Based on my past experience, gay marriage would make a lot of same sex couple much happier for being recognized as the same as regular couples. I also believe that by legalizing marriage, same sex couples will feel less inferior, like the current laws seem to imply. Other then the personal gains of those involved, I wouldn't think that there would be too many gains outside of that. Personally I am not against gay marriage, I would have thought it would have already been legal. It doesn't seem like an abomination or anything that would ruin life for anyone else.
I think that people in opposition to gay marriage may have negative responses to mine. They may say that there are no gains. They would point out that I only see the personal gains, and therefore isn't worth changing a law. Many people believe gay marriage isn't correct or right They may be angry with me for supporting it, but personally, I see no reason to oppose it..
I also want to know more about same sex couple children, divorce rates and economic gains from gay marriage. I believe that by legalizing gay marriage would decrease divorce rates, but I would like to research different statistics about that. I also believe that there are economic gains from gay marriage. There are taxes and fees for being married, that would add income for the government. The extra number of weddings themselves would generate a lot of revenue for businesses in that industry. Another thing I want to research is how children differ. I want to know if there are social impacts from being brought up in a homosexual home opposed to a heterosexual home. Another topic related to that is adoption. I would like to research adoption statistics of heterosexual couples opposed to homosexual couples. There are many other topics that branch off of these, but I think I should start with these larger ones first to support my view of gay marriage.
