There are some authors who make arguements about same-sex marriage. Some of them claim it could not be allowed by governments, laws or some defend it has to be legitimize; some see marriage as only male-female relationship, others determine marriage as sharing of love, self-sacrifice, commitment and etc. But the most controversial question is that should same-sex marriage be legally allowed or not.
In my opinion, same-sex marriage should be allowed, because life of homosexuals are private and they are human, so they think, live, breathe like other people. Their private life cannot be questioned by others, so to object to their marriage is meanless. Instead of legitimization of same-sex marriage, the main question has to be that will they be accepted by the rest of society. Many homophobic societies take a dim view to them because of religious and traditional reasons. For instance, in Turkey people are affected by sentences of Quran and in Turkish traditions, men give huge important to horse, WOMAN and gun, so gays are seen like aliens in Turkish society.
But anyway, people have to change their mind, they have to gain more effective education, meet more people and acquire different perspectives. Therefore, they will understand that legitimization of same-sex marriage is not very bigh problem as much as to be objected.

Marriage: Social Association
Marriage is the initial step of the foundation of family, so family has been core of all societies for thousands of years. Furthermore, marriage is the legal way and key for male's and female's doing everything together. Most of today's societies,especially Islamic countries take a dim view of male's and female's living together without marriage and think that this is illegal, having a child without marriage is illegal and don't agree with the ethical values of these societies.. Also, they give huge importance to wedding ceremonies. These ceremonies become frilly and crowded. Therefore, people contribute to the basis of societis, both legitimacy and relevance are provided and these values are imposed to children and adults. To sum up, marriage is the individuals' sharing their lives in legal and ethical ways.
