GAY MARRIAGE

The legalization of homosexual marriage is an act of justice that recognizes the right of the citizens of choosing their sexual orientation, without being neither discriminated nor diminished by it, and it recognizes the homosexual pairs the same right to have a family with the same rules and benefits that the heterosexual ones have.
It constitutes a great advance towards the slow, irreversible acceptance of the homosexuality as a perfect, natural and legitimate manifestation of the human diversity.
People, who are in groups against gay marriage, always use the same weak arguments; like the desfiguration and the ending of the heterosexual marriage as an institution because of the gay one; if we research we will find.that for example for 2005, 60% of the heterosexual marriages in the US ended in divorce. Also in Spain for each 3 marriages, they have 2 divorces; so, with this information, we can conclude that the gay marriage is already obsolete and won`t influence in a good or bad way the heterosexual marriage; because it is already damaged.
Also the argument of the adoption says that a couple of the same sex can not rise children, because they are gonna rise them with problems and with wrong ideas about men a women relationships. The problem with this argument is that there are a lot of cases of children, even here in Costa Rica, that live with homosexual couples and they live better than some others in a “normal”(heterosexual) family.
Here in Costa Rica, for example, we have the case of a child that lives with a transexual; who rises him because his mother didn`t take care care of him when he was born. This is just an example of our reality in CR, and not the only one case to support the argument of the adoption.
There are also some studies from the Pediatry American Children Academy that were done with some lesbian couples and men couples that found out that the children that were born or adopted by a couple of the same sex, , deserve that their parents have the same legal and civil rights like the ones of the heterosexual parents .To justify such affirmation, the Academy was specifying: "A sufficient number of studies suggest that the children of homosexual parents have the same advantages and expectations of health, adjustment and development that the children of heterosexual couples have"
And that’s not all, lets figure out about all the children that were left, that will have better opportunities having a family. Why not to give them the opportunity if a gay couple can do it, and maybe better than a heterosexual couple does.
It is also said that children in this kind of marriages are gonna be predisposed to a gay orientation, thinking that this orientation is normal and better. This argument is wrong because even in traditional families, with all the facilities that we have today, internet, TV, and in general every mass meas of communication, the idea of the homosexuality is becoming more a more popular and acepted.
Homosexual orientation is something that has existed since the begining of the times, the only one difference that we have now, is that people worry more about the respect of the sexual diversity, and the respect of the rigths of others to choose their sexual orientation. Mankind mind has changed about slavery, racism and woman descrimination and so must be about homosexual legal union.
