Gay_Rights

Gay Rights When people think of gay rights they think that homosexual people want to have special rights, rights that heterosexuals do not have, but this idea is entirely wrong. Homosexuals just want to have the same rights as heterosexuals, nothing more, and nothing less. Homosexuals are a growing minority with nearly a million gays and lesbians identifying themselves as members of same-sex couples in the 2000 census. But the total gay population is much larger, since the census didn’t provide an opportunity for single homosexuals to identify their sexual orientation, and didn’t count gay couples who live apart. There are no legitimate reasons why homosexuals should not have the same rights as heterosexuals. Many countries such as the United States disgraces itself when it “[…] accepts homosexuality as a sufficient cause for deprivation of normal civil rights […]”. If a homosexual is a citizen of any country in the world, they should receive the same rights as all other citizens, regardless of their sexual orientation. Gay men and lesbians deserve the right to marry, too not be discriminated against, and to be in the military. Marriage is ever changing.
