Same Sex Marriage Should Be Legal

When it comes to politics and the power associated with it, the first thing that must be noted is that much more is involved than the people, or in this case, the politicians. Ideas and concepts play a crucial role in the political process. Therefore, just like the previous example of the hospital, there are lots of moving parts, hence, actors, involved in politics. There are people, places, and communication mediums involved. Even getting a message out depends on a channel or venue through which that message must travel to reach the

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.

The use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or “wrong moves” in the construction of an argument are a fallacy. In a fallacious argument there might a deceptive by appearing to be better than it really is (Google). The two politicians debates, I decided to analyze were democrat Pat Quinn and republican Bruce Rauner. In these debates, I will be focusing on the fallacies that are used with what each politician is arguing. In political debates, each opponent will always use prepped material to make the other side look unsatisfactory, to earn another winning vote. Politics are won by lies, promises that are never achieved, and issues that will always remain unfixed.

“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.

While the depths of how the government ultimately makes every decision for the citizens, we realize that everything in social today is based off of politics and political standings. While some may argue that political issues do not matter in real life, others may differ due to the fact that political issues do matter in real life. From elections affect the general public, and those attempting to find the greater good and common ground for citizens within societies we realize that there is no such thing as a world without politics. For instance, day-to-day errands such as: driving a car, grocery shopping, or meeting our everyday needs are brought to us by something political or someone within the community of politics. “53% feel they have a political voice in this country” (“Statistics on High School Students and Teenagers,” 2012) This essay argues that political issues do matter in real life, due to the fact that politics interferes with the society, the economy, and those within it. Ideally those within the society controls the political standings, hence political ideas do matter in real life. Though from time to time being unable to clearly

To begin this assessment, we ask the question, how why and how does politics play a role in government. Initially, the answer is obvious; politics is the process by which governments operate. However, for this essay the definition of politics has a more distinctive and idiosyncratic meaning. What we find with politics is that it is found in all organizations, both public and private. Organizational politics refers to how people develop power and social networks in attempts to influence others in the group. People use strategies like coalitions, alliances, bargains, or deal making to engage others to influence decision-making and outcomes. In most cases people use politics to seek positive outcomes but we have also seen where negative results are the consequence (Denhardt, Denhardt & Aristigueta, 2013, p. 238).

On June 26, 2015, the US Supreme Court ruled that the US Constitution guarantees the right for same-sex couples to marry. This is additional proof of something we have been taught in schools all our lives. America is the land of the free, which gives each legal citizen the right of privacy, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. If you are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or Buddhist, you are welcome in this country.

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.

Marriage, by definition, is the legally or formally recognized union of a man and a Woman (or, in some jurisdictions, two people of the same sex) as partners in a relationship. In some cases, marriage between two people of the same sex is more commonly known as gay marriage. Here in the United States of America, it is believed that every citizen should have inalienable rights, yet LGBTQ communities are constantly denied of their human rights as an American. Due to their sexual orientation, they are discriminated and gay marriage is viewed as inhumane. Whether a person is Caucasian, Negro, gay, straight, transgender or queer, they need to be given all equal rights as citizens of the United States. In fact, as of October 21, 2014, same-sex marriage has been legalized in thirty-two states in the United States: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Washington, Maine, Maryland, California, Delaware, Rhode Island, Minnesota, New Jersey, Hawaii, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Nevada, West Virginia, North Carolina, Idaho, Alaska, Arizona and Wyoming (“Gay Marriage Pros and Cons” (2014). There are several reasons as to why people are against the legalization of same-sex marriage, yet the three most prominent are the possibility in the rise of divorce rates, the possible legalization of all marriage, and the development of a child in a same-sex partnership household (“Gay Marriage Pros

Same sex marriage is now allowed in all states across the country. But it took years and years for this “issue” to be finally laid to rest. The first state to legalize same-sex marriage was Massachusetts in 2004. There was not a last state to legalize gay marriage. The supreme court realized how many states were now legalizing it, so they just had all of the states left legalize it as well. ProCon.org supplies information that “Twenty-six states were forced to legalize gay marriage because it was the court 's decision, eight by state legislators, three by popular vote, twelve by state law, and one by constitutional amendment (Par 1). Some positive outcomes now that it is legal to marry the same sex is that the adoption process will be easier, and gay suicides will lower. Now that same sex marriage is legal, discrimination rates should decrease.

Marriage is not precisely the same as it used to be interpreted. For example, women used to be their husband’s property. Sometimes the women were forced to marry whoever their parents wanted them to marry and most of the time they couldn’t leave the marriage. Nowadays women have more freedom. They can vote, they can run their own business, and they can marry whichever man they want to. The laws change as the people’s mind change. As they get more comfortable with the idea, they become more open minded with human rights. As of right now, there are ten states that allow gay marriages to be legal. Ten out of fifty is not a lot, but it’s progress.

“We hold these Truths to be self evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness…” (Declaration of Independence, US 1776). The recognition of same-sex marriage is an issue influenced by numerous factors, and debates continue to arise over whether people in same-sex relationships have the right to marriage. Marriage provides many benefits, legally, financially, and personally. Same-sex marriage can open up those in same-sex relationships to tax benefits and financial demands comparable to those afforded to and required of people in opposite-sex marriages. Same-sex marriage also gives them legal protections, such

Most people believe that they are entitled to the same rights granted by the government as others, regardless of their race, gender or sexual attitude, but not all citizens have obtained equal rights especially, gay and lesbians couples who have been refused the right to marry even if they are honourable citizens. Over the last few years, the legislation of same-sex marriage has faced many changes in some western countries while it has remained as a debatable subject in others.

Same-sex marriage can open up those in same-sex relationships to tax benefits and financial demands comparable to those afforded to and required of people in opposite-sex marriages. Same-sex marriage also gives them legal protections, such as hospital visitation rights and inheritances. The introduction of same-sex marriage laws has varied by jurisdiction, being variously accomplished through legislative change to marriage laws, a court ruling based on constitutional guarantees of equality, or by direct popular vote. Various faith communities around the world support allowing those of the same sex to marry, while many major religions oppose same-sex marriage. Why are people so opposed to homosexual marriage if it does not involve or hurt them? Many say it is because they are concerned about the wellbeing of society, despite multiple studies that show that same-sex couples help society and children around the globe.
