Argumentative Essay On Same Sex Marriage

Heteronormativity is the idea that heterosexuality and male and female gender binaries are the default. It has an emphasis on strict gender roles that feed into the idea that males are supposed to be strong protectors, sole providers, and reject anything deemed “feminine”. These ideas are further advanced by the notion of courtly love, which see the males as a dotting servant to women, the objects of their affection, but in reality is a tool of narcissism.

Heteronormativity is known as the belief that “heterosexuality is the only normal and natural expression of sexuality (Merriam-Webster).” While homosexuality is becoming more accepted in today’s society, heteronormativity is still a prominent issue in the media and life at home. There are various opinions on heteronormativity, some believing that it is not an issue and others believing it is alienating gay individuals. Although it does not affect the majority of households and individuals in the U.S, a solution to heteronormativity would benefit LGBTQ individuals who feel isolated from the rest of society.

For thousands of years, law and custom enforced the subordination of wives to husbands. But as the women's-rights movement gained strength in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, wives slowly began to insist on being regarded as their husbands' equals, rather than their property.

Americans view/ deem to be happiness ont eh standards of the American Dream: the ability to achieve economic success. A “normalized” family based on American standards encompasses the idea of marriage and having children. Before the legalization of gay marriage, this “dream” was generally exclusive to heteronormative couples. Slowly, the acceptance of gay marriage as another possibility has opened up the “normalized” family structure to include homosexual couples. The dream is the image of happiness and for those who do not try to achieve it are not deemed happy. Those who choose to be included into this structure are more tolerated than others who do not fit in this molded construct.

In today’s society, there are certain stereotypical people that are uninterested in gay or lesbian marriage. Everyone should have the right to decide on who they would like to marry. Gay marriage should be legal and a non-punishable offense because it can prevent teenage suicides, more children will be adopted, and people will not feel like second-class citizens.

Same sex “marriage” is harmful and wrong and must be opposed. This is tending to cause issues that occur in the world today. The law that was passed on same sex marriage in 2016 has affected the views of many people around the world. There are many reasons why I believe this is cruel and wrong.

A phrase that has been used by many different religions in the United States is or very similar to “God kills soldiers because America lets faggots fight.” These people preach God as an all mighty being who set commandments in which he would be violating one of them. However, the larger concern of this statement is why is there such bigotry towards people who like the same sex that they are? Same sex marriage in the US isn’t something that should be hindered or hated but rather embraced and recognized by everyone as two people deeply in love. Throughout this essay I will explain four different ways in which same sex marriage is actually beneficial in the United States. These range from social to federal benefits which can prove that these individuals aren’t the only ones benefitting from their marriage.

America prides itself in allowing its citizens to manifest their natural born rights. Our founding fathers created documents such as the Constitution granting us our liberties, the main one being the pursuit of happiness. However, throughout history people have faced discrimination due to race, gender, class and sexual orientation. The LGBTQ community has fought to gain their right to marry and won.

On May 18, 1970, Jack Baker and Michael McConnell walked into a courthouse in Minneapolis, paid $10, and applied for a marriage license. The county clerk Gerald Nelson refused to give them one because marriage was for couples that were opposite sex. Baker and McConnell did not give up, Baker quit his engineering job to attend law school at the University of Minnesota. He spent hours in the library researching Minnesota’s marriage statute word for word. He discovered a loophole that It did not state that two people of the same sex couldn’t get married. Baker thought that the best alternative to legal marriage would be to get some of the benefits of marriage, which would be adoption. Because Minnesota law did not forbid an adult to adopt another adult, McConnell was able to legally adopt Baker. That allowed Baker to change his last name to McConnell and his first name to one that was gender neutral like Pat Lynn.

Recently there have been multiple debates against loving who you want, especially with certain religions. The LGBTQ community isn’t accepted into many people's religions because “it goes against what the bible says” or because “it’s gross”. This situation has torn families apart simply because one member cannot take that another person loves someone of the same-sex. I believe that same-sex relations should be widely accepted in all religions and people should be able to love who they want without fearing over how it will affect them for the rest of their life. I believe this because not only does shaming gay couples embarrass the person in the relationship, it may also embarrass their children or make their children feel ashamed of them; not accepting gay relations in religions can cause violence towards the LGBTQ community; and finally because in the bible, it also states that God loves all his children no matter what. So in all, I believe that gay relations should be accepted by everyone.
