Therefore, some cultures are not allowing gays to get marry, but I firmly think that if people choose to live in a liberal country, they should be able to allow gays to get marry as well.


Does the sentense above correct....plz help me look at it ...thxxx

You can say "marry" or "get married" in your sentence, but not "get marry." Otherwise, your sentence is fine.

It's better to use simple present tense with "allow" here:

...some cultures do not allow gays to get married....
