So if you are saying that gay marriage should not be allowed to marry based on moral issues, you are in essence saying that morally it is worse to be a homosexual than to be a rapist, murderer, or child molester. It is this kind of thinking that has held society back. Still others would argue that due to divorce and cohabitation the institution of marriage is already in a weakened state. They view allowing legal gay marriage as the potential straw that is going to break marriages back. I would acknowledge marriage does not have the same prevalence and level of commitment it held in past generations but the decline of marriage has nothing to do with homosexuals.
For Gay Marriage Andrew Sullivan’s article “For Gay Marriage” is an excerpted from Sullivan’s 1995 book, Virtually Normal: An Argument About Homosexuality, and reprinted by Behrens and Rosen (404 – 407). This paper provides a summary of Sullivan’s controversial article on this timely and long-fought civil rights issue. “For Gay Marriage” highlights the moral, philosophical and legal arguments surrounding the issue of denying marriage to homosexual and lesbian Americans. More importantly, it highlights the moral, philosophical and legal arguments in favor of gay marriage, which Sullivan clearly supports. Although Sullivan clearly supports gay marriage, his article is an insightful piece that provides a respectful look at various views of this philosophically and emotionally-charged subject, while providing a sound intellectual argument in favor of gay marriage.
A Critique of William Bennett’s “Against Gay Marriage” The issue of homosexuals in our society is becoming more of a debate. The debate is no longer whether we should accept them, but rather, should they be legally recognized. Gay marriage should not be legalized because of its effect it would have on society. William Bennett’s article “Against Gay Marriage” was originally published in the Washington Post and highlights the negative effects of gay marriage on our society. Bennett wrongfully believes that homosexual and heterosexual unions are not comparable; however, if we change the definition of marriage, our society’s understanding of marriage would be irreconcilably ruined.
Liberating Marriage and Partnership “Feminism Is for Everybody – Passionate Politics” by the author bell hooks is a feminist view on the struggles and chal-lenges that the feminist movement encounters. It also takes into account the presence of men within the movement. An argument that hooks continuously makes throughout the book, is that femi-nism is only possible if men and women both believe in and help fight for the feminist cause together. In chapter fourteen, “Liberating Marriage and Partnership” hooks provides her point of view and analysis of the equality in marriage and the liberation of sexuality. At the beginning of the chapter, the first thing she states is that “marriage was harshly critiqued” (hooks, 78) At the peak of the movement many heterosexual women began to make their entrance.
In a world where an average couple is believed to be a man and a woman, a pair of the same gender can raise a few eyebrows. Gay couples are forced to maintain their love under the radar while couples of the same gender flaunt their love publicly. This is unfair and it is urgent that the country becomes modernized and accepts that love comes in all shapes and sizes. It is now that we shall celebrate gay marriage. A couple of years ago, a marriage amendment was proposed but failed to pass in Congress.
Love is not something only between male and female but all of the people, no matter he or she, young and old. First, it is about the birth of desire showed in speech of Aristophance. Next, it will be focus on dialogue between Diotima and Socrates about what is Love and sane-sex love. Third, it is about Michel Foucault idea of true sex using Alexina as a case. The birth of desire according to Aristophanes is due to the lack.
Homosexuals Should Be Able To Marry. Able To Marry 2 Due to the numerous contentious disputes that have arisen in the I do support gay marriage, I do believe that domestic companionship should allowed for gay and lesbians, giving a person the liberty to court and share their love with whomever they so choose, but the blessedness of marriage shouldn’t only persist exclusively between man and woman. Homosexuals should have the same rights to marry the person that they love. "We cannot accept the view that Amendment 2's prohibition on specific legal protections does no more than deprive homosexuals of special rights. To the contrary, the amendment imposes a special disability on those persons alone.

Kligerman 54). Islam considers homosexual acts to be sinful as well as a crime that should be punishable by law. During the medieval Islamic era when legal jurists of Sunni Islam or mainstream Islam arose, they debated on the
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. What ever happened to separation of church and state? Opponents of homosexual marriage feel that by allowing gay and lesbians the right to marriage undermines the traditional definition of marriage.
Personally, I believe that homosexuals should be granted the same rights as heterosexual couples. As someone said, “marriage is a basic human right. You cannot tell people they cannot fall in love.” While he said this in reference to marriage between races, the same can be said about homosexuals. Who are we to allow some people to get married, and tell others they cannot. As a nation, we have no right to take
