Same-sex marriage is the legal union between individuals of the same sex whether it may be both males or both females. While it may be legal in many countries for people of the same sex to get married it is illegal in Jamaica, but there are still homosexuals here.
Back in the day same-sex marriage or couple were not as open as it is now due to discrimination and the bible. While reading the bible we learned that God created Eve for Adam, a female for a male not a male for a male or a female for a female. So that is to show that God intended for us to be a couple with the opposite sex, so therefore in the eyes of God, same-sex marriage is wrong. And it is frowned upon by the Christian church.
In same-sex marriage, these individuals cannot reproduce so they end up having to adopt children. Most time the adoption process may take a while for these individuals. Heterosexual families have a better chance of receiving children via adoption than homosexuals. These children may grow up in a loving family from both parents but they may be faced with discrimination at school from their peers or they may even face discrimination while out with their parents. Individuals tend to believe that children who grow up in these families will grow up to be homosexuals themselves and promote homosexuality in their society and they also believe that children who are grown up in heterosexual households are better off. But I believe it is not so, I know of children who grow up in a heterosexual household but are still attracted to individuals of the same sex, so sometimes it has nothing to do with the family the child grows up in but rather the child and the feeling they carry inside of them.
Same-sex marriage is a widely growing practice in our society today. This is showing the new generation of children that they are free to be who they are or free to be with whomever they want to be with even though some countries have not legalized it yet it is still showing them that they can be themselves without discrimination and judgment from people in their society. But being in a relationship with a person of your sex maybe good and all but can lead to various kinds of health complications for these individuals, As I learned in Human Sexuality class your body is at more risk of having an STI or STD when you have sexual intercourse in the anus. And once the muscles are stretched it can never come back together as the walls of the vagina can expand and go back together.
Same-sex marriage can hurt the society the individuals are living especially if persons living in those environments are not in agreement with such a lifestyle. It can cause an increase in crime towards those persons as seen in the news over the past years in Montego Bay toward the way residents treat homosexuals.
