Pros And Cons Of Same Sex Marriage

In “Laws Should Support Loving Households, Straight or Not” (2002), Becky Birtha argues that homosexual couples should have the same right to adopting kids as heterosexual couples.

People have the choice on who they want to have kids with, no matter what sexual orientation; 15 states in the U.S. agree. Gay adoption is when people of the same sex want to adopt a child. There is an estimate of 2,000,000 people in the LGBT community that are interested in adopting. As the result of only having 15 states allowing gay adoption, only 4% of the adopted children are adopted by gay people or lesbians. This has been an issue for hundreds of hundreds of years. People that are in a same sex marriage should be allowed to adopt because people in the LGBT community don't parent differently, sexual orientation doesn't affect the ability to be a "good" or "normal" parent, and gay couples or people are treated differently for no reason.

In our fast paced society the Norms are changing and evolving for Homosexuals and their rights. Every child in foster care and adoption agencies deserve to have a family regardless of the parents Sexual orientation. The United States is considered a liberal country if that is so then homosexuals should have the right across the nation that is “united” to adopt a child.

In the past few years, the United States has matured to be more accepting towards its gay and lesbian citizens. The LGBT community slowly becoming represented in society, and gay marriage was recently declared a Constitutionally-guaranteed right in all 50 states. However, there are still many challenges to overcome before equality is guaranteed for all. One of the important rights that gay and lesbian couples have yet to fully attain is the opportunity to apply for an adoption without experiencing harsh criticism from adoption agencies and agency officials, along with encountering the clashing morals from a majority of society. The discrimination faced by homosexual couples in the adoption process is unjust, and the United States should recognize

“Marco Rubio is running for President, pledging a constitutional amendments to define marriage between a man and a women, that scares me,” Pruter said. “Constitutional amendments are incredible hard to overturn so if that get passed that’s another fifty –sixty years that the LGBT community has been taken back.”

Gay adoption is a touchy subject to a lot of people. Even though gay adoption became legal in all 50 states on June 26, 2017 everyone still seems to have an opinion on the matter and a lot of the opinions lean toward not allowing gay couples to adopt. There are so many children in the foster care system that need loving and stable homes so why not let gay couples give that to them? There is a lot of evidence to show that gay couples can be just as good at parenting as a straight couple. Maybe even better due to them being committed and better motivated because they chose to be parents. No child should be denied parents that will give them a loving and stable home just as no couple should be denied a child due to their sexual preference.

Opponents of LGBT adoption question whether same-sex couples have the ability to be adequate parents (see LGBT parenting) while other opponents question whether natural law implies that children of adoption possess a natural right to be raised by heterosexual parents. Since constitutions and

Another reason that Gay and Lesbian couples should be allowed to adopt is because there aren’t many people willing to adopt children, so any good people no matter what their sexuality is should be allowed to adopt. These children could go into the foster system, but adopting is much better, and it can be safer.

First, similar-sex couples should be allowed to adopt children because of the equal human rights. United States of America, as a nation, is known to be equal and fair to everybody. America is a nation where black and white are treated equally, men and women are equal, but why not the homosexual couples are treated equally. After all, similar- sex couples are also considered a human being; they are naturally bone the way they are. Homosexual couples should be respected as well. Therefore, homosexual couples deserve same rights as normal couples deserve.

We have seen wars on equal rights for different races, slavery ending in the United States, rights for women to vote, and so many others. The newest issue we have in our society is creating equal rights for LGBT couples. While many states have been allowing LGBT couples the right to marry, they still struggle for the right to adopt children. The right to adopt a child is very important to many LGBT couples, as they cannot physically create a child themselves. LGBT couples should legally be allowed to adopt as many of these couples simply want what most traditional hetorosexual couples want, which is a family. Since LGBT couples cannot physically create their children like traditional couples, they only have two options of getting a glimpse into parenthood, and both involve

We live in America on the land of the freedom, where citizens are promise liberty. Today, I would be explaining the pros and cons of constitutionality of marriage equality. As many things happening in our world, marriage equality has been an issue for many years. Where LGBT community were not allowed to get marry under the law. Is one of the most recognized topic in the United States. Drastically it has caused a mass of controversy among society and the government. Socially there is a part of the world that agrees and others oppose.

When a person thinks about marriage, they usually think of a man and a woman. With more and more people getting married, it is all opening the door to gay marriage. No matter whom the person is, or what sex they chose to marry they should be treated the same. If a man and man want to unite in marriage and announce their love to each other, they should be able to and it should be accept in our society. If a female and another female are inmate it is considered arousing however, if those same woman want to make a commitment to each other it is then deemed unacceptable. Why should society be able to dictate who gets to marry whom, and how they get to live their lives?

One reason why I believe homosexual couples should have the same adoption rights as heterosexual couples is because, they tend to be naturally more open minded to accepting their child’s lifestyle choices. They would be more understanding and caring. And it’s less likely that the child will be facing abuse and neglect.They are more committed and supporting parents. “Gay parents tend to be more motivated, more committed than heterosexual parents on average, because they chose to be parents."(Pappas) This makes the children feel safe because, they know their parents will support them and be there for them. I feel that, the sexuality of a child’s parents should not affect their outlook on certain things or how they carry themselves. It’s the quality of the parent and child relationship that really matters. “An upbringing in a same-sex household can give kids a boost of confidence.”(Pappas)

Coming out as a homosexual is tough task in and of itself. If you come to this realization after you already have a family, it becomes even harder. At this point, your decision no longer just affects you. Embracing your true identity has the potential to shatter your loved ones lives. It can be very hard for your children grasp or understand how somebody who married the other gender can be a homosexual. Your significant other, the person who you were supposed to love unconditionally, now has to try to cope with the idea that the person she married no longer finds her romantically attractive. One can only imagine the gossip about yourself that will be spread around the community and workplace.

Words panned across the bottom of the screen and my young brain was filled with these negative preconceived notions about homosexuality and same sex marriage. Sitting on the edge of my parent’s bed, I was enthralled by the Fox News’s coverage over the topic of legalizing same sex marriage. Right then was first time I truly became aware of the social issue but I was too young to formulate my own opinion; I didn’t know enough about the topic so I trusted the authority of the show. By the time the segment wrapped up, the idea of homosexuality and having same sex parents seemed weird to me. These people must just be weird. I never met someone who was homosexual, and at that point I wasn’t planning on it.
