 #Take a stand: Gay marriage should be legalized in Korea

 There are at least 1 million LGBT people contribute daily to life inside and outside the country in a multitude of ways culturally, socially, financially, politically, vocationally, and spiritually.

These contributions can be realized only by legalization of the same-sex marriage. These people should be treated equally regardless of sex, religion, and everything according to the law.

First, improve psychological, physical, and social well-being amongst LGBT people

Same-sex married couple can have stable psychological and social well-being as they can also enjoy the rights and benefits of a normal living inside or outside the Korea. LGBT people can achieve their full potential if given all the rights and freedom just like opposite-sex married couples.

Second, provide economic and business opportunities

The legalization of same-sex marriage in other countries has long been seen to provide an economic boost. Wedding planning is one of the best businesses out there that is on continues rise. Small wedding planning and reception companies in the city can double their customers if same-sex marriage is legalized.

Last, strengthen national and international reputation

Unmarried same-sex couples from countries where same-sex marriage is illegal often find themselves at odds. They tend to have low self-esteem because of lack of recognition. Legalizing same-sex marriage would erase these doubts.
