Why Do Gay Couples Should Not Have The Right To Marry

For many years there has been a countless abundance of couples who have wanted to marry, but due to their sexual orientation were unable to do so. Sexual orientation is a highly controversial topic and has been so for years not only in the U.S., but all over the world. In Dublin, Ireland Katherine Zappone and Ann Louise Gilligan were one of the numerous gay couples refused marriage; however, the couple got married in Canada in 2003 but had trouble gaining the court’s acknowledgement of their marriage (Associated) since they were under the Defense of Marriage Act which was endorsed in 1996 by the then current president, Bill Clinton (Supreme). Gay/Lesbian couples should have the right to marry if they decide to carry out the action, it is

Restricting lesbian and/or gays the right to marry is bringing back the feeling and reality of segregation (just a different type of segregation). As stated in the Constitution, all people have the right to marry. Denying them the right to marry is taking away the right every person should have. For some individuals, being gay or lesbian is against their beliefs and therefore they refused to marry someone of the same sex. Gay/Lesbian couples do not decide to be gay, therefore it is not a sin. A reason that some bring up to prove that gay/lesbian couples should not be allowed the right to marry like everyone else (Muskal). Another reason that some also try to justify their beliefs is the fact that gay/lesbian couples cannot reproduce. If this were allowed to be a valid argument, then we must also refuse infertile couples the right to marry.There is no difference between the two couples besides the fact that one couple is male and female while the other are of the same gender.

In the New Testament, 1 Corinthians , Corinthians 6:9 it states “ Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God?

In conclusion, having homosexual relations is against the beliefs and sacred word of God. However, the Bible under no circumstances claims that homosexual marriage is a sin. In addition to the fact, the Bible doesn’t endorse any sort of marriage over another (Jefferson). The creation of Adam and Eve is precisely another being created from man. In Genesis 2:21-23 it states that God took one of Adam’s ribs and generated a human being named Eve to be his companion.
