that “ human rights are for all of us, all the time, whoever we are and whenever we are from, no matter our class, our opinions, our sexual orientation” However, marriage rights especially same-sex marriage has been a controversial issue for a long time Some people think that the legislation for same-sex marriage should be passed whereas some object to this It is our firm belief that same sex marriage should be legalised Everyone has rights to live, be free and pursue happiness Therefore, right to love is one of the most basic human rights of human being All people deserve the rights of citizenship to love anyone they feel affection regardless of their gender No one even their parents or government could prevent them from coming to each other Clinton (as cited in Sherman, April 2015) claimed that there was no doubt to recognize and treat every loving couple and family equally under any circumstances Moreover, according to Clinton people must respect equality right instead of discriminating and segregating as the Court realized that if any groups were told apart, it would make our struggle for a better union lag behind ( as cited in Sherman, June 2013) According to Smart’s survey (as cited in Looking for Love in the legal discourse of marriage, 2014) which also contributes to equality rights, the statistic points out that the number of people who back up for gay marriage increases twofold between 2001 and 2005 There were fourteen countries including Uruguay, New Zealand and France which allowed same-sex couple to get married in 2013 (Renata, 2014) Some people who oppose to LGBTI community think that same-sex marriage is a new concept However, in fact, the nature of same-sex marriage is true love As a matter of fact, the affection of gay or lesbian couple is perfectly idealistic love instead of hetersexual relationship (Renata, 2014) Their relationship has got over heterosexism As a result, Labor and Greens (as cited in Looking for Love in the legal discourse of marriage) aims to make out clearly love relationship between same-sex couple Moreover, Civil Union Bill ACT (2006) stated that anyone can use civil union no matter what their gender is Therefore, love along with civil right is the thread connecting people in the community with each other irrespective of their homosexuality It is believed that same-sex couples can better in the parental role because there is no evidence showing that the gender of parents can affect the ability to provide children with a loving, caring and safe environment to develop completely (as cited in Looking for Love in the Legal Discourse of Marriage, 2014) For instance, Butler (as cited in Looking for Love in the Legal Discourse of Marriage, 2014) is one of many people who indicates the take-off of nontraditional family models not only in homosexual families but also in other cultures such as African American families in the US and Na families in China Albanese ( as cited in Looking for Love in the Legal Discourse of Marriage, 2014) said that he had seen a lot of bad parents but he had not seen bad same-sex parents and every same-sex couple he knew really wanted their child and loved their child Empricial studies ( as cited in Looking for Love in the Legal Discourse of Marriage, 2014) consistently show that there is no negative effects on bringing up offsprings in homosexual families Opponents of this view say that same-sex couples cannot have happy lives because they are not able to have children by themselves This point has some merits on the surface However, with the development of science, there are a various ways for same-sex couples to have children such as baby cloning, artificial insemination, donors or surrogacy agreements ( as cited in Looking for Love in the Legal Discourse of Marriage, 2014) Another key thing to remember is that apart from scientific methods, the homosexual can adopt children who are street chidren, abandoned in hospitals or those in orphanages This not only brings happiness to homosexual families but aslo gives unlucky nippers new hopes and new lives with love and protection In the United States, reseachers estimate that there are approximately to 14 millions of children in total living with at least one gay parent (Overview of Lesbian and Gay parenting) In California, lesbian and gay parents have adopted more than 16,000 children, which is the highest number in the United States (Gary, Gates, Badgett, Chambers, Macomber, 2007) What is more, not all the couples marrying longing for having children because they are infertile or because they want to spend all their time and love enjoying their lives with their life partners In a nutshell, despite the difference in tendency of gender, the homosexual are humans like us They also love, want to be loved and desire for happiness and fair We should have a subjective and dimensional view at this problem Therefore, the right for the homosexual to get married should be legalized by government and recognized by the public (853 words) References Gary J G, M.V Lee Badgett; Chambers, K; Macomber, J; Adoption and Foster Care by Gay and Lesbian Parents in the
