My Argument Against Gay Rights

On December 31, 1890 a transition in history occured. New York City would start a new era in the history of the United States starting with the opening of Ellis Island as an immigration depo. This attracted many immigrants to the United Stated because of more job opportunities and as means to start a new life. As more immigrants came to America, it began to be known as the "land of opportunities". Immigrants coming in filled work spaces in industries with the hopes of someday becoming successful. These immigrants helped prove to other future immigrants that if you moved to America then you could start a better life for yourself and your families. On the other hand with positives come negatives and there were many involving

There are many controversies surrounding today's world, such as abortion, animal testing, and social reform issues. It seems that no one can come to a common agreement on the legitimacy of these topics. Personal characteristics, such as upbringing, culture, religion and ethnicity, all play a role in determining one's feelings on a given controversial issue. However, one of the most protested and discussed issues in current political debate is same-sex marriage. There is no right or wrong answer to this question, only hard pressed arguments expressing speculation regarding supposed outcomes, benefits and possible tribulations that would come along with the endorsement of gay marriage. Such ideas are shown

To contravene God and the bible must be the incipient trend since homosexuals celebrate it and feel that is it ok to get espoused under God. Marriage is a sacred commitment between man and woman and the legalization of gay espousement threatens the Americans religious rights. This topic matters because Christians feel as if getting married under God is an act of dishonor and that it is irrelevant. Marriage should stay between a man and woman because that is verbalized in the bible, children are more likely to live a normal life, and religious beliefs are not being ignored.

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

After reading “Streetcar Named Desire” by Tenessee Williams, I decided to write a book review geared towards adult readers. Through this review I wanted to show my understandings of the play, and stating how intrigued it kept me. Book review is the ideal type of text where the author is able to express freely his opinion about the play. People that are looking for recommendations often read book reviews about it. My aim was to highlight the reason why this play is a masterpiece and inquire the author’s writing style. The battle between genres was constant throughout the play, and made the reader empathize with certain characters depending on your own sex. The ending of the novel is all about brutal and tragic irony. I was continually desiring

The struggle for gay rights is an ongoing political debate and has often been described as the next big step forward in human rights. In many countries gay rights groups openly protest primarily for the right to marry as heterosexual couples do. Do you believe that in America people persecute homosexuals?

Equal rights for homosexuals and others of the LGBT community have been a source of controversy for years now. Homosexuals have been punished for their sexual preference since as early as 1290. In present times, however, the main issues in question come down to marriage, adoption, and bullying. As of today, not all states allow same-sex marriage or same-sex adoption. Bullying has also proved to be a big issue in the LGBT community and it has accounted for about 30% of suicides in the LGBT community. Controversy and debate follow this topic to this day and some states have come to accept certain aspects of it, though there’s still work to be done.

On December 28, 2014 Leelah Alcorn, a transgender student, committed suicide after being rejected by her Christian parents and peers. Her parents’ beliefs prevented her from transitioning from a male-to-female, and constricted her from acting among her wishes as a transgender person by sending her to conversion therapy. Although it was a rash decision for her to take away her life in order to obtain rights for the LGBT community as a whole, there are many cases like Leelah’s that continue as of today because transgender people do not feel comfortable in a transphobic society. A large controversy concerning this issue is the bathroom policy which consists if a person should have the right to go to a restroom that they feel like they belong, not concerning their sex assigned at birth. However, this bathroom controversy is not the only thing that Leelah Alcorn or many others died for. Leelah wanted to defy society’s beliefs against their bigotry against transgenderism.

How can we be so backward as the most technologically advanced generation in the history of the world? How is it that in a world full of social interaction on the internet, giving us countless relationships and connections on a day-to-day basis, can we be so blind to the needs of one specific group of people? I’m referring to the LGBT community. In this time of social integration and communal thought, there is still a hate driven, homophobic, and isolationist treatment of these people. What I intend to illustrate is why the LGBT community should be accepted.

The news has recently said that a few gay activists showed their celebration of their victory on their rights for gay marriage by waving an American flag. The only issue is that the American flag was altered to their liking. They decided the good old stars and stripes was no longer good enough for them so they decided to have rainbowed stripes put on top of our flag. I understand that they have rights to celebrate or marry or whatever but they should not go unpunished for making a mockery of the flag that we have U.S soldiers constantly dying to represent. They thought it would be better if it had “a little more color” says an activist in an interview. They are trying to get the flag legally changed so people

            The American dream is one of freedom and equality. It’s supposed to be branded in the hearts of every United States citizen however, when it comes to homosexuals, citizens of the United States wake up and the dream is demolished. Gay sex marriage is the most conflicting issue in the contemporary social world. Marriage is an association of persons through which we perceive the reflection of a particular culture. It is basically a private matter and a fundamental human right. People should have the right to decide with whom they marry, not the state. If two persons are closed to each other regardless of their gender, they

I am writing in regard to an article written by Leigh Keily. This article, “Liam Payne: On his wild nights, gay rights, and why homophobia should be a thing of the past,” published in Attitude's October edition, is contradictory to the LGBTQ+ community and is disparaging to your credibility as a pro-gay publication.

Same sex marriage: A civil right or a moral wrong? In many eyes same sex marriage is a disgusting thing that should not be allowed. In some cases, dating as far back as the early 1800s, men were castrated, and sometimes even killed. In more recent times, gays, lesbians, and transgender people have become more accepted, but there is still a vast amount of people who want to kill people like that. The people in the LGBT community are often denied adoption, for reasons that are not valid, such as “Lesbian and gay people are more likely y be child molesters.” There has also been many lawsuits involving the mistreatment of LGBT people. People in the LGBT community are often denied the basic rights of heterosexual couples because of

Born January 19, 1809, Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. American short-story writer, poet, critic, and editor Edgar Allan Poe 's tales of mystery and horror initiated the modern detective story, and the atmosphere in his tales of horror is unrivaled in American fiction. His The Raven (1845) numbers among the best-known poems in national literature, The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers as well as madmen, burials of the premature kind, and mysterious women who have return from death . His works have been in print since early 1827 and included such classics as “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Raven,” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.” This writer’s queue includes short

People are born homosexual. If you are homosexual you cannot get married. That idea is ridiculous. On June 26, 2015, the US Supreme Court ruled that the US Constitution guarantees the right for same-sex couples to marry. Marriage is defined as a sacred bond of love between two people. Gay people also feel love therefore, they should be allowed the same rights as everyone else in this country. Homosexuality is an accepted lifestyle nowadays with a proven biological causation. The only thing that should matter in marriage is love and denying them this is a violation of religious freedom.
