Do People Treat Those Equally?

“ The acquisition of wealth is a work of great labor; its possession, a source of continual fear; its loss, of excessive grief.” This quote can apply in our lives and even some books we read like The Pearl. In the book, The Pearl, the wealth of Kino and his family is the pearl they find. It’s possession caused them great fear and labor from the beginning of the book, and it caused them grief towards the end. This quote applies to all parts of the book, and we will examine into all of the chapters to take a closer look.

In today's society many religions and many people don't see eye to eye with the LGBTQ community. They see this community as something less significant than others, viewed as something unnatural, and even something different from this world we live in. This community suffers from being threatened for their lives, being scared of being their true self. In what power should people have to make these decision on what people should like; none, because people should be allowed to love whatever gender they please with. People in this community shouldn't have to a live in fear of being judged by others, tormented, or even humiliated because others don't agree with what gender they like. They are just like every human that loves, but many don't see that because of maybe the way they were raised was to only believe in same sex marriage or people just don't like the idea of a sex liking the same sex. People don't see that society is more open than it was back in the days. This community suffers from being othered and are being viewed as monstering walking on the street. There's stereotypes being made about people in this community, there's religions that disown family that are in this community, and people don't see these types of event could lead to self harm, addiction, and could mess a person mind, just because they don't agree with what gender they please with.

The article, “During Sermon on Violence, N.C. Pastor Confronts Man With Rifle” written by Carma Hasssan talks about how a young man in about his 20’s comes into a church and confesses his wrongdoing. A couple days ago it was a celebration for us all as we celebrated another year gone and for this church it was no different. The pastor in the church named Larry Wright was giving his speech 20 minutes before midnight. All at once a man walks in with a rifle as the pastor is talking about gun violence. Larry described gun violence as senseless and purely devastating. The man was already sitting down and in one hand was his rifle and the other was a magazine filled with ammo. The pastor was one of the first people to recognize the man and what he was carrying, which lead to Larry walking back to the man to start a conversation with the gunman. The

Take me for example, as I’m categorized as someone who has more in common with the oppressed people. My race is one part of the reason why. I’m a Multi-racial individual, being half African American and half Mexican. This in turn makes me oppressed, because society in America has made it clear throughout generations that white people are the superior race in America. So if you’re not white and is anything less than that, then you are considered a minority. Now it wouldn’t really be a problem, if it weren’t for the fact that, once again, privilege cannot exist without oppression. Just because of the color of my skin, I’m already stereotyped. A person who is white is paid more, a person who is white are placed first before anyone else regarding searching for jobs and internships. Even if I’m walking, I feel like I have to watch myself

LGBT are cruelty criticised and discriminated, and there is when freedom of speech become harmful ; This fact is a serious national issue, especially in young people. Since now everybody have the right to speak out their mind, malicious people do not hesitate to mock others, leading to brutal consequences as depression and suicide. Each person should be able to live life the way they want, and not worry about others opinions if their comments will not contribute anything positive, at the end of the day, they would not solve one problems for one give so much importance to them. Is true that God made man and woman to be together, not man and man or woman and woman, but we not God to judge nobody, and God will do his job ; They do not bother or interfere in people's life, they just want to be happy and express their thoughts as a part of the community , and they have the right to do it so. “The Presbyterian Church (USA) joined other religious groups in the United States, including the Episcopal Church, that sanction same-sex marriage or the blessing of same-sex unions, according to the Pew Research Center” (Christian, Kurt). Gay marriage is a prove that everything is possible if we put effort on it, no matter what people say. Since by

Lately there has been a great deal of discussion over legalising same sex marriage. To some people; there is no problem with it. However this is a controversial matter and there is still a great deal of debate ongoing in some countries, including this one, whether homosexual couples should continue to be denied the rights that straight couples enjoy. There is no reason why homosexuals relationships should be differentiated in any way from heterosexual ones. Homosexuality isn 't a choice. Any intolerance in our society concerning something someone cannot control, where no harm is caused, is not only ludicrous but also a form of discrimination. There is

