Alice: “Hey, did you watch the news last night? They finally approved same-sex marriage in New York!”Katherine: “Oh, yeah…”Alice: “What's wrong?”Katherine: “To be honest, I'm against this idea.”Alice : "Why not? It doesn't harm society in any way." Katherine: "It's unnatural." Alice: "In what way is it unnatural?" Katherine: "They can't repopulate. Allowing gay marriage would only further shift the purpose of marriage away from producing and raising children. "Alice: "So? Who cares if they can't have kids together? The only thing that really matters in marriage is love. Not only that, same-sex couples help poor orphans because they usually rely on the possibility of adopting children." Katherine: "But children raised in same-sex families are not an ideal environment!" Alice: "How?" Katherine : “Girls raised separated from their fathers are reportedly at greater risk of early sexual activity and teenage pregnancy.” Alice: “But having loving parents, a better home, and a proper education is much better than staying in an orphanage.” Katherine: “It's still culturally incorrect! Calling something a wedding doesn't make it marriage. Marriage has always been a pact between a man and a woman. Same-sex marriage confuses children about gender roles and societal expectations ” Alice: “Gay couples have the same right to marry as heterosexual couples. Not allowing gay couples to marry is a form of discrimination!” Katherine: “But it turns a moral wrong into a civil right!” Alice: "How?" Katherine: "A man and a woman who want to get married and can be different in their characteristics are fine. The two individuals are still a man and a woman, and... middle of paper... income due to additional tax breaks to homosexual couples in marriages." Alice: “It can also have a positive impact. Revenue from gay marriage comes from marriage licenses, higher income taxes and decreased costs for state benefit programs.” Katherine: “What about children? It confuses them about roles of gender and society's expectations.” Alice: “But it allows them to be more open and welcoming, which can lead to less bullying towards homosexuals Same-sex marriage can give hope to homosexuals and allow them to finally feel comfortable with others around them. We are equal in this world, no matter what race. Why shouldn't we be equal based on sexual orientation? " Katherine: “I understand what you're saying, but ultimately, it really depends on each of our beliefs.” Alice: "Yes, I guess so.”
