Persuasive Essay On Gay Rights

The LGBT community in the United States has always had massive difficulty fitting into our society. For many years they put up with constant mistreatment and other forms of abuse coming from the those who do not agree with their lifestyle. They have for long advocated for the acceptance of their existence and punishment for crimes committed against them. One of the hardest battles the community has had to face was the right to marry in a society that still holds the values of a traditional relationship which is between a male and female. The struggle was quite harsh but it all paid off by 2015 when the supreme court granted gay couples the right to marry. This historical decision did not go without outcry and criticisms. Most of the dissatisfaction came from those who hold very religious values and beliefs that claims homosexuality is a sin. Religion has always been a part of the American way of life since the nation's founding and with that homosexuality has been demonized throughout our society. Now that gay couple possess the legal rights to have a marriage license, religious companies and/or stores are now denying service to LGBT couples as they believe it sinful on their behalf to even take part. Many people gay or straight who fought for gay rights believe these is pure discrimination and that stores should not have the right to deny service for any customer for any reason. However, this belief is unconstitutional and goes

The current context of LGBTQ+ and women’s rights such as abortion with the recent election of President Trump was the inspiration for my research. I feel it is important for everyone to know when there has potentially been a violation of right’s, no matter the side one person and one vote can make a difference in so many lives. My mind has always been overcome with questions that relate to religion and the role it plays in politics. I have found through personal experience that religion plays in integral part in the political decision making of many individuals. These questions led me to formulate a formal question to give direction to my research. This question is, “How has Christianity impacted the passage of LGBTQ+ and women’s rights laws

All families face challenges in their everyday life. For some, the challenges are easier to handle while for others, surmounting those challenges can be more difficult. Over the years, the LGBT community in the US has faced many hurdles. Whether it’s the legalization of same-sex marriage to adoption rights to alimony, child support and child custody in case of divorce, legislation specific to gay and lesbian couples still has a long way to go.

Next month will be very exciting for the LGBTQ community, when several of the openly LGBTQ communities, athletes will head to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics to compete, which will be the most LGBTQ’s to participate in the Winter Olympics than ever before. Nonetheless, there were also seven openly LGBTQ athletes who competed in the Sochi games in 2014, which were all female athletes in the LGBTQ community

American citizens should have the freedom to choose who they want to be and who they want to love. To deny people the basic human right to love and be loved is a form of oppression that the United States should not and will not tolerate. The LGBT community has been oppressed for too long, and it’s time for a change. I fully support and commend the 2015 Supreme Court decision to legalize same sex marriage. It is a great leap of progress forward, but we have many more miles to go. I have advocated for legislation to protect LGBT rights since the very beginning of my campaign and I will not cease until each American citizen can confidently choose to be who they want to be without

Approximately, 8.8 million United States citizens are considered to be apart of the LGBT community. With these numbers on the rise, homicide rates regarding LGBT people in the last five-seven years appear to be climbing and staying that way. Because of these statistics that are increasing every day, it is crucial that protection laws be put in place for the benefit of LGBT people.

Everyday people have to walk around being criticized because of the type of person they are and they are talked down to, violated, abused and sometimes even killed. No one should ever have to walk around fearful to show affection to the person they are with because they are of the same gender. A person shouldn't have to be frightened to use the bathroom because they are transgender it was their option and change in life they shouldn't have to carry that burden on them. Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, and queers are people and they are human beings just like the rest of the people and they should have rights just the same as the people around them. LGBTQ rights and state laws have changed a numerous amount of times because of the

The debate between whether gay marriage should be legalized or not has been a controversial topic recently. In the past twelve years, equal marriage rights have been legalized in 6 states of the U.S.. Eighteen states do not allow gay marriage and do not recognize civil unions. The other twenty six states allow civil unions, and some are debating legalizing gay marriage. Gay marriage should be legal across the United States.

From June 2015 to June 2016, 123,000 gay couples were wed. This was a 33% increase in same-sex marriages in the United States in the year 2015. Why did all of this happen within one year? Thanks to Jim Obergefell, on June 26th, 2015, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all fifty states and required each state to recognize same-sex marriages from other states. This had been a contested issue for nearly fifty years. But why did Jim Obergefell’s case win this time? With the help of Justice Anthony Kennedy and the Fourteenth Amendment, Jim Obergefell and the entire LGBT community were able to freely marry legally. Obergefell claimed that the state’s action of denying his marriage violated the Fourteenth Amendment and was therefore unconstitutional. After the case made its way to the Supreme Court, Justice Kennedy was the swing vote for the case.

"Gay rights are just one of the social issues I'm interested in. I think that people might be less tense about it if we would all accept the fact that not everyone is wired the same way." (Charlene Harris) Injustice supervenes quotidian, and as citizens, we acquiesce. Homosexual, Does that antagonize you? The aura shifts. Homosexual unity is considered illegitimate for clueless, feeble-minded community, but why? A robust majority of the society, commencement would mention religion. The Bible declares that a marriage should be between man and woman. How can you be a homosexual, but go to the sanctuary and accolade God? It is conceivable. Antecedent, the bible says we should show fondness to one and other, yet why do we hesitate to homosexuals? Individuals classified as homosexual are seen as an atrocity. Personally, we obliterate the certitude homosexuals are human beings. Yet, privately seem to classify ourselves as humans after we are critics to them.

Love is a human right that every individual should be able to experiment in their own way. Same-sex couples should have the right to get married because they have civil rights like all other citizens. The world should not disregard them from society, but unfortunately that is the way it is. All states should legalize gay marriage to show that the country is prepared to accept all kinds of people without discrimination.

Throughout history there have been thousands of times when people have been treated unfairly for characteristics that they cannot help. Most of these, such as race, sex, and religion, have been allowed to be themselves and have the rights they deserve. However, there is one major group that, even to this day, is still denied their basic human rights. This group is the group of people who have a different sexual, romantic, or gender orientation that most people, otherwise known as LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and others). LGBT+ people should be allowed to have basic freedoms, such as using the bathroom of their choice and being able to marry. This is supported by several facts. These people are only people, and therefore should have the same rights as any other person. Denying them their rights would be, and is, morally wrong and is a repeat of times in history when other groups were persecuted against. Finally, regardless of your beliefs, stopping someone from being a happy human being because their decisions go against your religion is wrong. That is like a Christian stopping a Jew from celebrating different holidays.

Being against same sex rights is a version of discrimination. It’s wrong and you should not be against it. This shows you have something against people . Also if the US law says there should not be discrimination.This shows that you are not giving them what there givinging you and this show you think different

On June 26, 2015, a huge victory was made for the gay rights movement when the Supreme Court ruled by a 5 to 4 vote guaranteeing a right to same-sex marriage. While this is a great achievement, a problem has come up. Kentucky County Clerks have denied same-sex couples marriage licences a number of times even with the recent court ruling. This is discriminatory and should be acted on immediately; no couple should be denied their right to marriage and anyone who works in the government should abide by the law. This is plain and simple common sense, yet in today’s society, has to be argued about.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on two landmark, same-sex-marriage cases, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act and paving the way for same-sex marriage in California with their decision on Proposition 8. According to CNN’s article said “The swift road to marriage equality has produced millions of conversations around the dinner table and water cooler on the freedom of every American to marry the person they love. It is these conversations that have changed minds. But while we've reached the tipping point on marriage, there's still a ways to go for full LGBT equality, like ending bullying in schools and workplace discrimination,”(CNN, 2013) Kevin Nix, a spokesman for the LGBT advocacy group, Human Rights Campaign, said in a statement
