Should Korea Restrict a Homosexual Marriage?

Should Korea Restrict a Homosexual Marriage?

     A homosexual marriage is the freedom of the individual, but Korea restricts it . In my opinion, Korea should legalize it for three reasons. First, homosexual marriage is legality in constitution. According to Article 36 of the Constitution, marriage and family life should constitute the basis of individual dignity and equality of gender and maintain, also nation guarantees it. 'Gender' in this constitution means man or woman, just not man and woman. It means constitution allows not only heterosexual marriage but also homosexual marriage. Constitution is prior to all other laws, so Korea legalizes homosexual marriage. Second, homosexual couples have problem that heterosexual couples do not have. They aren't allowed basic human right like property, inheritance and so on. They need couple's report of marriage for basic human right, but Korea shouldn't recognize their marriage. '김조광수-김승환' couple, open homosexual couple, also shouldn't get recognition. They took legal action against report of marriage in 2013, but the court shouldn't judge the trial yet. Third, many people said "homosexual marriage reduces birth rate," so they insist that Korea shouldn't legalize it. It's right that gay couples can't get pregnant, but homosexual marriage don't reduces birth rate. According to KBS Broadcast Culture Research, the number of homosexual per the total population is 1.9%. Maybe homosexual couples are smaller than that. The birth rate decrease because of the average number of children per household, not homosexual marriage. According to National Statistical Office, the average number of children per household in Seoul is 0.968. It means hetero couples don't give birth well. Beside, lesbian couples can give birth through a sperm bank. According to NEWSKOREA, lesbian couple gave birth quintuplets[1] through artificial insemination in Australia. As a result, Korea has no occasion to restrict homosexual marriage and should legalize it in the near future.
