Gay Weddings And Why They Are A Good Thing




Gay Weddings And Why They Are A Good Thing


We as people are always changing and have come a long way over the many years we have been on this world. We have learnt to tolerate each other and that the old ways of the church have been watered down for a modern world. Being gay is not the taboo it once was and they are living relatively free. New equality rights are being introduced all the time, one of which, is the right for same sex weddings.
The importance of this is vast and it brings us so very close to gay and lesbian people to have the same rights as the straight people. For a gay couple who have been together for a while and love each other, nothing would be better then to show their bond by making it official and legal.
For many many years gay and lesbian people have been fighting for these type of rights and have lived in fear and the feeling of being a second citizen. Having to live with this over many years, afraid that something could happen or say they didn't want them here, would of been awful and no way to live your life. Gay weddings have opened doors for full same sex rights in the eyes of the law. We call it a gay wedding but really it's a civil partnership, which isn't full marriage but close enough to it. Gay weddings finally show that people do recognize love between people of the same sex is acceptable and the love is just as strong as a straight couple.
