When talking about homosexual vs. heterosexual unions, they are comparable in all ways; however, legalizing them together would cause irrevocable damage to our already weak view of the institution of marriage. Our young generation is in a time where they are being told how to speak and sometimes think, and societal indifference to gay marriage would further confuse our youths who already find their sexuality hard. It is very important that we continue to take strides toward accepting homosexual unions; however, legalizing gay marriage is not a necessary step for that to
According to the teachings of Christianity sexual desire was only useful within the sanctity of marriage. If sexuality activity is practiced for other reasons than reproduction, then it would be considered a sin. Homosexuality, masturbation, and the use of birth control would be considered the opposition of God's plan and morally wrong. This view is often classified as conservative and very strict. However it is the foundation of debates regarding the moral status of a large number of sexual acts – the latent stigma still attached to homosexuality is a prime example of the influence of the theological standpoint on sexual desires.

Some men find it difficult to ask their partners to wear a condom because it raises feelings of insecurity and infidelity in the relationship.

Scientist are still researching if humans are born gay, however, according to American Psychiatric Association (APA) “Sexual orientation emerges for most people in early adolescence without any prior sexual experience. And some people report trying very hard over many years to change their sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual with no success. For these reasons, psychologists do not consider sexual orientation for most people to be a conscious choice that can be voluntarily changed” (Association, 2000). Even if you are not born gay, if you do not choose the way you are then there shouldn’t be anyone out there telling American citizens that they are denied the same rights as others. One main issue with homosexuals not receiving the same rights as heterosexuals is the lack of benefits.
Introduction Homosexuality has been a topic of debate for centuries. Some people still strongly believe that homosexuality has some cultural, social, and political backgrounds. The existence of such myths could be attributed to lack of researches on the subject and ignorance on gender specific roles and traits. It seems that different cultures observe the trait of homosexuality in extremely different ways since few researches have been performed to explore the contributory factors to this trait. The rights of homosexuals are gradually turning out to be equivalent to those of heterosexuals in the United States.
Homosexuality is unnatural because it disregards the natural use of sex organs of men and women.

With mistranslation, misconception, and misleadingness, there may be a chance that homosexuality is not an act of abomination. What is homosexuality?
Homosexual Marriage: Society, Rights, and Adoption The United States is denying good people a better life based on sexual orientation. Acceptance of homosexual marriage is a major issue in today’s society. This is a civil issue, and the United States needs to start realizing that they are denying marriage rights to homosexuals because of moral reasons.

However, the main cause of HIV in gay men is not solely having sex with other men, but rather UNPROTECTED sex with an HIV positive partner. Upon discovering this, “many gay men have changed their behaviour to avoid unprotected anal intercourse with casual partners or with those whose HIV status is unknown to them” (Canadian AIDS Society, 2012). Assuming that every gay man has had unprotected sex with another man is misguided and wrong. A large number of
While the main reason people in the US seem to get married is out of love, it is by no means the only reason (Kellard). One of the arguments against gay marriage is the idea presented by Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. Therefore, much of the opposition to same-sex marriage is rooted in the Bible. But when did the Bible become the basis for the laws of a country that accepts every religion?
