Gay Marriage Is Morally Wrong

A child who is raised in a homosexual household is more likely to grow an affinity for the same sex. They will also experience bullying more often whether it be in school or just walking down the street because not everyone agrees with the homosexual relationships, which can have a negative effect in the child's life. This is the first step to destroying traditional household.

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.

Same-sex marriage has been a subject that is widely discussed throughout generations, many are for it, and many are against the thought of it. It should be allowed because there are many economic benefits that could come along with allowing all types of marriage. Many ideas of why homosexual marriage is morally wrong are discussed and put to the ultimate test as to why it is actually right. Obama is a perfect example of what the government should strive to be, but are not. Obama puts aside all personal beliefs and tries to be equal to everyone, and truly see the sides to everybody. Many people have reasons as to why they are against this type of marriage, the downfall to all of their reasoning is that it is personal, and that shouldn’t cloud

In one article by Marcia Malory, “Homosexuality & Choice: Are Gay People ‘Born This Way’”, she goes into multiple studies on the genetics of a gay child's parents. A study conducted in 1993 the “gay gene” matter arose when it was looked into the homosexual children's parents having a different X chromosome marker. Nonetheless genes do not control our behavior completely as does environment. The brain may also play a role in sexual preference, like the study in 1991 showing the difference in neurons and pituitary glands. Later in the 2000s more studies showed that gay men have more symmetrical hemisphere and amygdala resembles that of women's. The brain develops in the womb and continues through late adulthood. When did a fetus choose its

A gay couple from Indianapolis who have waited to marry for years have been quoted as saying: “We 're positive because the mindset in this nation seems to be that it is unconstitutional to say that our marriages are different from any other marriage.” (pro-con,1) This means that gay people are staying optimistic. Prohibiting gay marriage is considered discrimination to gays because the government is not giving homosexual couples the same rights as gay heterosexuals, which is also unconstitutional. Therefore, same-sex couples should have access to the same marriage benefits and public acknowledgment enjoyed by heterosexual couples. (pro-con,1)

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.

When viewing the United States’ acceptance of homosexuality there have been spikes and plateaus in its progression. Today, a majority of the states in the nation allow same-sex marriage; however, in some of these states, homosexual couples are not able to receive the same Social Security benefits as heterosexual couples (Mushovic, 2011). This clearly demonstrates that although the nation has made great strides in treating homosexuals as equals, there is still some sanding around the edges that needs to be performed. When viewed in this aspect, it is seen that progress for homosexuals to be treated as equals is being made slowly, but surely.

When people utter the words “gay gene”, they are oversimplifying a concept that is much more complex, and has much more history than what the phrase is able to portray. The theory of the gay gene is over a hundred years old, and has seen a few iterations and specifications as to what it actually entails. Whether it holds true, or not, is yet to be seen, however, there has been many studies that may lend a helping hand in determining and identifying possible correlations between biological make-up, and the predisposition to homosexuality.

In the North American Journal of Psychology, William Jenkins, the author of “Can Anyone Tell Me Why I’m Gay,” reviews research that has attempted to determine what causes an individual to develop a

Of the many societal customs engrained in humanity, marriage may be one of the most prevalent. For most of history, man and woman have displayed their capacity for affection through this formality; and, for most of history, marriage has been limited to only man and woman. Like marriage, however, homosexuality too has existed for thousands of years. One could even argue that it is simply a part of human nature. Nonetheless, those who identify as anything but heterosexual have been persecuted for hundreds of years. In the United States of America, gay marriage has been legal since 2015 -- and although legal, the opposition persists to this day through politicians and religious groups. For example, while the Constitution of the United States

"The social argument for homosexuality dates back to the ancient Greeks. Aristophanes, in his Symposium investigates homosexuality, although not termed as such, as a desire by men to share a long-term fulfillment of the soul. He believed that two souls are longing to be together, and the sexual desire alone is not strong enough to create homosexuality, but that the cultural environment allows or forbids the relationship to occur" (Heffner, 2003). The debate about homosexuality dates back further than expected. However, it does not matter how far back it goes, there is still the same result, homosexuality is not biological and homosexuals are not "born this way". "Groups supporting gay and lesbian relationships [did not emerge] until after World War II," (Morris, 2015). Research being done today to prove that homosexuality is biological has yet to have solid evidence to support that theory. Therefore, the start up of these groups were quite unnecessary. Homosexuality, at most, is a psychological disorder, meaning it is all in the person 's head. It can be caused by a multitude of things and can be changed with a little help from others. Although there is no irrefutable evidence regarding the origins of sexual preference there is significant historical and sociological support, that homosexuality is environmentally derived.

Homosexuals ,lesbians, and gays are all names given to people who make the choice to be different from society’s unwritten rules. They ignore the testaments that obstruct their god-given right to love. Sexual Orientation determined by choice because anyone can make the decision to ignore straight tendencies, sexual orientation is a matter of self-affirmation, if homosexuality was more socially acceptable there would not be a reason to research if the act of being “gay” is genetic.

3.8% of Americans are either gay or lesbian. Gay marriage is a very controversial topic in today's world. Some people are against it and others are for it. Gay marriage should not be legalized because not only does it violate laws, but it affects religion.

Human Sexuality is an important facet of our idea of self and who we are in life. The act of human reproduction is undeniably necessary for the continuation of the human race. Whether we choose to practice reproduction as nature intended via coitus between a man and a woman or to parent children that were conceived under unorthodox methods such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization our humanity can only continue to exist if we create more of ourselves. The most socially accepted expression of sexual identity is heterosexuality which is defined as sexual attraction to the opposite sex where sex is defined biologically by the gonads, male genitalia and female genitalia. At the other end of the spectrum are those identified as homosexual defined by same sex attraction or attraction to those who are biologically similar to themselves at the gonadal level. Being human we are aware of the pleasure that can be derived through sexual acts and have evolved to explore this side of our selves at times independent of the desire to procreate. I would argue that this desire is nature’s way of rewarding us for forwarding our genetics to future generations and that it is indeed quite natural to explore our desire for pleasure via sexual conduct. However as humanity has developed social influences, such as religion and the idea of what is normal, have demonized those possessing

“We’re here, we’re queer, get over it.” In 1990, these words, shouted and displayed proudly on signs waved by the activist group, Queer Nation, were revolutionary. Never, not since the Stonewall Riots, had non-straight, non-cis people been so vocal about their existence and demanded acceptance – something that straight people take for granted on a daily basis. However, in the years since the Riots, LGBT activism has become much more mainstream, no longer whispered about behind closet doors or something to be wholly ashamed of. Gay marriage is legal in all 50 United States, something that has been fought for since the conception of the LGBT movement. In fact, gay couples are routinely being featured on popular television and other forms of media. Some might say that in 2016, the dreams of the rioters in Stonewall have been realized. Marriage rights and the spotlight on nighttime television; equality seems to truly be right on the horizon.
