Most people wonder why they desire to get married. The reason is the same as anyone who wants to get married to the one whom he or she loves. Homosexuals just want a social right to get married. Two individuals of same sex love each other, why they cannot celebrate this love through the marriage. I think that everyone should have the right to get married no matter if he is homosexual or not.
She is an outstanding citizen in this society. I think she would be a terrific parent, and I resent those who think she is a “bad” person just because she is a lesbian. Many children born into traditional marriages would be far better off being raised by someone like her than by a heterosexual couple in a dysfunctional marriage, but that’s just my opinion. I can understand that many people prefer that gay unions be called something else besides “marriage”, but I don’t have a preference on that matter. Sometimes I wonder what all the hate against gay marriage is all about.
Same Sex Marriage Same sex marriage has been an issue in the United States for a very long time now, and will be a problem for years to come. In the United States Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and the District of Columbia issues marriage licenses to same sex couples. President Obama once said he opposes same sex marriage as a Christian, but is a “fierce advocate of equality” for gay men and lesbians. Every individual has a different view on same sex marriage, whether it’s against or for, everyone should be able to voice their opinion, and in two articles authors Lou Dematteis and Edith M. Humphrey discuss facts and their beliefs on same sex marriage. In the article “Same-Sex Marriage, Civil Unions,
Gay Marriage Tonya McClain PHI 200 Kenneth Mentor November 7, 2011 Gay Marriage Everyone has their own opinion about many different things; I am doing this research paper on the topic of Gay marriage. There are many issues involved in this debate and I would like to be able to put them out in the open so we can see all the reasons that
In addition, there has been a growing emphasis placed on equal rights. These two movements have contributed to keeping the argument for same-sex marriage in the forefront. There are people who believe that although progress has been made, Christian values are still an obstacle for the progress that needs to take place and Brittney Baker is one of them. She compares and contrasts the relationship between the religious and gay community’s attitudes towards same-sex marriage. She puts forth rebuttals to many of the typical arguments for prohibiting same-sex marriage.
For Gay Marriage, By: Andrew Sullivan, Summary (Final Draft) Before the actual article, there is a little green paragraph that states that “the debate over gay marriage highlights a vast culture divide that typically hinges on core beliefs regarding the nature of marriage itself,” (Sullivan, page 404) with that being said, my only thought was that marriage is a full commitment to the person they want to be with the rest of their life, who it is with doesn’t matter and who are we to say who can and cannot marry their “other half.” While reading this article, I highly agreed with what was written by Sullivan, because I have multiple gay friends that I love to death and deserve all the same rights. I guess that’s why this article caught my
Assignment: Historical and Scientific Perspective on Homosexuality PSY/265 Historical and Scientific Perspective on Homosexuality I believe that the historical and scientific perspectives in the text have shaped the way that gay individuals may perceive themselves in that they give these particular individuals different views of other people and the way that they look at gay people and their chosen lifestyle. The cross-cultural perspective is one perspective that gives gay individuals the perspectives from different cultures and the way that they view and think of the gay sexual orientation. While some cultures believe that gay relationships between two individuals of the same sex is wrong, some other cultures believe that it
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.
“No argument can be effective unless it speaks well to others,”(Lunsford 27). Jacob is a Student at Goshen College and he spoke well in his speech. He gave concrete examples, personal testimony, social and biblical references. I believe this speech was definitely effective according to our book. I can’t speak for anyone in the audience but I can say that the speech had effects on my views because in all reality if two gay people do get married it doesn’t change a thing for most people.
Spouting off Bible verses before they even had a chance to realize how foolish it made them appear. This is America, the land of hypocrites. Most of the time the same people who say homosexuality and interracial relationships are an abomination are forgetting that Christ told them not to judge one another. To this day we still have this issue… as someone in an interracial relationship it’s inescapable. If our government is waiting for our people to remain silent on homosexual marriage before legal action is made, then we will be waiting
