Ask anyone. They will tell you that they support equal rights for homosexuals. Tell the situation and then ask. They will all say, yes, homosexuals should have the same rights in housing, work and public accommodation, and should receive government benefits and be equally protected by law.
Then you will see gay marriage.
At this time, all discussions about equality stopped coldly.
Nearly 70% of Americans are against gay marriage, almost the same as those who support gay rights. This means that many people who are equally enthusiastic about gay rights oppose homosexuality on this issue.
Why so enthusiastic?
This is because there are many misunderstandings about what homosexuality is, and people mistakenly believe that homosexuality enjoys the same civil rights protection as others. There are also many stereotypes about homosexual relations and even many misunderstandings about marriage itself.
The purpose of this article is to clarify some misunderstandings and discuss some facts around homosexual relationship and marriage, homosexuality and heterosexuality.
First of all, let's discuss what the homosexual relationship is all about. Stereotype holds that homosexuality is promiscuous and cannot form a lasting relationship, and the relationship formed is superficial and uncertain. And homosexuality does have such a relationship!
But the important fact to note is that, just like in heterosexual society, such relationships also exist, and they are a small part, mainly among very young people. In fact, the most common complaint of elderly gay men is that it is almost impossible to find excellent single men to associate with them because they are already "taken!"
If you attend any gay activities, such as Pride Festival or PFLAG meeting, you will find that this is true. As homosexuals grow older and mature, just like their heterosexual counterparts, they begin to appreciate and find ways to establish long-term loyal relationships.
The values expressed by such gay couples in their daily lives are often indistinguishable from those of their heterosexual neighbors. They are loyal to their spouses and faithful partners in monogamy. They attach importance to and participate in family life, and strive to make their communities and communities safer and better places to live, and respect and abide by the law. Many people have made valuable contributions to their communities, serving on school boards, volunteering in community charities and trying to be good citizens. In doing so, they make full use of their relationship, not only to make their lives better, but also to make their neighbors' lives better.
One of the benefits of gay marriage to heterosexual society is that the commitment of marriage means that participants are unwilling to promiscuous. This is conducive to slowing down the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, which are ignorant of sexual orientation and are destroyers of equal opportunities.
These benefits of gay marriage have changed the attitude of most people in Denmark and other countries, where various forms of gay marriage have been legal for many years. In fact, in 1989, when the proposal to legalize gay marriage was first put forward in Denmark, most clergy opposed it. Now, according to the surveys made at that time and now, after seeing the benefits to their partners and society, they overwhelmingly agree.
Then, since the value of gay marriage has been established, why are people so opposed to it?
Many reasons against same-sex marriage are based on the assumption that homosexuals can choose who they like, but the reality is quite different. Many people actually think that homosexuals can choose to be heterosexual if they want. But the truth is that few people have a choice-just as few heterosexuals can choose which sex they are attracted to.
In addition, many people still think that homosexuality is only related to sex, and that it is just a sexual perversion. The fact is that homosexuality is multidimensional, and it is more about love and feelings than sex. This is the basis of gay relationships-mutual attraction, love and affection. Sex is a way to express love, just like heterosexuality. Homosexuality is much deeper than simple sexual relations; Homosexuality is part of that person's core identity and the core of his existence. It's like a black man in a white society or a blond European in a black-haired Asian country. Yes, homosexuality means a lot to homosexuals. This is something that few heterosexuals can understand unless they are in the minority themselves.
