Gay marriage is harmful for society

Many people around the world believe that gay marriage should not be legalized while others believe that gay marriage should be legalized. Those in favor of gay marriage state that everyone deserves to be happy. Those against gay marriage believe that the legalization of gay marriage would bring serious consequences to our society. In the United States, the legalization of gay marriage has become a country wide issue. Studies and research that has been done towards this issue has demonstrated that gay marriage would divide the nation, would destabilize the purpose of marriage and would harm children. Legalizing gay marriage would bring a separation between religious organizations and the state power. One of the main reasons why people opposed to gay marriage is because of religious belief. One of the purposes of marriage is procreation. Two people of the same sex can not reproduce. Gay marriages would also have a strong effect on children. An article in Child Trends stated that research proves that the child needs both, a mother and a father, to become a full personality. For all these reasons I believe that gay marriage should not be legalized.
