He challenges this idea by hypothetically giving a situation where a woman does not want to be stereotyped into a category and does not want to fit in with how gender roles are “supposed” to be.

We all have equal rights, some more so than others. Anna Quindlen a writer for the New York Times wrote an article titled “Evans Two Moms” which pertained to gay and lesbian rights over their heterosexual counterparts. Whether or not you believe in same sex marriages Quindlen allows you to feel some sort of sympathy toward their everyday struggles with judgment, prejudice, and stereotyping. In today’s society it has become more socially acceptable to be a gay man or a lesbian woman, but should elected officials in government offices allow gay couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples?
