Whether gay marriage should be legalized同性恋婚姻是否应该合法化
最近,一个关于同性恋婚姻是否应该合法化的话题引起了争议,在我看来,同性恋婚姻应该支持合法化。尽管在世界上大多数国家,同性恋婚姻还没有合法化,但由于社会压力,同性恋者避免暴露自己的性取向。然而,近年来,越来越多的国家,如法国、德国和丹麦,开始承认同性恋婚姻并允许其合法化(Merino,2013年)。我认为这是一个很好的社会现象。本文主要从同性恋群体存在的客观事实、同性恋应有权得到公平、尊重、避免伤害更多人三个方面来解释我为什么支持同性恋婚姻合法化。
Recently, a topic about whether gay marriage should be legalized has caused controversy, in my opinion, gay marriage should be supported for the legalization. Although in most countries of the world, gay marriage has not been legalized, because of social pressure, gays and lesbians avoid disclosing their sexual orientation. However, in recent years, there are a growing number of countries such as France, Germany and Denmark, which began to recognize gay marriage and allow it to become legal (Merino, 2013). I think that this is a good social phenomenon. In this essay, it is mainly from three aspects: the objective facts of existence of gay community, homosexuality should be entitled to fairness, respect, and avoiding hurting more people to explain why I support the legalization of gay marriage.
首先,在人类历史上,男人作为一个社会群体是客观存在的。同性恋不是精神病,也不是社会病。研究表明,同性恋比例一般为社会人口的2%-5%(Merino,2013年),是一个特殊群体,他们既有来自同性别的人的生理和情感需求,又有自己独特的生活方式和情感表达方式,同性婚姻的合法化将有助于满足特殊群体的需求。在情感和家庭方面进行分组。
First of all, in the history of mankind, guys as a social group exist objectively. Homosexuality is not a mental illness, it is not social ills either. Studies have shown that the proportion of gays is generally 2%-5% of a social population (Merino, 2013), it is a special group, they have both physical and emotional needs from other people of the same sex, they have their own unique way of life and emotional expression, the legalization of gay marriage will help to meet the needs of the special group in emotional and family aspects.
其次,同性恋也有真爱,他们也应该受到公平对待,受到尊重,享有相关权利。人人平等,人权天赐,爱和婚姻是人的基本权利,爱存在于两人之间,不分国籍、宗教、种族、性别。异性恋者可以有爱,结婚,同性恋者也可以,他们也需要受到尊重,受法律保护。同性婚姻合法化反映了民主、自由、平等、社会正义的哲学,也反映了文明程度和社会进步程度。
Second of all, there is also true love in homosexuality, they should also be treated fairly, be respected and enjoy relevant rights. Everyone is equal, human rights are endowed by heaven, love and marriage are the basic rights of people, love exists between two person, regardless of their nationality, religion, race, gender. Heterosexuals can have love, marriage, so can homosexuals, they also need to be respected, protected by laws. Legalizing gay marriage reflects the democracy, freedom, equality, social justice philosophy, it also reflects the degree of civilization and social progress.
最后,同性婚姻合法化将有助于防止更多人受到伤害。同性恋者在日常生活中或多或少受到歧视,这给他们的生活带来压力,一些同性恋者不能结婚,导致频繁的同性恋自杀案件,同性恋婚姻合法化有助于提高同性恋者的社会身份,以保护他们的权利(Francis,Mialon&Peng,2012)。同时,同性婚姻合法化也是异性恋者的保证。例如,一些同性恋者通过寻找异性恋伴侣结婚来满足社会的普遍规范,从而掩盖他们的实际性取向。这是最不负责任的生活选择,会伤害很多人,尤其是他们的伴侣,他们都会生活在无尽的压抑中。为减少受此伤害的人数,应支持同性恋婚姻合法化。
Finally, the legalization of gay marriage will help to prevent more people from being hurt. Homosexuals face more or less discrimination in their daily life, which puts pressure on their lives, and some homosexuals can not marry each other, leading to frequent gay suicide case, the legalization of gay marriage helps to increase social identity for homosexuals to protect their rights (Francis, Mialon & Peng, 2012). Meanwhile, legalizing gay marriage is also a guarantee for heterosexuals. For instance, some gays comply with the universal norms of the society by finding a heterosexual partner to marry, so as to cover their actual sexual orientation. This is the least responsible life choice, which would hurt a lot of people, especially their partners, both of them will live in endless repression. In order to reduce the number of people hurt by this situation, it should support the legalization of gay marriage.
综上所述,虽然同性恋婚姻不同于传统的异性恋婚姻,但同性婚姻合法化有助于满足同性恋群体的特殊需要,反映社会文明进步的程度,防止更多人受到伤害。因此,作者支持同性婚姻合法化。All in all, though gay marriage is different from traditional heterosexual marriage, legalizing gay marriage will help to meet the special needs of the gay community, reflect the degree of social civilization and progress, and prevent more people from being hurt. Thus the author supports legalized gay marriage.
