Blogpost 8: Same Sex Affair!

The same sex relationship is very common issue today for these lgbt people. Of course, when we talk about same sex relationship, it is a relationship between two persons of the same sex and it can categorize in  many forms like from romantic and sexual,to non-romantic close relationships. During the ancient time, there are some of  the historical figures like Socrates, Alexander the Great, Lord Byron, Edward II, Hadrian, Julius Caesar, Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci, Oscar Wilde, Vita Sackville-West, Alfonsina Storni and Christopher Marlowe are into the  love and sexual relationships with their own sex. The so called "male homoerotic" are visible in the art of the ancient greek. Today, In the US same sex relationship is allowed in ten US countries like Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, South Africa, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, Denmark, Argentina, Mexico City and the U.S. states of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, and the District of Columbia. The issue are also found in the art and literature during this ancient time.. I found an site titled " Science of Relationship"  with an interesting article " Will Same-Sex Marriage Reduce Equality in Gay Relationships?" by Justin Lehmiller. the article is all about the how marriage can reduce to these same sex couples. 

The article state that the level of equality for these same sex couple is high compared to these heterosexual couple. Because gay and lesbian couple are romantic partners which both them are share the power with each other and to other things. And the other reason is that it is been historically denied the recognition for these relationship. In the legal marriage, they provide incentives for both partner in adopting a role in their relationship. In most same-sex relationships, both partners must remain employed and sufficient enough in protecting their own interest. and if the relationship end, there is no obligation to do within the partner. However, the availability of same sex marriage may change of all this. I suggest that marriage may allow gay and lesbian partners to adopt more specialized roles within their relationships and as a result, we may see a corresponding drop on some measures of relationship equality as same-sex marriage becomes more widespread.
