An Essay on Gay Marriage

In the subject of Em/History Writing, we were working on For and Against Essays and after discuss the topic, in groups we had to write one choosing a topic that we wanted.

This is our essay:

Did you know that nowadays gay marriage is much common than before? Gay marriage means that people from the same sex can get together and marry. In Argentina since July the 15th 2010, gay marriage is allowed. Argentina is not the only country in which gay marriage is allowed. France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, United States, Great Britain, Uruguay, South Africa, among others also had a legal recognition of gay marriage.

There are many advantages to gay marriage. Allowing gay marriage in countries makes the government have a more open-minded way of thinking. If they want, gay people can get married and that makes them happy because people respect their choices since the day gay marriage was allowed in 2010. The situation made them realize that things were changing for better, people were starting to accept gay people.

The most important disadvantages to the gay marriage are that people can be discriminated by someone who does not agree or gay's families may not accept their feelings. Another main disadvantage is that, in the street, people who disagree can hurt gay people emotionally or physically. Most of gay people have a very hard life because bad people made bullying to them, only because they are gay.

As a conclusion, gay marriage is a big demonstration that the world is changing, people are starting to have an open mind and society is changing. People are starting to think about others and realize that we are equal even though we like different things.
