There are several reasons why homosexuals feel that they want to be married legally. One important reason is that they want to legally show their love for each other by having a marriage license. They are in love and want to spend their lives with a person of their same sex, but to do this officially they need the law to approve. Even though it is possible to do this without being married, “they want to honor their relationship in the greatest way our society has to offer”.
There is no reason why two people cannot get married because of their sexuality. If a man and woman get to marry because they love each other, why shouldn’t homosexuals, who are in love as well as heterosexual people, get married?
However, people may argue that there are other ways for same-sex couples to be legally tied together without getting married. One option would be by going through a civil union, although it is true that civil unions and marriages are totally different things. Apart from this, homosexual couples still wouldn’t have the freedom they want or the choice to go where they want to have a civil union.
