Benefits Of Equal Rights On Gay Americans

Gays should be allowed to have the same rights as everyone else. Homosexual people do not want to have special privileges. They just want to have the same rights as heterosexuals, nothing more and nothing less. Homosexuals are a growing minority with

Same-sex couples should have access to the same marriage benefits as heterosexual couples. Prohibiting same-sex marriage is unconstitutional discrimination.

Marriage has always been a sacred agreement between a man and woman. However, as times have changed, our ideas involving marriage are forced to change with the times. Our country has developed throughout the years to enforce the belief that all Americans should be granted equal rights no matter what their skin color or cultural background. Granting gays the right to marry would simply be giving all people equal rights in the issue of marriage.

Gay Rights--civil and social rights given to homosexuals in comparison to heterosexuals--is a topic that has been roaring, especially in the conservative state of Mississippi. Because this is such a controversial issue, citizens have a different viewpoints that are deemed “the right way.” Citizens’ viewpoints have grown stronger with the recent passing of Governor Phil Bryant’s initiative “1523.” The legislative measure claims, it is a person’s religious freedom to hire or sell to gay citizens. It is ironic that the measure upholds one person’s freedom but denies another. Since the constitution, America has claimed to be built upon the blessing of liberty for all. However, minorities groups: women, African Americans, immigrants have had to fight to be a part of this liberty. Mississippi’s bill, 1523, dishonors what the constitution upholds. No

Lesbians, gays, bisexual, and transgender Americans face many oppressions and do not share the same civil rights as their fellow heterosexual citizens. In my opinion, your sexual preferences should not dictate your civil rights. Sadly, this is not the case in America. The Declaration of Independence proclaims that “all men are created equal” with the right to “life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.” However, in today's society homosexual are not giving the same opportunity to achieve their pursuit of happiness. Many LGBT Americans have fought and still fighting for the rights, safety, and freedom of this country but are still not given the same rights as heterosexual Americans. #2 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Americans should have the same rights as heterosexual Americans in all fields including but not limited too are marriage equality, job security, and human rights.

"You robbed me of something very precious and I will never forgive you for that. Mr. McKinney, I give you life in the memory of one who no longer lives. May you have a long life and may you thank Matthew every day for it." Those were the words said by Dennis Shepard at the sentencing of Aaron McKinney, one of the men who tortured, robbed, and murdered his son Matthew Shepard. He was given a life sentence. States must inflict a harsher punishment for people who commit gay violence crimes because over the years hate crimes based on sexual orientation have become the third highest category reported.

People may know a person who’s lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender or may have at least heard of LGBT community, but many don’t know about the bad side of the things that happens to these people. Many LGBTs experience limitation in their rights as Americans for being true to themselves. In the article, “LGBT Equality & Civil Rights”, it states, “Throughout its history, America has symbolized equality of opportunity for people of all races, origins, religions and creeds, serving as a beacon of hope for anyone seeking a better life. However, despite its founding principles of equality and acceptance, the United States also has a long history of denying basic rights to certain people.” Which is true in the rights of the LGBT community. Although

　　All people are created equal and should be treated the same. People that live the gay life style have to fight for the right to be respected and excepted. The 14th Amendment equal protection clause allows

The American government is robbing gay individuals of many of the benefits that straight people get. First by not legalizing gay marriage this could include the lack of social security benefits that have been delivered to straight individuals who have a both male and female.

John and Stuart, gay couple who have been involved in marriage equality movement for 12 years. John explained what he is doing to achieve that right. The first gay right law was passed in Michigan state, where the state tried on a city level government to see if gay rights laws works or not before they pass it to the whole state or even the federal government. Then the law passed through small liberal cities. In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court passed a law saying that a state cannot put a gay person in jail just because they had a sexual relationship. On February 12, 2004, Gavin Newsom, mayor of San Francisco at that time, said he don’t want to discriminate any same-sex couples anymore because the constitution says we should not discriminate.

Historically, gay people have been denied the legal and emotional benefits of marriage. It was not until the 21st century that individual states began recognizing same-sex marriage, and granting homosexuals the same rights and protections under marriage as heterosexuals had enjoyed for years (Wolfson). From an ethical standpoint, this can be viewed as a gross injustice to gay couples.

Equal marriage or gay marriage promotes family stability and non-discrimination in society. In addition, the same-sex marriage is a fundamental constitutional right for all American citizens guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment, thus exercising the right to marry. In addition, marriage is one of the most basic human needs, where the LGBT community exercises equal rights exercised over the law. as it also offers a legal and virtuous option for homosexuals, that is, they not only favor homosexuals but also society as a whole because it offers an accommodation to homosexuals without excluding them. as well as, societies that embrace human reason, ethics,

There is a constitutional right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It would be unconstitutional to criminalize same-sex marriage, or any marriage, regardless of gender, or sexual orientation. Criminalizing same-sex marriage is unacceptable due to it being discriminatory. It violates the civil rights of homosexual people by not allowing them to pursue their happiness. The Constitution clearly states this:

Most individuals are convinced that they deserve the rights they are allowed by the government.   An honest citizen who pays their taxes, works for their community and comply with the law should be afforded the rights of an American.  Nevertheless, not all citizens have equal rights.  Gay and lesbians are consistently denied rights that are typically taken for granted by the average American.  Specifically, gay and lesbians pairs are opposed the right to marry even if they’re upstanding citizens.  They are held at an unfair disadvantage due to the fact of their sexual orientation.  This bias has to stop since gay and lesbian couples are law-abiding citizens too, who should be given the very same rights as straight couples.

Did you know that the economy can gain a lot more than a happy couple with benefits, “Big corporations want same-sex couples to be allowed to marry because they believe gay marriage is good for business” (Badgett).Same sex couples are wanted from some of the biggest corporations, people and states everywhere. Same sex couples should not only be accepted but also allowed to marry at anytime, anywhere in their freewill. Also same sex couples and the LGBTQ community have many economic benefits to give and are being considered and should continue to do so. “Marriage also helps couples make economic decisions that create both private and social benefits, like investing for retirement, and looking after each other’s health.” (Badgett) Same sex marriage should not only be embraced, communized and, legalized, but also brought to attention often because same sex couples can bring economic benefits along with personal benefits for each other. The LGBTQ community is impacting and changing America as we know it one person at a time and with that they are also impacting society and the economy for the better and they should simply be given the right to love each other unconditionally.
