In my opinion, I agree with the same sex marriage. This is because there is a different type of sexual orientation. Last semester I took the biology class, which taught me that sexual orientation could be affected by hormones. “Hormones are special chemical messengers in the body that are created in the endocrine glands. These messengers control most major bodily functions, from simple basic needs, like hunger to complex systems like reproduction, and even the emotions and mood” (Hormone Health Network, n.d). Generally, males have more androgens (male hormone) than estrogens (female hormone), and females on the contrary. This is the reason why people are attracted by the opposite sex. However, special cases, which make males have more estrogens or females have more androgens are existing. Therefore, their sexual orientations might be affected. For example, a male who has more androgens would have more interest in other males. This situation had a long time history. In the past few centuries, these special cases also existed, but they were defined as “heterodoxies” at that time. Therefore, they are afraid of recognizing their sexual orientation. Now, the Supreme Court established marriage equability for same sex couples in June 2015. Before this, there were only 12 states allow same sex couples to marry. I think highly of this decision makes a great development of respecting sexual orientation diversity. People should not be biased by their personal sexual orientations. Therefore, they have right to have their same sex marriage.
For another, I want to talk about adoption by same sex couples. Within our lecture, it mentioned there are many states allowed same sex couples to adopt or foster child(ren). This is good because same sex couples cannot give birth to their own child. However, do you think additional eligibilities for same sex couples are needed when child welfare agencies are assessing their application for adoption or foster? Last week, many students discussed that children’s behaviors and thinking are affected by their parents easily. I heard about some people change their sexual orientations, because they are sexist or have sexual bias. For example, a female likes to date or marry with female, because she hates males. This is not a common thing, but this is really happening. I just realize that a child might have negative emotional thinking after he/she join in a foster family which members have sexual bias. So I want to know your opinion about the adoption by same sex couples.
