Arguments Against Same Sex Marriage

This paper will be fighting against gay marriage, and explaining why it is wrong. Why is it gay marriage shouldn’t be allowed in the U.S or any other country it is legal in? There are many reasons why gay marriage should be illegal. Gay marriage should have never been made legal in the U.S. Gay marriage should be illegal because it’s unnatural, it’s against some religions, and it can affect other people.

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.

Elizabeth Schroeder’s book, Taking Sides, looks at opposing views on controversial issues, one of which is legalizing same-sex marriage. In their article, “Talking About the Freedom to Marry: Why Same-Sex Couples Should Have Equality in Marriage,” the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund supports same-sex marriage. An opposing view, is given by Robert P. George, a Princeton University professor. In his article, “The 28th Amendment: It Is Time to Protect Marriage, and Democracy, in America,” he explains why he is against same-sex marriage.

The political issue of same-sex marriage has recently become one of the biggest debates of the 21st century. Its rise in popularity soared within the United States in 2000, when Vermont became the first state in the country to recognize these types of unions between same-sex couples. I believe that same-sex couples should not be denied of their right to marry, but there are several believable arguments, which contradict my opinion on the topic. These arguments include the beliefs that; allowing same-sex couples to wed will cause the institution of marriage to crumble, citizens of the United States should not have to pay taxes to support something which they believe to be wrong, and that the legalization of same-sex marriage could lead to

Thank you for your post. I used a similar example about reversing the situation. What if a gay couple owned a bakery and a customer asked if they would make a cake saying that would say Gay marriage is wrong. The couple would most likely refuse as its goes against their beliefs. No one should have to force themselves to do something that they feel is morally wrong. I do not agree that Christian's are a protected group and it would be a different outcome. All citizens of the United States are protected by the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment, and justices apply this clause to all situations concerning this issue. What are your thoughts on the future of this issue? Will the people become more accepting of business

Those in support of the legalization gay marriage have over time presented a number of somewhat convincing arguments in support of the same. However, supporters of the status quo cite various reasons as to why gay marriages should not be permitted. In an attempt to present a case against homosexual marriages, I will revisit some of the reasons that have been floated over time against the same.

Same-sex marriage is one of the leading political topics in the United States today. There is an ongoing dispute pertaining to the legalization of same-sex marriages. America has shifted its head to focusing on supporting same-sex marriage or not. Many are for and against this topic but there has been no settlement for it yet. Homosexuals want to marry for the same reason that heterosexuals have and there should be no reason why they are not allowed to. There is some history behind this topic but there has yet to be a solution.

Austin Reynolds, in his term paper, “ k,” proves with strong assertations that there is evidence to support the legalization of homosexual marriage, though many would argue that it will harm the sanctity of marriage and harm the right to freedom of religion. Reynolds supports his ideas by expounding upon the inequality that LGBT people are given and how gay marriage will bring harm to no man, women, or child. The author’s purpose is to inform the reader on all aspects of gay marriage so they understand the controversial reasoning behind the idea as well as the arguments against the proposal. Reynolds writes in a formal tone for the American Studies English teachers at Granite Hills High School.

There are numerous opinions and standing views on gay marriage. The argument regarding gay marriage should be legalized or not is extremely controversial. According to an article from the Human Rights Campaign, there is nothing wrong with allowing homosexuals to have the same rights as those who are heterosexual. Every individual person should be granted equal rights, regardless of sexuality. Gay marriage should be legalized in all states and countries, it has been held off for too long.

The debate over same-sex marriage has been a prominent issue in our society over many years now, appearing in several ballot initiatives such as California 's Proposition 8. The idea of allowing two people of the same gender to enter into the institution of marriage has brought out drastic emotions and reactions from many different groups of people. Those who engage in the debate believe

First off I would like to tell you the argument side against gay marriage and why people do not like it and don’t want to see it legal. People that think gay marriage is so wrong usually goes off of three things. First is usually the religious side and debates on whether god wants it to be that way and how there are raised is also a factor in the religious side. Second they argue that if adopted a kid or kids that it would mentally hurt the child and could cause damage having parents that are gay and not having both a mother and a father. Third is the people either just don’t want to see it or its against everything, this would also combined with the tradition reasons and complaints. this is where people come up with all the reasons why it should be illegal. Most of those reasons can be hurt full and sometimes make no sense. To people that are gay all this comes as an offence

Same-Sex MarriageTopic: Same-Sex MarriageQuestion: How did same-sex marriage affect society and bring awareness towards the LGBTQ community?Thesis: Same-sex marriage has greatly affected American society and brought along with it a lot of awareness towards the LGBTQ community.Same-sex marriage has greatly affected American society and brought along with it a lot of awareness towards the LGBTQ community. The idea of a same-sex couple has never been a widely accepted concept in the U.S. let alone the world up until recently.1 Back in 1973, Maryland was the first state to ban same-sex marriage and later in 1996, President Clinton passed the Defense of Marriage Act which denied federal benefits to married gay couples.2 As shown by the actions of the U.S. alone in dealing with gay couples wanting to become wed, it can be shown just how unfavored the idea behind marriage between homosexuals was as well as how close minded many Americans were towards the topic. In a study done by the Pew Research Center back in 2001, participants were asked the question of whether or not they agreed with same-sex marriage and the group that conducted the study later organized all of the responses by different factors such as age groups, generations, religious affiliations, etc. 3 Once completed, the study showed that at the start of 2001, 57% of the surveyed Americans opposed gay marriage whereas 35% either agreed with it or were unmoved by it. Another study done back in 2003 was conducted with

The legalization of same-sex marriage has been a battle that has been raging since the late twentieth century. By not allowing same-sex marriage, the United Sates is creating discrimination against same-sex couples. People of faith are the biggest advocates against same-sex marriages. Seeing that there are many rights and responsibilities associated with marriage, same-sex couples are denied these and are being discriminated against. Same-sex couples are denied the right to make decisions regarding their partner’s health and medical treatment. The inability to adopt one another’s children is experienced by same-sex couples every day. Although many states have adopted civil unions, they are separate and unequal. Same-sex marriage should be legalized to create equality and eliminate the injustice involving same-sex couples. Marriage is a basic human right for every individual. Same sex marriage should be legalized everywhere.

The legalized marriage of individuals with the same gender is drawing more attention these days. When asked, most people want to avoid the subject of homosexuality altogether or they have a very strong opinion on it. The debate over whether the United States should allow homosexual couples to marry legally is giving rise to a new social dilemma in our country. This question has courtrooms nervous, churches wavering and equal rights activists angry. Courtrooms should be nervous though. "Our courts, which have mishandled abortion, may be on the verge of mishandling homosexual marriages" (Wilson 34). The judges of the Supreme Court of Hawaii might possibly legalize gay marriages in the near

Ultimately I want to get my point across on same-sex marriage as a societal institution. I will also touch on homosexuality, not as an issue of practice overall, but to use as background and in text evidence. I will also use homosexuality to support the need for same-sex marriage.
