The nagative opinions
Conclusion
5. Definition
Same-sex marriage (also called gay
marriage) is a legally or socially recognized
marriage between two persons of the same
biological sex or social gender.
6. Homosexual phenomenon has existed even
since the human society come into being. In
abroad, homosexuals had been persecuted
terribly. Nowadays, with the development of
homosexual rights movement and human
rights movement, the rights of homosexuals
have been enlarging continually. During the
homosexual rights movement, the
legalization of homosexual marriage is the
top goal of homosexuals. However, it is
widely acknowledged that marriage is a
union of man and woman ,should the gay
people get marriaged?
7. Argentina's Gay Pride parade
Thousands marched in
Argentina's Gay Pride parade
on last Saturday, celebrating
the country's status as the first
in Latin America to legalize
same-sex marriage and vowing
to campaign for new rights for
transgender people.
“More than 500 same-sex
couples have been married
since President Cristina
Fernandez signed the law on
July 21” said Esteban Paulo,
President of the Argentine
Lesbians, Gay, Bi, and
Transgender Federation.
8. Gay couple who tried to marry was
sentenced to 14 years jail
A judge in Malawi has sentenced Steven Monjeza
and Tiwonge Chimbalanga to 14 years in prison
with hard labour after they were convicted of gross
indecency and unnatural acts on May 18 under
British colonial-era laws that remain in Malawi‘s
penal code( 刑法典 ).
"I will give you a scaring sentence so that the
public be protected from people like you, so that
we are not tempted to emulate this horrendous
example," said Judge Nyakwawa Usiwa-Usiwa in
the commercial capital, Blantyre, reported the
BBC.
9. Steven Monjeza (L) and
Tiwonge Chimbalanga(R) sit in
a pick-up truck before
appearing at a magistrate court
in Blantyre Jan 4, 2010.
"I love Steven so much. If
people or the world cannot give
me the chance and freedom to
continue living with him as my
lover, then I am better off to die
here in prison. Freedom
without him is useless and
meaningless." – Chimbalanga,
20, wrote in a statement
10. Discussion
About 90 percent of Chinese people believe
that homosexuality has no influence on job
selections.This may indicate more tolerance
towards homosexuality in China,should
China allow gay marriage?
12. Supporting reasons
1, the population problem.
Most people don't support
same sex relationship,
because they think
homosexuals are very
nausea. For this
reason ， many homosexuals
will certainly, under social
family pressure, choose to
marry and have children. If
the law allows gay marriage,
doubtless
13. give homosexual a larger forceful support and legal
support. This will encourage many gay to challenge
traditional concept and social pressure. This will be a
control on population growth. And these gay has profound
maternal love and paternal love .they also want to have
children and usually they will adopt orphans. This will help
a lot of orphans.
14. 2, to attract talents.
Now ， not many countries allow the gay marriage. If
China can pass the law of gay marriage, then undoubtedly
many gay will be attracted to come to China. Among these
people, talents exist. And these people dare to challenge
the traditional concept and select same-sex love. From a
certain angle, their thinking is not tight by traditional mode.
They have great potential to create. This is exactly what
talents we need .
15. The situation of gay couple
So far, a total of seven countries worldwide recognize
same-sex marriage, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada,
South Africa, Norway and Sweden.
The United States has six states realized same-sex
marriage to be legalized, including Massachusetts and
Connecticut, Vermont, Iowa, Maine and New Hampshire.
Although China has not pass the law of gay marriage now,
but in China there are many gays are living in a happy life
and love each other very much! It doesn’t matter that if
they can be accepted by others. What they care most is if
they accept themselves. Happiness belong to ourselves!
why we need to care about what others say?
16. Some same-sex couples buy houses, car together, live a
two-people‘s happy life. They also go shopping together,
watch movie together, buy vegetables together and cook
together, do cleaning together, just like other normal lovers.
There also have some lesbian. They borrow other people’s
sperm, and give birth to their own children, create a family
of three. Unfortunately, their happiness do not
acknowledged by everyone .So, many people
misunderstand them. However, in fact ,homosexuals also
can live a happy life. As a conclusion, we support same-
sex marriage
17.
18. Against
Though many nations have admitted the
same sex marriage, I still believe that it will
hurt family and society.
19. REASONS
1.Affecting the human evolution;
2. legalization of homosexual marriage may
overturn the basic moral discipline in
China.
3. undermining the institution of marriage;
20. 1. Affecting the human evolution
Although the purpose of marriage is not only for reproduction, yet the
primary purpose of marriage, in every society around the world, has
been procreation. Marriages are for ensuring the continuation of the
species .
due to physical condition everybody knows that homosexual
cannot bear a child.You may argue that they can adopt one .But
our children need the education given by father and mother both.
The cooperation of mother and father plays an unique role in a
child’s growing process. They help children to shape a sound
world value, to foster a health relationship with opposite sex. But
in homosexual families, what can you give to children?
In addition, scientists have found most of homosexual is not by
nature but by nurture. A child living in homosexual family is more
likely to adopt the same .
If gay marriage is allowed, the nation will soon begin to experience an
increased degradation of the nuclear family ,resulting in fewer kids
being raised by both a mom and a dad.
21. 2. Legalization of homosexual marriage may
overturn the basic moral discipline in China.
Marriage is a holy and sacred concept in Chinese
ethic system and Chinese culture evolution. And a
traditional family is the cell of a harmonious
society. Homo marriage undermines what the
marriage itself should be. And from my perspective,
you due what you want to value. Homo marriage
legalization is catering for the minority at a high
cost of society as a whole.
We witness an increasing number of people who
advocate homo marriage just in order to appear to
be enlightened and tolerant. And some mainstream
media are also agitating and exaggerating this
tendency. And if the culture continues to send that
message, if our educational system sends that
message, you know what? Eventually the basic
morality will change and people's ethic will change.
22. 3.undermining the institution of
marriage
homosexual marriage is undermining the institution of marriage,
which is defined as a union between a man and a woman. The
word "marriage" does not mean whatever you want it to mean
.But you didn’t explain how it can benefit our society. You also
didn’t explain what the impact would be on the institution of
marriage and on our children.
If the ONLY reason for marriage is that we want it, So, what if a
man wants marry a kid, what if an animal? If it happens, The
legalization of marriage will be meaningless, the protection for all
families will be lost, finally, the basic social structure will break
down.
Legalized marriage isn’t simply personal preference, but more
about the protection of social stability and morality .Respect is
not equal t
24. conclusion
As we have seen,the two sides’ viewpoints
of gay marriage are quite reasonable . With
gay marriage becoming a reality in some
places, more people are beginning to sit up
and take notice. Only time will tell us if it will
remain a marginalized, heretical idea or
become an established and accepted
institution in China. What is your opinoin,do
you think we should allow gay marriage in
China?
