This scene shows how being homosexual during the 50's, was a problem to society because it just wasn’t “right” to everyone around them. During this time it made it seem like because you were gay it made you less of a man. It was just a shame how ignorant and uneducated people were and what they thought during those times. The thoughts and reactions towards interracial relationships during those times were stupid and ridiculous. And in someone berating their boyfriend or girlfriend, people have arguments and I feel its best that others keep themselves out of relationships they aren’t involved in.
They have arranged marriages rather than marrying freely to whom you ever you desire. Marriage and tradition play a huge role in the short story “Marriage Is a Private Affair” by Chinua Achebe, where we have the main character Nnaemeka does not follow his tradition and therefore is an outcast in his own tribe. Marriage and tradition bump heads throughout the story which causes pain, rejection, and neglect. When Nnaemeka tells his father that he is going to get married his father is in total disbelief and does not agree with his son’s choice. Nnaemeka marries out of tradition, where the father chooses who he wants his son to marry.
The view that ‘Cousin Kate’ shows the double standards between men and women during the 19th century in the quote “The neighbours… call me an outcast thing.” The fact the neighbours call the narrator an ‘outcast thing’ yet there is no mention of what they call the Lord shows how even though the Lord has done exactly the same thing as the narrator, he is not seen as an outcast because there were different expectations for women than men and in the Victorian age, women were definitely not expected to have sex before marriage and this was greatly frowned upon in society, yet for men this was different entirely and they were not completely judged for having sex before marriage as women were, further displaying the double standards shown in this time. Although you could support the view that the poem highlights the double standards between men and
This racial language is disgusting and should not be said by a young boy, but it goes to show that Ben has inherited some of his mother’s racism. On the other hand Daisy is extremely hurt and distressed by Ben’s language towards her. Her innocent mind cannot comprehend why Ben would say such a thing, even if he was purely influenced by his mother. Mrs Preedy is very involved in her son’s life and prevents him from making his own decisions because of her racial views. She made it impossible for him to become friends with Daisy only because of her coloured skin tone.
“The Stigma and harm caused by denying committed lesbian and gay couples the choice to marry fuels a vicious cycle.” (U.S. Study) Herdt primarily wants to inform us that denying people something they want causes not only anger, sadness and or misery, but also changes the way people think about the world that we as Americans live in today. Often times when people are denied something they want the first reaction is anger. Anger and hate are what fuel destruction; however the supporters you think you have may turn against you at any given time as shown here. “Nothing so homophobic has ever been enacted into law into this nation’s history.

The American Civil Liberties Union are filing in lawsuits against other states who are preventing gay adoption and foster care in order to get people to accept homosexuals for who they are and give them the same respect that is given to them. However, others would disagree and some become a little weary of this because the children who are adopted could suffer great repercussions of prejudice if the child is bought up by the same sex couples. As a result of this the government take away most rights from the children of same-sex couples. Therefore, this causes outburst as it is directly injustice to children because they do not get chose who their parents are. It is completely absurd that innocent children are being denied basic rights due to the sexual orientation of their parents in today’s society.
Why do I believe homosexuals should be able to marry? I believe homosexuals should have the right to marry because my friend dad is a homosexuals and for years he was being tortured and ridiculed because of his decision to be a homosexual. In the past the government did not allow gay marriages or allow homosexuals the same benefits as a one man and one woman marriage. Religion is one of the main reasons some people do not like the idea of homosexuals having the right to marry. One of the common arguments about the issue is God says” that same-sex interactions like marriage are an abomination”.
Television shows this day in age have to be careful who they talk about and offend. “Family Guy” is not one of those shows. A poll the show did as a part as an episode shows that a great number of people don’t like the show.
