Gay marriage is protected by the Constitution’s commitments to liberty and equality. Does banning this rite follow suit with the Constitution’s commitment? It is also protected by the Due Process Clause. It makes one consider how Proposition 8 was approved. Gays are a minority group just as African-American’s and other various religious and ethnic groups; the others are allowed to marry, even interracially or with different religious preferences.
Lauren Adams Melissa Helton English 102 2 February 2012 Summary of A. Sullivan’s “For Gay Marriage” & W. Bennett’s “Against Gay Marriage”. Andrew Sullivan and William J. Bennett have very different opinions about legalizing gay marriage. Sullivan suggests it should be legal, but Bennett argues that it would ruin everything marriage stands for in America. In his book Virtually Normal: An Argument about Homosexuality (1995), former New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan argues that not having gay marriage is a violation of equality. He points out that he is not referring to religious traditions but suggests, in a public institution, marriage should be available to any two citizens.

Heterosexuals and Homosexuals should have the same rights to marry the person that they love. These rights and responsibilities apply to only male-female couples from the 1996 Defense of Marriage Acts. Larger benefits when married can include Medicaid, property tax, income tax as well as joint family rights. Gays and Lesbians should have the same rights as Heterosexual to marry, however the Supreme Court still has not granted the same right? In denying same-sex partners the right to marry the government of the United States is discriminating against them in their ability to access the social, legal, and economic benefits available exclusively to lawfully married couples.
Legalizing gay marriage would contradict the supreme law of the land, The Constitution. Marriage has been a concept for more than five millennia. The abolishing of its core values and rituals undermines the culture of the world in general. If gay marriage is legalized, it could open up arguments for other types of abnormal marriages to become legal, too. Saying two people of the same sex that are “in love” should be able to marry is practically the same as saying polygamy should be allowed on the basis that three people can be “in love.” As a society, we can agree that incest is harmful, and therefore refuse members of the same family the privilege of marriage.
English 1302 March 22, 2013 Gay Marriages and Family Values At the very heart of the debate about same-sex marriage is the definition of the word "marriage". To some people, it changes to meet social and economic needs, to others it remains firmly fixed. In traditional cultures of Asia, arranged marriages are the rule. Marriages are designed to further the well-being of families, not the individuals involved. Marriages are seen as a matter of ancestors, descendants, and property.
