1. INCREASE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN SUCCESSFULLY ADOPTED.

Most adoption agencies discriminate against gay couples and make it incredibly difficult for them to adopt children. Many agencies will only release children to "married" couples, therefore rejecting stable, loving, homosexual parents. By legalizing gay marriage in ALL states, adoption agencies will be forced to grant the same respect and right to homosexual couples. Gay marriage will increase the chances for thousands of foster children to gain loving parents and families.


2. IT WILL DIMINISH YOUTH SUICIDE.

One of the main reasons why teenagers are commit suicide are due to the child being bullied at their school as a result of his/her sexual orientation. The same acceptance that will come about due to legalizing gay marriage will show teens that homosexuality is accepted and respected in society. We need to explain to younger generations that being different is not a social disability, so that they will never feel the need to take their own lives because they are gay.

3. BECAUSE CIVIL UNIONS ARE NOT THE SAME.

Gay couples are legally allowed to enter into civil union partnership.. but this is not nearly the same thing as marriage. Marriage licenses grant innumerable rights to married couples, rights that are not endowed to gay couples in civil unions. It is no excuse to deem that gay marriage is not necessary because "they already have civil unions...why do they want more?" The financial, medical, and social rights that are associated with marriage are unfortunately kept away from homosexual couples.

4. GAY MARRIAGE IS ALREADY A REALITY.

Here in Africa, hundreds of gay couples have already gotten married.Sure, the economic boost is a plus..but the reality is that thousands of gay partners already practice monogamous. loving relationships in Africa. The trouble is that they are not legally protected as married couples, even though their lifestyle mimics marriage! Gays already practice marriage in their homes, so whats wrong with granting the LGBT community the rights they deserve?

5. IT'S AN ISSUE OF EQUAL RIGHTS.

In the 50's, interracial marriage in every continent was illegal. But now, modern society understands this to be an unjust law that denied equal rights to couples who loved each other. The issue of gay marriage is no different. Denying marriage to two individuals who love each other is to deny them a fundamental freedom.

6. NO EFFECT ON THE HETEROSEXUAL COMMUNITY.

Gay Marriage will have no impact whatsoever on heterosexual communities, just as racial integration in the 60's had no negative impact on white communities. This is the same concept with legalization of gay marriage, it will grant the LGBT community a right that has been immorally denied to them.

7. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

One of the major reasons that gay marriage is currently illegal is due to the religious interpretation that " homosexual are sinners." Such a religious perspective should have no place in federal, legal matters in Nigeria. We live in a secular society that maintains secular views. The Ten Commandments do not define our legal system, so why does the religious argument "marriage is the union between a man and a women" keep so many gay couples from becoming legally married? Legalizing gay marriage will have no negative impact on religion and/ or the religious view of others, just as religion should not have any impact on the issue of gay marriage.

what's shítty about my post

Reasons why gay marriage should not be legalised.
1. Increase in the rate of immortality
2. People will still commit suicide because of rejection
3. Nigerians will never accept it.

Let me not waste time on this issue but you know that Nigeria isn't ready for issues like this, it further complicate things.

And the unfortunate aspect is that you reside in the uncivilized part of the world so automatically, you are uncivilized. Don't be a copycat.

Bros. Being civilized is not what you are thinking. Going after every trend from western countries does not "civilize" you. Even when the trend is being projected by riff-raffs self acclaimed civilized folks go after it with full gusto.
Your actions so far refused to "civilize" you.

i don't know what to say.those points you listed are flawed in every bit

I did not see any reasonable point here o...
upon all the beautiful women wey dey this world you sey na your fellow man you wan dey knack.
