Heavy Dose of Talk: Same-Sex Marriage

Argentina has recently legalize gay marriage. This seems like a good thing but not necessarily. The normal human institution tries to get the whole world to conform to their needs. At the same time the gay community do not mind having a strong validation of their existence in addition to being able to enjoy the benefits all this while granted only to their heterosexual kin.

Homosexual marriage among the gays and lesbians are not unanimous especially voted by the undomesticated type who think the formal declaration is limiting nature's law and affecting significant economy damage to their population. Imagine spending money on marriage instead of boozing the night away and then when the love go sour will lead to bitter legal divorce and expensive prenuptial arrangement. For them Carpe Diem is sowing the seeds of lust than love.

However being married legally is human instinct to get validation of their love. Being married allows same inheritance and adoption right like their heterosexual counterpart.

I am on the fence about this. I might like to be married one day to someone I love, and spend the rest of my life with, only on the assurance that that marriage would last forever. But I hate the money involved in getting that whole ceremony done. I think it's a waste of money and everyone's time. At the same time, if being married produce a set of joint benefits like adoption and inheritance, I think it's definitely a good idea after all, if your love one leaves you behind, you want to make sure their stuffs are left to you, not to their parents whom renounced them for being who they are.
