Now gay people a crucial element for entertainment. When it comes to beauty and culture, they are the experts. They know those things better than men, and better than women.

NGO that is related to this issue
The International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) is an international non-profit, non-governmental organization that strives for the equity for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people. ILGA tries to achieve this goal by supporting programs and protest actions, asserting diplomatic pressure, providing information and working with international organizations and the international media.
ILGA keeps their group running by the donation and the membership fees. From the ILGA website, people can make a donation to ILGA, and they can join ILGA as well. ILGA currently has more than 400 member groups from around 90 countries across the world. ILGA member groups range from small collectives to national groups and entire cities.
ILGA seems like an organisation that is open to everyone who is interested in equality for LGBT people. But my interest towards the equity for LGBT people isn't that high so I probably would never consider joining this group.

Partners must be evidently asking for a family.
In any adoption/surrogacy law, a couple has to be married to get officialized as parents.
If you live in a society, you may eventually want to form a family?
As long as you would like to marry him/her, are you considering a baby, hopefully the one whose blood is mixed by you two?
Well, that's an understandable dream.
There are two major opinions about matrimony; marriage should be between the two love birds, or shared in both families and the society to which they belong. I think the latter is more rational and logical. I also believe, one of the anchors pulling back our anti-gay marriage concept is the fear of shaking our current social structure.
Allowing gay marriege, what may come next? What would happen to their offsprings? Are we torelate enough not to discard them, disgrace them, or otherwise victimize them?
If we are not ready for the considerable anxiety, what could we do to be ready??

Gay marriage
“Homosexuals should be treated equally.” Most people would agree with this statement. Most people would agree that homosexuals should have the same rights in education, employment, politics, etc. Yet gay marriage is forbidden in many countries because of the religious issues, social issues, cultural issues etc. Where is this contradiction coming from?
Why is gay marriage banned? What are we trying to achieve by doing this? It's not like banning gay marriage will decrease the number of homosexuals. Because homosexual people doesn't choose be homosexuals, they are just born that way. Banning gay marriage just makes homosexuals suffer, and also it reinforces the negative thought held by people towards homosexuals. It may be impossible for all human beings to have the equal right, but in my opinion, at least marriage should be equal for everyone so people can marry the person they love the most.
This blog puts its focus on homosexual rights including marriage, adoption, or surrogating motherhood. Since the last two may come after forming matrimony, we set our topic as "Gay Marriage."
