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

Before the ruling on June 26, 2015 for gay marriage to be legal in all fifty states, thirty seven out of the fifty and Washington D.C already legalized gay marriage. Many support gay marriage and many do not, with widespread values and reasons for and against it. Due to religion and rights people across the nation have differing views and opinions of it.In a five to four vote in the Supreme Court gay marriage became legalized in all fifty states. Shortly after that a few marriage officiators and marriage licenses people began refusing services and documents for gay marriage.Some states also started placing bans on gay marriage. Everyone is allowed their own bias on the issue, but take a moment and think about all the reasons the other side has.The legalizing of gay marriage should be accepted and acknowledged in all fifty states.

A 2014 Gallup poll shows that support for same sex marriage in the U.S. has hit an all-time high of 55%. Whether or not Gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to marry has been a hot topic of debate over the past few years. Although support for the right of same sex marriage has gained massive amounts of attention from the media in resent months, not all are in favor of the almost undeniable and unavoidable changes to the laws restricting these types of marriages. Every person has the right to love whomever they wish, and every couple deserves the right to substantiate that love through marriage, whether it be a heterosexual or homosexual relationship.

The United Stated of America consists of many different types of people, all who take pride in their freedom. Recently, we had seen the reality of our “freedom,” which some may not really have considered America the land of the free, homosexuals especially. Just like the “normal” citizen in America, homosexuals like the idea of the American dream as well. And most Americans believe in, or enjoy the idea of marriage. People get married all across the country; people of all races, religion, ethnicity, and as of June 26th, 2015, people of the same sex may also enjoy that privilege to be happy as well. Anyone who believes in love shall be able to marry as they please, regardless of their preferences.

Up until about ten years ago the thought of same-sex marriage in the United States was taboo and predominately looked at as wrong. This was only dreamt about for many yet over the decades it has become more and more a reality each day. In American society today they 're 35 States where gay marriage is legal and only 15 where it is not. Despite the number of states on board, the gay community still doesn 't have the same rights as heterosexuals. In most cultures, the LGBTQ community can 't adopt or marry, and a lot of religious still oppose homosexuality. Although the gay rights movement is extremely popular, should there be limits? Can homosexuals be just as good parents as heterosexual parents? Is it right for a child to grow up with

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 should be allowed to marry with each other (Eric). Legalizing gay marriage is granting same-sex couples the right to marry and would promote the separation of church and state, increase successful marriage rates and adoptions, decrease suicide, and ensure all American citizens have equal rights and opportunities. Gay marriages are currently illegal in the Unites States except in a few states. The prohibition of gay marriages is wrong because it is a prominent form of discrimination. Not only are homosexuals denied of their civil rights, they are also denied of economic and legal benefits. No government should be able to legally prohibit someone from showing their love for another person; it simply does not uphold the basic principles of the constitution (Clounds). The constitution states there is a separation of church and state. Religious beliefs shouldn 't

Don’t we all have the right to be happy? This is a common question that is raised, when it comes to the topic of same-sex marriage. Throughout the course of history the gay community has faced many challenges, from admitting to being homosexual to fighting for their rights. However, just recently the hot topic among gays is same-sex marriage. There are many that argue that same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and that all people should be ale to live as they want. On the other side of the spectrum, people argue that it is wrong because it says so in the Bible, or that it doesn’t follow traditional values, or even that it doesn’t promote procreation. The issue of same-sex marriage should not be an issue of debate; everyone should be able

The issue of whether to allow same-sex marriage in America is a controversial topic that is heavily debated upon. In my opinion, I feel that same-sex marriage should be allowed. This is due to several reasons. The right to marriage is an important civil right that should be allowed for same-sex couples, and this is so from a deontological standpoint as well. Marriage is able to bring about many positive benefits for same-sex couples and their families. Also, same-sex marriage has received support from many religious leaders. Furthermore, it does not have negative consequences on the institution of the American family, and could even have positive consequences. From a consequentialist point of view, it should be allowed too. In

In today’s world the idea of same-sex marriage for same-sex couples has been largely denied by many states. A same-sex couple is when two individuals of the same sex either man or woman are involved in a relationship. However they are unable to make it official since marriage is one of many rights and opportunities denied to them in society. This topic is controversial because homosexuals are seen almost everywhere with prejudice eyes and discrimination in toll because they are physically/emotionally involved with someone of the same gender. Same-sex couples should be granted the same rights and opportunities as heterosexual couples in society. A common argument is

