"Men and women full of age, without any limitation due to race, nationality, or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family." ( Article 16-1). Most people would interpret this article as only a man and a woman have the right to be married. But many people need to reconsider the article as in each man and woman are independent, and should be able to marry whomever he or she desires. The majority of people are straight and in heterosexual relationships, but should not mean that the minority of people are any less human because they live their life in a homosexual relationship. Would you chose to live your life as a homosexual knowing all the struggles you would have to face?
Everyone has the choice of who they fall in love with, but nobody can decide that they will fall in love with a specific gender. Most people think the natural way of things is that men are attracted to women and that
women are attracted to men. People who are homosexual are naturally born to be attracted to the same sex. As well as people who are born straight are naturally born to be attracted to people of the opposite sex.
Many people do not agree with homosexual marriage because they argue it is not the natural way of things. Reason is because homosexuals connot produce children, where a man and a woman have that capability. People tho who are in homosexual relationships could always adopt. But many people say that that would be an injustice to the child. Also consider that not all heterosexual relationships are capable of producing children. The argument that children would be deprived of both a mother and father could be the same for children brought up in a single mother or single father household. Once homosexuals are allowed to be married, eventually it would become normal and not such a big deal.
"Heterosexual relationships are the norm, both in society and in nature." People have never been fully exposed to another type of living because homosexuals are forced to keep their relationship a secret. Most people do not take into consideration that homosexuals are people too and do have the same feelings as everyone else, and can develop the exact same love for another person. No matter who someone falls in love with it it still love and everyone should feel comfortable expressing it.
