The Issue on Same-Sex Marriage

The age-specific mortality rates for homosexual and bisexual men were significantly higher than the mortality rates for all men aged 30 to 44 years. The average life expectancy for homosexuals and bisexual men at the age of 20 were 34.0 to 46.3 years old, 3% and 9%, respectively. These are the average life expectancy of all 20-year-old men under 54.3 years. Homosexuals and bisexual men have a chance of 20 to 65 years, varying from 32% in the 3% scenario to 59% in the 9% scenario. These figures are much lower than all men, and the average life expectancy of 78 to 65 years old is 78%. "(Hog, Strassy, ​​Clear, Oshany, Montternell).

Since the first public opinion poll of the American people on this issue in 1988, the public opinion of homosexual marriage in the United States has undergone a fundamental change. The issue of gay marriage has not yet been raised in public debate. In the 1950s, no political problems occurred until the 1970s. According to Nate Silver, statistician of public opinion survey integrator FiveThirtyEight, from 1988 to April 2009, the same-sex marriage support rate rose from 1% to 1.5% annually from April 2009 to August 2010 It increased by 4%. . The Pew Research Center conducted a poll from May 21, 2008 to May 25, 2008, revealed that most Americans did not object to gay marriage for the first time, and dissented opinion was 49 It decreased to%. In the CNN / Pot opinion poll conducted from August 6, 2010 to August 10, 2010, 52% account for the first time most Americans support same-sex marriage.

Called equality of marriage, the other called it a "redefined" marriage. The problem of legitimization of same-sex marriage has been developing for many years. Gay marriage and its legalization began in the case of the "Baker v. Nelson" Supreme Court case, which got marriage permission of a couple in Minnesota State in 1972. The couple eventually brought their problem to court, but the Supreme Court claimed that the staff were allowed to refuse homosexual couples, so their trial was rejected.

In April 2005, two pairs of same-sex couples filed a lawsuit against New Brunswick State Government seeking delivery of a same-sex marriage license. This was approved in June 2005. Sir Bernard, Senior Progressive Conservative Prime Minister of New Brunswick, personally promised to abide the same sexual marriage and observe instructions to the court or parliament to provide a gay marriage. On 20 May 2005, a homosexual male couple and daughter filed a lawsuit seeking marriage in the Northwest Territories. Charles dent consular affairs minister states that the government does not oppose such a case before. This case will be heard on May 27, but it will be terminated when the federal government legalizes homosexual marriage.

Many homosexual couples get married in a state that allows same-sex marriage. Previously, these marriages were effective in countries where same-sex marriage was equal, but are not approved by the US federal government because the Federal Marriage Protection Act (DOMA) clearly defines marriage as a union between men and women did. However, eligibility rules for benefits vary from federal agency. Some institutions, such as the US Citizenship Immigration Services, the US Internal Revenue Service, and the US General Affairs Bureau, recognize all valid gay marriages regardless of where the same-sex couples live. Even if you live in a state that does not accept gay marriage, all legally married same-sex couples qualify for either immigration eligibility, federal tax incentives, or federal employee benefits is
