Being in love is the most beautiful emotion any human can ever feel. Over a span of time, a human is loved by many—mother, father, siblings, and, if lucky, even by relatives. But if you are among the luckiest people to walk this earth, you will find someone who will love you through your highs and lows, through your insecurities, even on the worst day of your life—when you feel unlovable, when you doubt yourself, when you believe you are not good enough. That person will stand by your side, telling you that you are worth everything. But can this person be of the same gender? Does love lose its significance, its purity, its innocence when it does not fall into the conventional category of a man loving a woman or a woman loving a man? If you ask me, it does not. In fact, it remains just as pure—maybe even more, but never less. Then why this disgust? Why should we hate someone for simply being in love? Why do we loathe this love? How is it any different from a man falling in love with a woman or a woman falling in love with a man?
If a man loves a woman and they decide to marry, society celebrates their love like a festival. But when two people of the same gender choose love, their love is questioned, even condemned. Many use the term non human relation, but let me tell you, there is nothing more human than love. How can falling in love, finding solace in someone’s presence, and choosing them every day be anything but deeply human?
Same-sex marriage is legally recognized in 38 countries worldwide. The Netherlands was the first to legalize it in 2001, followed by Belgium in 2003, and Spain and Canada in 2005. In Asia, Taiwan led the way in in 2019, with Thailand becoming the first Southeast Asian nation to legalize same-sex marriage in January 2025. Each decision to legalize same-sex marriage is a victory for humanity. With this decision we are not going backward. The world is changing. To those who love someone of the same gender, to those in same-sex marriages, and to those still discovering who they are You do not owe the world an explanation for your happiness. Your relationships are not "different" or "less valid." They are as real, as deep, and as meaningful as any other love story. So if you believe this society won’t accept your love , revolt against it .
