Argument Essay/ Homosexuality

Richard Mohr believes that outing closeted homosexuals is morally justified. He argues that sexual orientation is not a private matter and therefore, does not violate a homosexual's right to privacy. He believes that outing will increase the homosexual community by creating positive role models. He argues that remaining in the closet is morally debasing and creates indignity to one's self. Claudia Card on the other hand, argues almost the complete opposite. She takes a utilitarian stance on outing "the big secret." The big secret is referring to one being a homosexual. She believes that outing is justified as long as it does no harm, which she believes is unlikely.

“Being gay is much more profound than simply a sexual relationship; being gay is part of that person’s core identity, and goes right to the very center of his being. It’s like being black in s society of whites, or a blonde European in a nation of black Asians” (Tamara L. Roleff). Although marriage, cohabitation and parenting styles of homosexual families pose no threats to the heterosexual society; many still believe same-sex marriage goes against its true purpose. “At the national level, American public opinion on the issue remains split (44 percent support legalizing same-sex marriage; 53 percent oppose same-sex marriage in a May 2010 Gallup Poll) even as opposition toward legalizing same-sex marriage is at its lowest point in decades

All families face challenges in their everyday life. For some, the challenges are easier to handle while for others, surmounting those challenges can be more difficult. Over the years, the LGBT community in the US has faced many hurdles. Whether it’s the legalization of same-sex marriage to adoption rights to alimony, child support and child custody in case of divorce, legislation specific to gay and lesbian couples still has a long way to go.

One positive view of gay adoption is that it gives the gay couple the chance to start their own family and give a child in care a new start to life in a loving home. This will allow the couple to love and care for the child just as much as they would if the child was living with their own biological parents. Gay couples who want to adopt a child will give the same loving family home just like a heterosexual couple or single parent would. For some children, living with a gay couple may be something they haven’t experienced before. However finding a family who love the child and appreciate them for who they are, also encouraging them with all aspects of their life and supporting them all the way through their life is what matters most to children.

They have the right to have a child if desired just like a heterosexual couple because they both have similar ways of parenting. Less children would be in foster care and adoptive agencies if homosexuals had the opportunity to adopt. This is a step forward in our country and in civil right for

The adoption of children should be based on finding a home with loving parents. This situation should not be judged regarding the sexual orientation. Gay marriage is now legal, the next step could be adopting children without any restrictions whatsoever. The Christian Church and some other religions overall see this as a wrong doing to humanity, some people believe children might grow up wanting to be the same. Also, there are many individuals out there in the world who are straight and still mistreat children, maybe they do not provide the care required to raise their own in a correct way. The adoption of children by gay people has also been seen as something that is not acceptable, as if

Recently, research has shown that gay and lesbian parents share the parental characteristics of support, protection, and stability that children need. Sexual orientation should not be problem when adopting children. Children adopted by same-sex couples are more likely to be placed with parents who are patient, dedicated to their children, and have respect for the differences of the

An argument that I have won before, was about whether or not bisexuality was a real sexual orientation. I was at home with my brother when I made a comment about the appearance of a man. My brother started questioning me about my sexual orientation. I told him I was bisexual and he told me that there was no such thing. We proceeded to get into an argument about this topic. I ended up winning the argument because I researched the term bisexual and show my brother the results. I also proved it to him that bisexuality is indeed a real sexuality because that is what B stands for in LGBT. To this day he still can’t believe I was right and lets me talk freely about who I love. I won the argument because I have done extensive research on LGBT issues

I personally do not support the argument that Homosexuality is wrong and and “that offenders (gays) should be stoned or put to death” like the bible says. Instead, I am in favor of adoption by Gay couples because that is the right thing to do in today’s society, at least here in the United States. One must ask oneself and reflect what is better for a orphaned child’s best interest? Is it ethical or unethical to give a child an opportunity to be with loving parent/parents or not provide those parents at all? It is a fact that in today’s society, gay people are everywhere which include teachers, doctors, politicians, scientists, friends and family. Being gay and open about it without punishment is culturally accepted mostly now in the United States. Just the fact that homosexuals have to fight to become legal parents highlights the value of what being a parent really has. Heterosexual people usually overlook that value because parenthood is obviously common in heterosexual households. Regardless of what people believe, homosexuals have love in their hearts just like anyone else. There is no study in existence nor any evidence that a gay couple are unable to love a child like a straight

First of all, homosexuals should be allowed to adopt. The goal of our adoption and foster care systems is to provide all children with permanent, stable homes with loving and supportive parents, but discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and marital status hinders that. State governments bear discrimination, economic costs, same-sex couples are denied the ability to build a family, and, most importantly, children in need of loving and permanent homes are left in unstable caregiving situations. Over the years' child foster care has increased by a big number. With all these restrictions on homosexuals trying to adopt children doesn't help the number go down at all. People are trying to start a family and they can't because people don't believe it's right

“All men are created equal, No matter how hard you try, you can never erase those words,” Harvey Milk. A homosexual, as defined by the dictionary, is someone of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward another of the same sex. Homosexuality is ethical, and I will provide rational arguments for, and irrational arguments against the topic. A few objections are as follows: It is forbidden in the Bible and frowned upon by God; It is unnatural; Men and women are needed to reproduce; There are no known examples in nature; and the most common argument that concerns homosexuality is whether it is a choice or human biology.

In today’s world, people can be described in the terms of gay, straight, or bisexual. Some people can find these labels uncomfortable. Some believe it is a decision you make and others believe homosexuality is something you are born with. By using the perspective of proposal argument, this situation can be regarded as a more vivid explanation about sexuality. Based on brain studies of the hypothalamus and genetics, it can be argued that sexual orientation is a trait people are born with.

No one knows exactly how homosexuality entered into human history. I would imagine that the practices associated with the erotic attraction of people to one's own gender have been around since the dawn of humanity. The earliest accounts of homosexual behavior seem to be found in ancient pagan religious practices. At least, the pagans included homosexuality in the worship of various gods. Whether the inclusion in worship was because the practice was already a part of the society-at-large or if the pagan worship introduced the practice is impossible to determine, although some understandings of Paul's writings argue for the latter.

We get it. You’re queer. It’s 2017; gay people don’t struggle for acceptance anymore… right? Often times I find myself asking this question. People aren’t staring; that scowl wasn’t directed at me; perhaps that woman is just having a bad day. The phrase “You will repent for your sins,” that comes after tells me otherwise. How can people like this still exist, when most of society is often so accepting? That’s when I recall the looks, double-takes, and rude comments that have followed me for years.

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.