Not too long ago, homosexual man and woman were victims of physical and verbal violence. Just because they were born with a different preference, they were insulted, discriminated, beaten and isolated from society. They were the ones being shamed for what they were, and made to believe that what they felt towards another individual was morally wrong and against humanity. Over the past decades same-sex relations were never considered, until same-sex marriage was approved as law in all 50 states(). Today we begin to embrace the lifestyle of homosexuals, and acknowledge the struggles of these individuals. Although same-sex marriage is a new topic for all of us, we are open to comprehend how marriage may assist these individuals in practicing a truly satisfying and harmonious life. This journey of understanding is built upon different standpoints of society. One of which, projects same-sex marriage as a possible advantage that brings commitment in the relationships and the benefits of being a guardian. In contrary, others believe this subject has created great change, confusion and nothing but a trail of thoughts, such as, what are effects of such companionship? Will our society suffer due to the redefinement of marriage and homosexual rights? Same-sex marriage still seems to be speculated by such groups, although, no negative effects were ever imposed, both on adopted children and their marriage.

Marriage is a choice. Some choose to be marry at an early age, and others choose to marry at some point in their lives. Some already planned when and where they will marry, others believe it will happen when the time comes. Some might not even believe in marriage at all. The opposing point of view of marriage between the religious and the non-religious has been going on for quite a while. It hasn’t been that long since the legalization of same sex marriage has been passed in some state. Meanwhile other states still question whether same sex marriage should be legalize. At the beginning of time, we based our morality and religious belief on The Bible. In modern society, it is arguable that marriage should only stay between man and woman.

Same sex marriage ought to be legalized on the grounds that it is uncivilized and unmerited. Marriage is a commitment between two people that cherish one another. In almost every country and culture, marriage is a commitment of loyalty and love. Marriage is an authority contract gathering two individuals together, furnishing them with profits of holy matrimony such as tax cuts and clinical privileges. The debate throughout most countries today is whether or not the rights of these profits and commitments should be legal to people of the same sex. My question is, Why not? Legalizing the same sex marriage is the right choice for most countries to make simply because it is socially, ethically, politically and economically the decision that will improve each country.

Marriage is defined as the union of a man and a woman and has been so for many years. Nowadays the controversial topic of same sex marriage or gay marriage is causing outbursts in the public and Government, especially those who are religious and find the union of two men or two women is a sin against God and the Church. The debate against legalizing same-sex marriage consists of arguments insisting that if two people love each other they should be able to marry, contradicting the current legislation of the union of a man and a women and ultimately comes down to human equality. Equality is defined as ‘the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities’ (Oxford Dictionaries, 2015). Although not everyone

In the contemporary society, there are many arguable interpretations of rights that people should be aware and debate. Any arguable issues always have two or more different sides, so people have to think, and sometimes we have to put ourselves in “someone else’s shoes”. There are several arguable issues such as human rights in developing or third world countries, racism or animal rights. However, same-sex marriage can be considered as one of the most arguable issues nowadays. It has been debated all over the world for several years because it relate to cultural components such as cognitive, material or human rights (lang8). Same-sex marriage can be known as a marriage between two people of the same sex. It can be performed in normal marriage ceremony if it happens in the countries that legalized same-sex marriage. Besides, there were a few cultures that accepted same-sex marriage in the past but it was rare in other cultures. For instance, in 2001, Netherland was known as the first country that allowed the marriages between two people of the same sex (lang8). Even though many gay or lesbian couples have expressed widely their sexuality than before, there are several people are against same-sex marriage all over the world. Therefore, same-sex marriage is really important because this issue relates to people civil rights, religion and people’s freedom. In addition, every person has their human rights and freedom so they want to do whatever they want, if it is not illegal. This

Same sex marriage is already legal in 37 states, but it it 's still banned in 13 states. A normal marriage has always been between a man and a woman marriage is for procreation and should not be extended to same- sex couples because they cannot produce children together. A human child should have a mother and a father. Gay marriage is the opposite to the word of god and is incompatible with the beliefs.” Marriage is a union between one man and one woman, designed of god to last so long so long they both shall live.” This shows the meaning of relationship between a man and a woman. Calling something marriage doesn’t make it marriage. The unfortunate situation of these children will be the norm for all children of a same sex “marriage” A
