marriage Immigration Can Be Challenging For Gays

There haven’t been many rights for gay and lesbian couples in the U.S. lately and their struggle to find their place in the society has endangered the marriage institution in America. Proposition 8, which regulates the ban on same-sex marriage in California is going to be challenged in the Perry v. Schwarzenegger, which will automatically turn it into the most important marital event of the year. It is true that gay Americans are heavily marginalized by the mainstream society, and denying them the right to marry is only one aspect of this deepening problem. Moreover, they do not have what they rightfully deserve and have always been considered second hand citizens. Thus the shame they are doomed to live with renders them vulnerable to all kinds of discrimination and this is fully supported by the government. Probably those who suffer most are children, who are left to feel inferior to their peers because they do not know why their parents are considered imperfect by law. Thus when they grow up and decide to go abroad, they may face serious problems as a Certified Birth Certificate Translation is required by most foreign countries. In many cases this can be confusing and embarrassing as in most other countries gay marriages are not allowed, either.

Same-sex marriage ban is not the only area in which the state is actively engaged in the encouragement of discrimination, but homosexuals seem to be the largest group that faces open prejudice. And though many people have declared that unions are equivalent to marriage, this is not the truth. Recent surveys show that same-sex marriages are accepted by the majority of young Americans. In the TV series “Bliss”, whose rating is continuing to increase, we can observe how the older Americans perceive the alternative family models that are shown through the lives of some families, including gay ones, whose children go to the same local high school. This serial is exceptional because it shows what the attitude of different generations of Americans towards homosexuals is. It is also interesting to view episodes in which some of the same-sex families visit foreign countries and how they find it difficult to prove they are a family even though they show a Marriage License Translation in which their names are recorded as husband and wife.

A teenager and his two divorced gay fathers are the protagonists of another episode of the series. The boy’s peers do not seem to share the same values and make him an outcast, which forces him to go through a lot of struggle. To make matters worse, the boy has to bear the shame of having a man as a mother on one of their trips to Europe when “she” has to show her Notarized and Certified Divorce Decree Translation in proof of her identity. When they came back from abroad the mother was forced to appear in court in order to plead for the right to see her son from the previous relationship, which was quite amuzing. It will always be a good idea for those gays who have decided to marry their partner to weigh the advantages and disadvantages before making this important step, because as it seems the American society still marginalizes them and the laws, which should be changed in the first place, contribute to it a great deal.
