Some people argue that gay marriage is a trend that might negatively affect society. Controversially, some others believe that same-sex marriages are natural and people have the right to choose this kind of marriage. This essay discusses why gay marriage should not be defined as a trend but regarded as a people's right, thus a legal marriage.

During the last few years, several arguments arose against or in favor of same-sex marriage. For decades, people believed that gay people should not be allowed to get married as it was considered against the traditional image of a family. For example, same-sex people wouldn't be able to love and care for a child as a traditional family could. The belief behind this thought is related to the patriarchal educational concept that a child needs to grow in the presence of a mother and a father. Thus, same-sex relations are considered unnatural by some people. Considering the definition of love and what caring for someone involves, it isn't indicated that same-sex people cannot feel and express love for each other and care for someone. Love is a feeling that transcends gender. As such, people have the right to love and get married.

Hence, due to the presence of such a patriarchal belief in most of the world's countries, gay marriage isn't a legal right yet. In a world where people express the need to be more democratic, politically correct, and free from bias and discrimination, same-sex marriage should be globally legalized. As such, a change of mindset might be needed. for example, people should begin to see marriage as an expression of love rather than a right and moral action to procreate.

In conclusion, while same-sex marriage may merely be a social fad for some, it is a natural expression of love for others. Hence, marriage ought to be legal regardless of a person's gender or sexual orientation. Governments ought to encourage and sanction same-sex unions.
