The issue of gay marriage remains controversial. Some people think that this trend has adverse effects on the society while others believe that it is seen as a natural trend and right for people to choose this type of marriage. Should gay marriage be legal? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Many argue today that the

marriage

has a negative result on our society. Others opine that it is now acceptable in the modern world and it is the

right

of every individual to decide whom to marry. I would say that gay

marriage

should be allowed and protected by the law. In present times, it is said that true love wins. The love between same-sex partners is

also

real love. Gay

couples

have been acknowledged and accepted by many and have long been fought that it is their

right

to be whomever they want to be, as everyone has his own

right

to live the life he chooses.

For instance

, my sister is gay, but she still has the same

right

to live her life and choose whom she wants to be with, as mine. Gay

marriage

is just the same as any other

marriage

and should

also

be made legal.

Moreover

, a lot of gay

couples

have been fighting for their rights to be legally joined so they can

also

enjoy the benefits married

couples

enjoy. There are plenty of things legally married

couples

avail

that is

not available to

couples

that are just considered partners.

For example

, a married couple can enrol their dependents as beneficiaries in health or life insurance.

However

, these options are not accessible for gay

couples

as they are not legally married.

Thus

, making gay

marriage

legal will help them deal with these problems. In conclusion, gay

marriage

should be made legal because gay

couples

have the same rights as everyone else and should be treated like everyone else.
