The Defense of Marriage Act Violates the Civil Liberties of Same Sex Couples

Marriage is a religious and legal commitment between the two, and the expression of ultimate love. However, under the Marriage Protection Act, the federal government does not allow marriage between homosexual couples. Essentially, the right to marry their citizens is bound by them. The influence of the majority of Christians in federal policies and legislation is one of the most important reasons why gay marriage was not accepted in the United States for a long time. In the past few decades, gay labor unions have become the forefront of American politics, but history proved that this is a matter of many years.

This is another example. The right to marry is citizen's freedom, gay marriage is a matter of civic rights. If a couple (same sex or opposite sex) is refused marriage permission, the court clerk decides not to issue marriage permission, so their civil liberties are violated. However, if the clerk only refuses marriage permission to the couple of LGBT, it is an infringement of civil rights.

Gay marriage (also called homosexual marriage) is marriage of homosexual couples performed in folklore or religious ceremonies. The term equality of marriage means the political position that gay marriage and homosexual couple's marriage are considered legally equal. As of 2018, same-sex marriage has been implemented and approved in the following countries (domestic or partial). Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay . In addition, Armenia, Estonia and Israel have allowed marriage with same-sex partners that are effectively signed in other countries. Gay marriage will soon be recognized and will be recognized in Austria, Costa Rica, Taiwan.

Prior to the legalization of same-sex marriage, the 2010 citizen partnership and certain co-ownership and compliance laws allowed the same-sex couples to join a civic partnership. The law came into effect on January 1, 2011, and couple between same-sex gave citizen's marriage similar unequal rights and responsibilities. On 22 May 2015, Ireland made a national referendum. The referendum suggested strengthening the "Irish constitution". "Marriage can be signed by two people regardless of gender, by law." The proposal was approved and 62% of voters endorse same-sex marriage. On August 29, 2015 Ireland President Michael Higgins signed a national referendum bill in May and Ireland became the world's first country to approve gay marriage in a referendum. Gay marriage was officially approved in Ireland on November 16, 2015
