will be very hard to achieve a happy life when most people discriminate against them. In essence, same sex marriage is just about sex, therefore it is considered like a sexual perversion (Bidstrup2). The meaning of marriage and the differences between heterosexuals and homosexuals are also reasons for the argument about gay marriage. Heterosexual marriage is defined as an institution between man and woman, marriage is the basis of family life, and families are central to civilization. As Dunlap assents, “There is nothing to discuss and radical about the position that the family has a man and a woman as its nucleus. This tradition structure cannot be expanded to embrace gay couples” (Dunlap 1). This means that homosexuals cannot and will never be accepted in our society because it is something that people never thought about before.
