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
“Same-sex marriage is not gay privilege, it is equal rights” (Gervais, 2015). The quote captures the evolution of the American perspective of same-sex marriage. Politics, religion, dogma, and culture have been the bases upon which Americans have defended their objections for same-sex marriage over the past four decades. In 1992 for example, an unwillingness to allow marriage equality and to provide basic civil rights were denied the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community (LGBT) by the
LGBT are redefining the definition of family. June 2016, the same sex marriage was pronounced by the Supreme Court, across the United Sates. Most Americans supported the marriage equality. Family is redefined as giving love whether you are straight, LGBGT couple or single parent. According to US census data, 270, 313 American children lives in households with same sex couple as the head of the family. (Mallon, G., 2013). Also, with the increased of the LGBT population, health issues are still a concern
from state to state. The most power should lie within the state government they handle marriage laws, education, and the health and safety of the people. Marriage laws are very controversial. Some believe do what makes you happy and if that is same-sex marriage then so be it, but other believe very strongly that same-sex marriage is completely wrong whether it is based off religion or just personal opinions. Marriage laws should be within the hands of the states. A vote can be held to see what the people
Those pushing for “same-sex marriage” assume that the change is for the greater good and we should all just get on board. What they fail to recognize is that gay marriage is not simply a matter of personal belief or a “yes” or “no” issue. Recently, the debate over same-sex marriage has been one of the most divisive political issues in our nation. We belong to a remarkable generation, one where definitions are changing, prejudices are being broken, and homosexual relationships are slowly gaining
Same-sex marriage in the U.S. is argued in the courts and homes quite a bit nowadays. The reason it is argued so much is because people believe it is wrong and should not be legalized in the United States. So many people think that it is wrong because their religion conflicts it, or just doesn’t add up to them. A religion that gay marriage conflicts with is usually Christianity. In James 4:12, G*D says “There is only one lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you-who are
Allowing same-sex marriage to legally occur is currently a major debate within Australia that has a huge presence in our contemporary society. Same-sex marriage is defined as the union of two individuals of the same gender identity and these couples have experienced discrimination on the personal and legal level (Rich & Wagner: 2016). Not only does this debate effect the lives of same-sex couples wishing to get married, but all individuals and groups within the LGBTQIA+ community. A significant issue
What About The Children? What about the children? A question asked by a surprising few when debating over the morality of same-sex marriage. The debate typically covers equality and justice, but what we should really be talking about is the children. The legal right for a same-sex couple to have a child is something not enough people are talking about. If same sex marriage is legal and they can already have children, then why is it important to discuss? It is important to discuss this topic because
Australians are invited to vote on the question of gay marriage, an issue that has dominated the political discourse in the country for years. On one side same-sex marriage activists argue that it is time for Australia to join the list of developed countries that have legalized gay marriage, whilst the Coalition for Marriage stands in strong opposition. The Coalition has pointed to Canada’s policy on the matter claiming that legalized gay marriage has threatened religious freedom in the country. Notable
Marriage is universally acknowledged as a legal contract and a moral issue. Two individuals whom are in love with each other should have open doors to commit with one another. Marriage itself should not be judged on religion, their future family, nor have their rights diminished by the law. Many people oppose same sex marriage because their decision is influenced by their religion. The bible mentions marriage as a union between a male and a female. For that reason, people judge when a same sex couple
