Various controversies have emerged as to whether
LGBTQ
marriage
should be banned by law. In my point of view, I totally disagree with the announcement above;
moreover
, I stand for
LGBTQ
marriage
and I will explain my reasons in the following paragraphs about my perceptions.
Firstly
, the rights of loving a person who has the same gender as me should not be restricted by the legislation regarding that there are no theory foundations or reasonable reasons to ban the rights of
marriage
.
In addition
, the rights of
marriage
are writing down by lawmakers of hundreds of years ago which offers people the right to choose anyone they want to marry (
besides
their relatives).
Secondly
, the concept of
LGBTQ
is now gradually accepted by the public giving them more power than before in speaking and influencing the legislators' decisions.
Thus
, It is not easy to hamper the process of rules editing by the minority groups who disagree with
LGBTQ
marriage
. Take Taiwan
for example
, which just finished law editing processes
last
year. At the beginning of the poll, the majority of the traditional media and political experts argued that
although
the perception was becoming open-minded nowadays, the law editing process was too complex to achieve. Out of everyone's expectation, the poll ended up with over 70% of people voting yes to
LGBTQ
marriage
. It is widely debated that gay
marriage
will accelerate the rate of aids infectious owing to gay couples don't usually use condemns or any protection methods.
Moreover
, the growing number of gay couples results in low birth rates.
However
,
according to
medical experts, the above arguments do not have any medical or academic background meaning that the perceptions they claimed are all myths. In conclusion, loving anyone you like is not a sin or even a law-violating behaviour, and no one has the right of curbing someone's
marriage
decision.
