For five years Bill Flanigan and Robert Daniel lived like a married couple. By going to family reunions together, living together, and deeply loving each other. However, because of their law in their home state California, they were unable to legally wed.

Homosexual marriage is one of the old but controversial issues around the world. Compared to the past, it seems to become a more open debate among people. At the same time, people seem to be more swayable than before, but towards the gay marriage, different voices have still been hovering in the air. Gay people and their supporters have been striving for their rights to get married legally, while others who against gay marriage have never stopped deterring it.

The controversy of gay marriages increases in debate within the United States and continues to be a debate even in the political scene. Whether we approve or disapprove of gay marriages the United States courts may force many to follow the law even despite the fact it may jeopardize their religious beliefs.

"Gay rights are just one of the social issues I'm interested in. I think that people might be less tense about it if we would all accept the fact that not everyone is wired the same way." (Charlene Harris) Injustice supervenes quotidian, and as citizens, we acquiesce. Homosexual, Does that antagonize you? The aura shifts. Homosexual unity is considered illegitimate for clueless, feeble-minded community, but why? A robust majority of the society, commencement would mention religion. The Bible declares that a marriage should be between man and woman. How can you be a homosexual, but go to the sanctuary and accolade God? It is conceivable. Antecedent, the bible says we should show fondness to one and other, yet why do we hesitate to homosexuals? Individuals classified as homosexual are seen as an atrocity. Personally, we obliterate the certitude homosexuals are human beings. Yet, privately seem to classify ourselves as humans after we are critics to them.

Concerns are: Gay people adopting children and what kind of life would it be for the children, what will be the next social tradition will be demolished if homosexual marriages are legalized

Gay marriage is a very talked about topic in are country that shouldn’t be ignored. I believe men and women should be able to love freely and not be shamed by it. Marriage is a great factor in the United States. To some people it’s what we live for; is to get married and start a family. To not give everyone the same opportunity to have a happy marriage and family is unlike us. This problem is bringing a lot of hate, the same hate that was used in racial discrimination so why not give gays equal rights like everyone else. Andrew Sullivan wrote a article that shares his experiences of coming out and being accepted. When puberty hit he started to realize he wasn’t the same. He knew that his marriage is not going to be the same as his

One of the most controversial issues around today is gay marriages. Many believe that the media is primly responsible for the idea of same-sex marriages, but when it all comes down to it there are really only two sides; those who support gay marriages, and those who oppose them. Two authors write their opinions on their opposite views on this issue. Sullivan (2002) supports same-sex marriages and believes marriage to be a universal right, not just restricted to heterosexuals. Contrary to Sullivan, Bennett (2002) believes that marriage is a sacred traditional family value that should be set aside for heterosexual couples. (2002)Throughout this essay, I will summarize both authors’ ideas and evaluate them through their evidence and

In recent times, numerous mentions of Islam are gracing the internet and social media, but this isn’t necessarily a good thing. With the terrorist attacks in Paris a few weeks ago, and in New York on September 11, 2001, Muslims, and anyone who look even remotely Middle Eastern, were increasingly discriminated against because of a few bad apples. It can be easily understood that a few people do not represent the ideals of a whole culture, yet the fear and anger of occidentals are taken out on those who are only affiliated with said few people through religion, those who are mere human beings going through the same things anyone else do. This is called Islamophobia, which is defined by Erik Bleich as “indiscriminate negative attitudes or emotions

Unfortunately, many arguments have arisen against the legalization of homosexual marriage. For example, some claim two fathers or two mothers are incapable of providing their children of the nurturing the child deserves that having both a father and a mother would provide. Some religions also believe that expanding the definition of marriage is redefining it from what it should only be: a union of a man and a woman. However, the American Psychological Association (APA), the American Sociological Association (ASA), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have each endorsed the legalization of same-sex marriage and its capacity to provide a stable familial framework for children. Furthermore, removing discrimination from the institution of marriage “does not redefine ‘marriage’ — it simply makes the institution more accessible and reflects the evolution of society” (Lipp). The APA, AAP, and ASA validate that same-sex marriage can be just as healthy and spiritually wholesome as opposite-sex marriage and religious freedoms should not interfere with that

Cory Connell, 21; Eddie Justice, 30; Akyra Murray, 18; Frank Hernandez, 27, these are just four of the innocent victims killed in Pulse, the Orlando LGBTQ+ nightclub on June 12, 2016. There were 49 innocent lives taken on this very early Sunday morning, making it the second worst terrorist attack in America during the 21st century. The perpetrator Omar Mateen, a dash member. As we are currently in the 21st century, America is progressing. In the heart of these great progressions lies what I believe to be America’s greatest problem to overcome. Gay marriage is a huge controversial topic in America today. Besides the fact that it is just simply a constitutional right of the people, there are an abundance of reasons why gay marriage is a vital

Ask any American what values founded this country and you will get very similar responses: Liberty, Freedom, or justice. These values are instilled in each American and come as naturally to us as the air we breath, or do they? Just as women fought for suffrage, and African Americans in the civil rights movement, homosexuals battle for the right to marry. This issue is affecting Americans on several levels.

One issue that has struck Americans is that gays and lesbians want to adopt children and start a family. If gays

People are born homosexual. If you are homosexual you cannot get married. That idea is ridiculous. On June 26, 2015, the US Supreme Court ruled that the US Constitution guarantees the right for same-sex couples to marry. Marriage is defined as a sacred bond of love between two people. Gay people also feel love therefore, they should be allowed the same rights as everyone else in this country. Homosexuality is an accepted lifestyle nowadays with a proven biological causation. The only thing that should matter in marriage is love and denying them this is a violation of religious freedom.

The bible is a collection of accounts, the first of these were compiled over 3500 years ago and the full bible was first compiled around 1900 years ago. So can this book which was written in an age with crucifixion and inequality be applicable to a society now driven by phones and jet flights?
