SHOULD homosexual marriage be legalised???

hi everyone..this is my 1st time posting a blog..i had read all d blog sent by my coursemates.i would like to raise up an issue as i think that d PTPTN issue is quite boring..so i guess it's d right time to bring in this issue-HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE..

Marriage is a social recognition and approval..of a couple's engaging in sexual intercourse and bearing and rearing children.maybe some will say that isn't marriage is just a way of recognising people who love each other and want to spend their lives together?The answer is NO..Marriage is more than that..Through marriage,the society marks out d relationship of 2 people who will together transmit human life to the next generation and nurture and protect that life..and without a shadow of doubt,homosexual marriage wouldn't ensure that..

But now d focus is"should homosexual marriage be legal?"We realise that everything in this entire world has its positive and negative consequences,and so is homosexual marriage..firstly we should consider that what might happen if it is legalised.On one hand,everyone would be able to marry whomever he or she wished..a couple who love each other could spent the rest of their lives together sanctioned legally by society..society would eventually begin to regard homosexual marriage as an acceptable way for people to live together..the society would also examine its attitudes and prejudices regarding homosexuality..Moreover,if one or the other partner left the relationship,there would be legal recourse for the division og property..

But on the other hand,marriage will become meaningless in a traditional sense..all of the laws regarding marriage would have to be changed..Society would be changed and this would be unsettling..

However,if homosexual marriage is not legalised,people might continue to live together without legal protection,leaving them vulnerable..their basic human rights are denied and society would continue to consider homosexaulity as unnatural and abnormal..And the most crucial fact is that couples would be denied the access to their partner's spousal benefits..From another point of view,it might be a good thing to do..The traditional form of marriage would survive and remain meaningful..It would also discourage homosexuality as their relationship is denied legally and this will preserve the harmony of the society..

Different people may have different kind of views on this issue.. any opinions and comments are welcomed..pls voice out your inner feelings about homosexual marriage..