Although I do believe that marriage should stay between a man and a woman, it is hard to defend every religious persons beliefs and the discombobulated upbringing of children without changing the law. In reality gays/lesbians feel as if they should be treated equally and there is nothing we as people can fight enough to change

Gay marriage has slowly become a significant factor amongst individuals of today’s society. On June 26, 2015, it was ruled out by the U.S. Supreme Court that gay marriage was now legal. The first thing that I thought was that “Wasn’t it already legal in the United States?” Well, apparently no it has not been legalized in the United States! (Dumb me.) The U.S. is known to be a nation of equality and gives everyone the freedom of the speech, but it is actually a nation full of racism, sexism, and homophobias. Our country gives us the freedom to do many things, but to gay couples they don’t have much freedom as others do. We are violating their freedom because we aren’t letting them marry the one they love, so to say that everyone in the U.S. has the freedom to do anything is wrong. Our civil rights and the Constitution give us many liberties. One of our civil liberties is the pursuit of happiness, which many homosexual people are not allowed to chase, but thanks to the new ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court homosexual people are allowed to chase it. They are being looked down at and are feeling ashamed of themselves because of all the cruelty that they are receiving. Homosexual people haven’t been able to fully express themselves until it was legalized for them to fully do so. They have been fighting for the right to be married to their same sex for about a decade now, and they have finally met their goal. #Lovewins.

This can be helpful for those who do not have enough time to prepare healthy snacks all day.

Gay marriage is a very talked about topic in are country that shouldn’t be ignored. I believe men and women should be able to love freely and not be shamed by it. Marriage is a great factor in the United States. To some people it’s what we live for; is to get married and start a family. To not give everyone the same opportunity to have a happy marriage and family is unlike us. This problem is bringing a lot of hate, the same hate that was used in racial discrimination so why not give gays equal rights like everyone else. Andrew Sullivan wrote a article that shares his experiences of coming out and being accepted. When puberty hit he started to realize he wasn’t the same. He knew that his marriage is not going to be the same as his

In this country there is a flawed assumption that gay people enjoy the same civil right protections as everyone else and there are a lot of stereotypes about gay relationships. Living as a gay individual in this country can be extremely overwhelming and scary. When it comes to marriage between gay couples, controversy is bound to turn up. There are numerous arguments as to why gay marriage is not “right” such as; it offends everything religion stands for, marriage is for procreation, and gay

For years and years, homosexuals have fought for the right to marry their loved one. It has been looked down upon, called immoral, sinful, and deeds of the devil, but that is not the way it is seen by those who support or engage in it. Supporters view marriage as the union of two individuals who love each other. They no longer see it as the concept of "traditional marriage". They believe traditional marriage has changed over time, and that the definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman is historically inaccurate (should

The concept of marriage is in danger of being misunderstood due to same-sex couples wanting to be married and acquire the same benefits as heterosexual marriages. The fundamental purpose of marriage is uniting a man and a woman in a worthy cause to preserve human civilization. If everyone was homosexual, then how could our species be repeatedly produced? This problem could end human existence. Besides, even those who are not homosexual have restrictions on marriage so they can not assume they are being discriminated upon. Restrictions are created to keep the balance and concept of the idea from being muddled. Their sexual orientation has nothing to do with why these rules were put into place. As a result, homosexual individuals have the right to marry along with everyone else as long as the restrictions are not crossed. All rights are equal among the people even when dealing with marriage. Just because somebody has different

In recent years, same-sex marriage has become a more controversial topic on whether it’s right or wrong. People should not feel coerced to agree with something they believe is wrong; clearly, same-sex marriage is immoral and unnatural. Many complications come with same-sex marriages including financial pressures, social pressures, moral pressures, and health risks.

First, it can clearly be seen that same-sex marriage is primarily about equality. Everyone has equal rights and liberties to chase happiness, as long as it does not cause harm to the society, so why should their freedoms be limits? Why can’t someone be able to marry a person they truly love? Discrimination and banning homosexual couples to get married violates human rights and freedoms. Laws which against gay marriage deny the First Amendment which states that everyone has freedom of speech, expression and religion. Sexual determination is an option, so it is how some people can express themselves.
