Speaking about gay marriage, one is to keep in mind some fundamentals concerning the movement to open civil wedlock. First of all, it should be pointed out that the same sex couples got an opportunity to legalize their relations in the early 90's. It was the Hawaii Supreme Court, which was the first one to award the temporary success to people who are fighting for the same-sex couples' marriage. Ryan Normandin is of the opinion that “If people are opposed to gay marriage being legalized, everyone automatically assumes that the grounds for this can only be homophobia and hate towards those who are different from them” (par. 1). In other words, one can make a conclusion that if some persons are opposed to equal rights for same-sex couples, they do not respect their own rights and duties. Forbidding gay marriages is considered to be an act of discrimination. This constriction is viewed to be the same as if all the people were not allowed to marry the person they want to marry. So, it is necessary to clarify that “the states have the laws that oversee marriage, and they forbid the marriage between the first cousins, brothers and sisters, parents and their offsprings; between people and animals, inanimate objects, or multiple individuals” (Normandin par. 2).

It is true that the gay marriages will not bring any children into this world, but sill, for lesbians there is an option of getting artificial insemination....
