I have a good news. Per societal standards and recommendations, I am considering proposing to my partner to marry me
Congrats! Which standards are you referring to?
The way society sees traditional way of getting married between man and woman. I do not want to be seen as alien in between
You should only get married for your own personal satisfaction and that of your partner.
Well, marriage is socially recognized union between two sexes, and societal approval plays essential part in how my status is determined in it
Marriage can be a union between same sexes or opposite sexes. Both are accepted by society anyway
I think there are still stigmas around same-sex marriage, and most people do not see marriage complete in this way
Some people do not see it that way because they were taught to be hateful and to think that their way is the only way
I hope people would overcome the stigmas that were a result of social construct and accept one another as they are, and not as they are expected to be
I hope for that one day too
