I still remember the three kinds of people described by Plato in "The Country Banquet": men, women and bisexual people. Plato believed that in order to strangle the power of human beings, God cut people in two, and then began to search for the other half in human life. Then there were three combinations of men, women and men. So in Plato's view, whether heterosexual or homosexual, they are normal forms.
The philosopher of ancient Greece really has true wisdom. He accepted homosexuality long ago. Look at me, as a person with strong ethics, we are really behind. Perhaps as the homosexuals have said: we just like a person, not his gender, so men like men and women like women, just as men and women like each other, it is completely acceptable.
In the past, homosexuals were buried "underground" and dare not reveal it. The main reason is, of course, the fear of public opinion. However, perhaps it is deep in love that more and more homosexuals dare to "come out", and even those stars are no longer taboo, such as Zhang Guorong, Huang Yaoming, Lin Baoyi, Cai Kangyong. They all choose to put their love on the table. So, from the past secret to the present public, how should homosexual love and even marriage be treated?
If same-sex marriage wants to be more "bright", it still needs to be legalized. Some states such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa and the United States have legalized same-sex marriage, but in the mainstream society of our country, homosexuals are still treated in a different way, and some even call them "patients". Li Yinhe, a sociologist, submitted the proposal for same-sex marriage to the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress three times, and the result was futile. So it seems that the environment of same-sex marriage is still a little embarrassing, at least in China.
In the world, the practice of tolerating same-sex marriage has proved that same-sex marriage does not harm human morality and ideological understanding, and other functions have no essential difference from heterosexual marriage except that it does not have the function of population reproduction. There are also two benefits of tolerating same-sex marriage. First, because of same-sex love, especially the care, support and help between lovers, homosexuals can get effective psychological support, thus reducing the occurrence of social problems; Second, because same-sex marriage is based on voluntariness, it can be well self disciplined, thus effectively curbing the occurrence and spread of sexually transmitted diseases, especially AIDS.
The same-sex marriage has changed from the topic that people despised in the past to the topic that people can't get around; They have been regarded as ordinary people from their morbid state, which in itself is the progress of society. With the increasing diversity of social life and the gradual improvement of human democratic consciousness, it is believed that more and more people will understand, tolerate and recognize same-sex marriage. In current China, it is impossible to legalize and open same-sex marriage immediately. But we believe that, like the discrimination that once happened to left-handed people, the day of concept change will surely come. So, to change the concept of homosexuals and change the view of same-sex marriage, let's start with us.
