Gay Marriage Article Summary

The massive amount of people who believe and support LGBT should have the same human rights and equality say, “it's only fair they receive the same liberty to love who they love.” (Texas, Democratic Party, 1) Throughout the years, same sex marriage supporters have been increasing; “81% of adults under 30 now support marriage equality.”(Texas Democratic Party, 1). People have been making an effort to fight this case even since the beginning of the gay rights movement in the 1960s-1970s. Even before that though, homosexuals have tried to be seen equal, and of course, have an aspiration to be able to obtain the same rights as everyone else, which is to win over the Defense of Marriage Act, which was signed in 1996 by Presidential Clinton to be able to marry the person they love regardless of what their gender

On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court removed the ban on same-sex marriage nationwide. On July 15, 2015, Kenneth Jost published an article named “Will there be more gains after marriage ruling?” In this article, Jost discusses the viewpoints of the general public and argues that there may still be a struggle to gain full rights and respect for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender (LGBT) people. The article covers the reaction of the public on June 26, along with politicians stand-points on the subject, and the Caitlyn Jenner controversy. Jost’s main argument is that LGBT people are not being protected by the government, even though they have gained the right to marry.

In the last several years the United States of America has shown progression towards equality for LGBT. With whole states being the frontrunners of support for LGBT rights it has become apparent that change is happening. In 2012 gay marriage was legalized in all fifty states, allowing many couples the ability to wed. Close friends of my mom were able to wed because of the law. Not only has there been steps taken for sexuallitys but, also for those who are transgender. In the last couple years the Transgender Community has seen discussion after discussion about the use of bathrooms. It has shown that there’s many who support trans bathroom rights and that the country is willing to move forward. Also on the chopping block of the transgender

The LGBTQ community are living a life in danger in America. Regardless of the acceptance of same-sex marriage, there are a number problems the LGBTQ community have to face, like the many obstacles to acceptance and equality. In The New York Times article, “The Challenges That Remain for L.G.B.T. People After Marriage Ruling” by Liam Stack, he goes by talking about info that can be reliable with sources that work, with quotes that match with what he needs to say, and usefully using emotional appeals to persuade his audience that the LGBTQ community are in danger. Stack sets about his work of persuading his audience about what is going on in the world is by using strong logical and ethical appeals. In his writing he points out that the LGBTQ community faces discrimination, lack of transgender rights, health care and Immigration and Criminal equity reform.

As big of a step in the right direction as equal opportunity marriage is for the LGBT community, there is still more steps to take. They still have many social issues that they have to deal with such as discrimination and a lack of acceptance from our fellow Americans. Acceptance is always huge for a minority group and discrimination is something that nobody wants to endure. The problem is that often, people don’t consider the negative effects that they have on others. A study was done on students in 2009 on the

There are over 105 million households in the United States today and out of those households, there are over 1.2 million gay people living with same-sex partners (“Census on Gays in America”). This makes the proposed legalization of same-sex marriage one of the most significant issues in contemporary America. It is presently one of the most discussed reforms in law reviews and the American court systems. If legalized, it could be one of the most revolutionary policy decisions in the history of America, along with women’s rights, interracial marriage, and slavery. There are many people who are opposed and feel it is morally and ethically wrong and others who feel that same-sex marriages are acceptable. Prior to

The policy case that I reviewed is the Gay marriage showdowns: Will voters bar marriage for same-sex couples? By Kenneth Jost. For many years, there’s been debate whether or not homosexual individuals deserve any rights. People tend use the separation church and state as agreement against gay marriage. “Church and state were distinct in that the Federal Government could not elevate one denomination over others. Nor could government and its flawed inhabitants usurp divine authority by harnessing politics to the church. Faith is no civil contract, but a personal matter not to be profaned by politics (Flax, 2011). Churches feels that the US government have no right rendered politics to churches, but there’s injustice and inequality within Churches, it than becomes a public problem which can lead to government intervention. Social equity was critical value in this case study because no one, not a Church cannot tell no one who he/she can marry as it is discrimination if people do not have the free will to marry someone of the same sex. California became the second state after

Thesis Statement: The Gay Rights Movement dates back to the 19th century. By 1970 gay and lesbian organizations existed all over the United States and in other countries all over the world. Some supporters of the movement would say that our society as a whole has made great strides towards acceptance of homosexuality. However, gays and lesbians are still fighting for equality in 2009. The issues are vast and widespread, with same-sex marriage at the top of the list. In the world that we live in today one might be surprised to learn how many countries are accepting of gay and lesbians, as well as how many are not. The world has made progress within the last decade regarding this issue, but definitely not enough. We need to take steps

Gay marriage is an issue that has been widely debated in the recent years. It has been considered outlawed for centuries, but is rapidly gaining acceptance among the people. While many believe to have no problem to allowing marriage of homosexual couples, there is still a fraction that is strongly opposed to it. Some nations in the world have shut their doors to the idea of same sex relationships, let aside allowing them the right to marry. Some countries have legalized gay marriage federally, however certain states have not accepted that law. As of June 26, 2015, 19 out of 194 countries allow same-sex couples to marry nationwide (Farmer and Horowitz, 2015). Should gay marriage be legalized worldwide? Many would say yes, but others may disagree.

Throughout history the gay rights movement was primarily a minority among the cultures and religions around it. The movement initially was thought of as morally incorrect, and an act of criminalization. However, as time went on and the gay rights movement continued to voice their opinion to others, attitudes and views began to change and breakthroughs in their mission began to be noticed. In the 21st century much of the Western culture has accepted the inclusion of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, etc in to its culture and accepts them for who they are. Attitude and social interactions continue to approve positively as more people become informed on this topic. As a result, the inclusion of the LGBT group in to Western

In 2008 a Newsweek poll declared a “gay marriage surge,” and surveys from the Pew Research Center showed that by 2012 more American adults favored same-sex marriage (48 percent) than opposed it (43 percent) (Pew Forum, 2012). That figure represents a 17 percent increase from 2004, when only 31 percent supported gay marriage and nearly twice as many Americans opposed it (Pew Research Center, 2012). Combined with efforts from Logo and a large combination of activists have allowed for this sweeping change within America considering it was a awkward topic 10 years before and was taboo over 20 years

Same sex marriage has been broadly debated in countless countries for a long time. It is a major issue because it deals with moral and human rights. A gay person has the right to do anything that a heterosexual person has the right to do. Who deemed one sexuality greater than the other? Love is love and a person should never be penalized for who he or she loves President (Obama Supports Same-Sex Marriage).

The recent legalization of gay marriage in all fifty states of the United States has sparked significant discussion and media coverage over gay rights in the US. Before its legalization in 2015, gay marriage was legal in only thirty-seven states. Over the past two decades, general attitude of US citizens toward gay marriage has significantly improved and shown a positive light towards further advancement for gay rights in the face of adversity.

The LGBT community has made new laws each day to bring equality to all. “Throughout its, 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” (LGBT Equality). When the US discriminates against a certain thing people retaliate and rise up and try to make new laws to help their cause. The LGBT community has been striving to bring equality in many ways. The LGBT community has made great strides in gaining equality of same-sex marriage, gay adoption, and transgender equality.

The political aspects of whether same-sex couples should be allowed to federal and government recognized marriages are a very complex issue. There are basically two sides to the political argument of whether same-sex couples should be allowed to marry. On one side are the liberals who feel that marriage is a civil right that should be denied based on the basis of a person's sexual orientation. On the other side you have conservatives who feel that marriage is an institution in which should only constitute one man and one woman. In this report we are going to examine how the issue of same-sex marriages are affecting our current political environment, how politics is affecting the movement for
