Gay Marriage Should Be Banned From 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.

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.

Homosexuality has become a significant factor among individuals in today’s society. Once a taboo that was never discussed, many people hid their sexual orientation. Now, homosexuality has become more common as newer generations have become more open-minded. The rise in the LGTB movement has allowed people to openly express their sexuality without being discriminated against. Although homosexuality has become more socially acceptable, some states still have anti-gay laws and there are numerous individuals who believe that gay marriage is harmful and unnatural. Hozier’s “Take Me to Church,” Demi Lovato’s “Really Don’t Care” and Macklemore’s “Same Love” demonstrate society’s discrimination of homosexuals and why homosexuality should be accepted and respected through the lyrics and images in the videos.

America! What image of America is instilled in your mind? Perhaps a land where there are strong, hardworking men and women, whose children play baseball in the summer, get great grades in the school year, and even attend church every Sunday as a family. These are qualities of a traditional American family, increasingly becoming a thing of the past. We once were a God fearing nation and we’ve become a God challenging nation. America would lose its luster if gay marriage was legalized. Six states have already legalized gay marriage and approximately 41% of the United States population supports gay marriage (“Gay Marriage Statistics”). We all claim there is someone for everyone, and if someone loves another person, then let them be, but there is no value or moral in this

Some people have unnecessary opinions on other people. One of the strongest arguments that happened recently is gay marriage. Although in America it has been legalized in all fifty states and some of the battle is done, it doesn’t stop all the problems. People who are gay in states that had formerly banned gay marriage are in danger. There are those who so strongly object to same sex marriage that they could take action by harming those who benefit. Then there is the whole “people can choose to be gay”, and religion aspect to it.

Gay Marriage should not be allowed anywhere on this Earth. Charles Colson, a contributing editor of the Christianity Today magazine and a radio commentator, was against gay marriage in his article, he wrote “Gay “Marriage”: Societal Suicide.” Many people can flood both sides of this argument, but are mainly against gay marriages. Gay marriage is a sin, violates the natural law, children should be raised by a mother and father, and the rights should not be equal if they choose to disobey God. However, Katha Pollitt a poet and essayist, is all for gay marriage in her article, “What’s wrong with Gay Marriage?”

Rahime-Malik Howard Sociology 1301-93431 Gay Marriage Getting married is something that most people do when they find love, which it is an important event in their life. The GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) community now get the legal right of same-sex marriage, which they have fought for throughout the years; on the other hand, some opponents of same-sex marriage have called for a constitutional change towards it. Although there were some countries that allowed gay marriage before the United States, in June 26, 2015 a very important day for the GLBT community and American history since congress voted on making legal same sex marriage in all 50 states. The GLBT community should be allowed to marry as

Marriage was originally intended as the union of two people of opposite gender in order to create a procreation flesh. The problem with this is that a gay marriage, or union of two males or two females, would produce an entirely sterile couple who could not produce children with each other. Although seemingly harmless, this

Currently, the Webster’s New World Dictionary defines the word married as being husband and wife, yet there are millions of gay activists who are fighting for a new meaning. They believe marriage is more than a piece of paper and a set of rings. The hope is that marriage could be defined as a “public recognition of a private commitment” or “emotional, financial, and psychological bond” between two people (Sullivan 53). Gay activists believe that taking away the ability to have a publicly recognized relationship or an accepted union is an infringement of their public equality. However, non-supporters of this cause believe that gay marriage is “an attack on the institution of marriage” (Capello 25). These dissenting opinions are what

“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.

Marriage is considered as hypothetically speaking, a rite of passage whilst from the religious point of view, it is considered as holy matrimony before a supreme being. Attraction between individuals of the same sex has been a topic of debate since time immemorial. However, over the past few years gay individuals have opted to air grievances of oppression despite receiving tremendous critics from the public. Initially, gay marriages were unfathomable events to the mere mind and culminated in the rise of heated debates between the supporters and critics among the church being at the forefront. However, times are different now, and gays are becoming more accepted in the society as well as all that pertains to daily lives such as marriage, gay events just to mention but a few. This argumentative essay focuses on the central issues of gay marriage and evaluating arguments on whether the gay marriage should be legalized.

In discussions of gay marriage one controversial issue has been whether or not it should be legalized. On the one hand, some people argue that gay marriage should not be accepted in our society. On the other hand, some people believe that gay marriage should be legalized. Others even maintain that gay marriage is not a problem, and we should respect the preferences of everyone. My personal view is that gay marriage is not a big issue because we are in a free country, where everyone has to respect the preferences of each other, and does not matter the sex preference because we are all the same.

At this point I would like to raise some objections that have come to my mind. Many will probably disagree on the grounds that gay rights or same sex marriage should be banned or that it’s wrong under their religions. With that there are many factors that contradict against gay rights, such as religion, child adoption, and divorce just to name a few. Roger Severino, a graduate from Harvard Law School, and has a master in public policy claims the negative collusions that are against gay rights (924). Severino tells us that gay marriage conflicts with religious beliefs because it ruins the traditional marriage between a man and a woman and it ruins the definition of marriage (941-946). Similarly with the article, “Should Gay Marriage Be Legal?” from ProCon.org presents several bad aspects about same sex marriage. Some of the negative aspects presented in this article are that marriage has always been recognized as two heterosexual people. For example, in 1971 the Supreme Court confirmed that “the institution of marriage as a union of man and woman, uniquely involving the procreation and rearing of children within a family” (Should Gay Marriage Be Legal). The article mentions that since homosexuals will not be able to reproduce, they are most likely adopt children, but the problem with this is that a child needs both of their heterosexual parents. It has been proven that a child who is raised under a same sex couple have more difficult lives than those raised by heterosexual

This paper discusses homosexuality in our society, particularly in granting homosexual couples a right to marry. The pros and the cons throw out a ton of arguments supporting their position. This issue, whether or not the same-sex marriage should be allowed, is extremely controversial and the debates never end. In this paper, I take the pro side by providing strong both qualitative and quantitative data, how the homosexual marriage can benefit society, how far they have fought for their rights, etc.
