In response to Katha Pollitt’s passage on “What’s
Wrong with Gay Marriage?”, I find that people are seriously obsessed with the
whole concept of marriage and pass through some complicated legal term in order
to acquire such title or label that they are officially married. Why do people
hope to gain through marriage? Do they want marriage in order to have some
legal document to show others that they are legally bonded together that if
they were to cheat on others, they need to face some legal procedure such as
divorced and split their property? I guess marriage is more than simply dating
like couples that it provides security to couple. To legally split responsibility
of their wealth and kids if they were to have one, married couple can go
through legal term if they were to have conflicts. Marriage is more than simply
a testimony of eternal love and bond between people. It all comes down to
money. I guess this is some issue regarding to why homosexual people are trying
to fight for their right to get married. Living together as couple can easily
turn to strangers the very next day. If they have kids, either side of the
couple can easily walk away without taking responsibility. Most of the time,
the lady would have to take care of the kids and the man would simply go away
to find new dates. By marrying, women are better protected.
