Same-Sex Marriage: A Far Fetched Dream or Reality?

During the latter half of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries, homosexuality has become a contentious issue. Since homosexuality is so divisive, much of the discussion has focused on whether it is a choice, a condition, or even a criminal offence. The debate has been rife with a variety of viewpoints. Every person’s dream in the modern world and throughout history has been to get married and start a family. To be so deeply ingrained in society and demanded of everyone, marriage has been exclusive to specific groups of people since its inception. Every time a group of people is allowed or denied the right to marry, war is conducted between public policy, religion, and social expectations.
