y benefits would come about from the legalization of gay marriage. Marriage is stability that is good for a society. Children need a stable environment so that they are well adjusted. Couples tend to be happy in long-term relationships. Isaacson adds that when a person gets old, ill, or depressed it is nice to have someone who will take care of them so they are not alone. Furthermore, Isaacson does not want to forget the real benefits that come with marriage.For example, legal rights, tax benefits, insurance benefits, inheritance, and voice in medical treatment or funeral arrangements. He feels that gay love is not respected. Society does not care whether gays have relationships or families. Isaacson wants to send a message to the world that gay love is just as meaningful as straight love.I believe that same sex marriages should be legalized. The gay community has every right to marry and be part of the society. I can understand why the liberationists think that marriage will take a piece of their individuality away. However, marriage is a very bold statement especially between two women or two men. The conservatives should not marry just to be part of the society. They should marry because they love their partner enough to spend the rest of their lives together. The gay community will always have their own culture and they need not worry about it disappearing. I agree with Isaacson that same sex marriage will benefit the gay community and society. They should be proud and have the rest of society see how different and important they are....
