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
How would you feel if someone randomly approached to you and tell you “you’re gay”? Yes, you, like me or everyone else in this classroom, would definitely be angry and baffled because you take that comment as condescending. It generally means stupid or weird, but as you all may know, the word “gay” stands up for something else as well – a homosexual person. Homosexuality, (or bisexuality inclusive), has been the key word for ethical, religious, social, or any kinds of debate in the United States in the recent years. Despite such rapid development of human beings and extensive globalization, our view towards people who are different from us still remains narrow and conservative.
Transgender is something that difficult to be accepted because the act is in violation of existing law. Transgender people damage faith self and giving a bad example to people about their perspectives. Although we find these groups do not interfere with other people's lives, their actions give a negative value to society. We should be aware of this growing culture and society as a cultural practice that this matter should be contained eastern may violate other religions. The second effect is Make society feel afraid of them.
Baby steps such as legalizing gay marriage and racial profiling would eventually lead up to more direct laws to protect people against prejudice. And because the law applies to everyone and enforced, it cannot be ignored therefore will eventually be accepted society, removing prejudice from the picture. Any resistance against the law will be passing... fleeting and when people see it as a loss of freedom, it is not. As it liberates us from restrains such as discrimination that constantly holds us back. Initial rebellion and arguments against such laws will not last long and is a short term pain for a long term gain.
These factors that many think that could be adversarial are race, gender, sexual orientation, and pedigree. Those people believe that all those components will be a problem to some who think that just working hard is enough to become successful. Although many people such as Horatio Alger, the author of “Ragged Dick”, have different opinions on how an individual can accomplish something in life, everyone achieves success differently. For most citizens of America, they believe that they must work hard to achieve what they want in life. Some do not think that any other factors such as race or social economic status can affect the outcome of an individual’s life.
I found this very interesting; culture is really in every part of our lives, right down to how we move through the world. Also during this particular part of the reading I thought about maybe this is another reason that people are not as accepting of gay and lesbian individuals – because they move and behave against what culturally they should. I think for gay men because they are comfortable expressing emotions and move in a sometimes more feminine manner that culturally they are going against the normal and that might be just another reason that it is so hard for some people to accept something that is so completely different to what they are used

As more people “came out of the closet” gays and lesbians are becoming more socially accepted. They currently are battling for equality in a variety of areas. Even though the number of children adoptions would increase, No, gay and lesbians couples should not be allowed to adopt kids. It has been research and it’s said that it confuses children about gender roles and expectations of society. The gay and lesbians lifestyle is not something to be encouraged, as a lot of research shows it leads to a much lower life expectancy, psychological disorders, and other problems.
Opponents of homosexual marriage feel that by allowing gay and lesbians the right to marriage undermines the traditional definition of marriage. However, as society changes and the demands of the American citizens change, there needs to be changes that comply with not only the traditional society but also with modern needs of the United States people. Not only are homosexual couples being denied marriage rights but also adoption rights in several states. There would be no harm to society by allowing homosexuals the right to marriage or to legally adopt; the positive impacts it would have on society are far greater then the negative effects. Homosexuals should get the same rights as any other United States citizen.
Though not completely tolerated nor accepted, society today has familiarized itself with the idea of same sex relationships. In order to become more at ease, however, homosexuals had to endure a series of events such as the Stone Wall Riots, discrimination in groups and clubs, and personal hate geared towards the gay community. Homosexuals have gone through years of being ridiculed and discriminated against. Perhaps the most memorable and eye opening event in the history of the gay and lesbian community were the Stone Wall Riots. Prior to 1965, gay and lesbian bars were subject to constant raids in cities across the United States.
