As human beings, we do enjoy a certain amount of freedom regarding our various choices in life. Example, what we choose to become, what we choose to study, what we choose to do and such, also, who we choose to marry.
Considering the general case, the question of who we want to marry is a socially acceptable interrogation and is susceptible to intrusion by many near and far in your choices. Now, this is the common case, what about those special and exceptional cases which always seem to hide behind the backdrop. It’s not because of a choice that these cases exist.

It’s time the world understands they exist just because of the same reason everyone else do.
Gay marriages are now a rising issue in the world. Many countries are welcoming this but few are still in rejection. Most recently added to the list was India, which has already sparked a widespread of disagreement from everyone across the nation – both the ones who rule and the ones who are ruled.
Many of the countries included are:
Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark France, Iceland, Netherlands, NewZealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Uruguay) and several sub-national jurisdictions (parts of Mexico and the United States). A law has been passed by the United Kingdom, effective in England and Wales, which will be fully in force on 29 March 2014.
Israel is completely fine with same sex marriage performed in other countries but doesn’t allow anything like that in its own soil.
Australia even though is against same sex marriage across the country, in 2013, had opened to same sex marriages just in its capital for a few days which got banned later. Several couples who married at that time now stand unwed.

The main debate on this critical issue relates to health concerns, rules and regulations, social concerns, parenting, laws, etc., It is however a valid point of approach but it does create a lot of discrimination and social inequality which can ultimately affect the stability of the nation creating sides – the one which supports and one which doesn’t.
At the current state of affairs, there is a rising support for LGBT rights across the world. It is not only supported by the people but also many organizations.
For example, The American Psychological Association stated in 2004:

For example, The American Psychological Association stated in 2004:
The institution of civil marriage confers a social status and important legal benefits, rights, and privileges. ... Same-sex couples are denied equal access to civil marriage. ... Same-sex couples who enter into a civil union are denied equal access to all the benefits, rights, and privileges provided by federal law to married couples ... The benefits, rights, and privileges associated with domestic partnerships are not universally available, are not equal to those associated with marriage, and are rarely portable ... Denial of access to marriage to same-sex couples may especially harm people who also experience discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity, disability, gender and gender identity, religion, and socioeconomic status ... the APA believes that it is unfair and discriminatory to deny same-sex couples legal access to civil marriage and to all its attendant benefits, rights, and privileges.
It is too early to however come to a definitive conclusion on this matter. Governments across the world are continuing their debates and has come into the spotlight.
It would be fascinating to also know that two men were officially married to each other by church in Spain in 1061 AD.
