The Pros And Cons Of Same-Sex Marriage

Marriage is a big thing in the U.S. In many religions marriage is to be between a man and woman. Recently the U.S. has experienced many gay marriages. Gay marriage was previously controlled by the states and whether or not that was legal. People involved in the gay community face a lot of hatred, harassed, and ridicule. There are pros and cons of being apart of a gay marriage. Pros are they have the same benefits that a heterosexual marriages, it is protected by the constitution, it is a civil right. As there are pros that means there have to be cons and some of those are children need both a father or mother the absence of one puts the child at higher risk for early sexual activity, legalizing gay marriage could lead down a "slippery slope," giving people in polygamous, incestuous, bestial, and other nontraditional relationships the right to marry, and gay couples will be looked upon as doing something wrong in the eye of religion.

In today’s world, controversies are everywhere, and impossible to avoid in regular day-to-day interactions. When you educate yourself on a controversial subject, you often discover how uneducated and occasionally bigoted other people can be. One such subject is sexuality. As time goes on, sexuality gains more visibility as a growing number of people come out as gay, transgender, and other sexual gender orientations. The LGBT+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* plus) community is a supposed safe place for those who identify as queer or trans* (umbrella terms referring to those who don’t identify with heterosexuality and those whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth, respectively). However, as with any rule, people will make exceptions. Though many offenders deny, obvious discrimination is seen against minority sexualities, such as asexuality and bisexuality, in forms of jokes and mockeries, invisibility, mislabelling, prejudice, and in some cases, innocent lack of knowledge, from both inside and outside the LGBT+ community.

First, gay marriage should not be allowed because of its religious immorality. Same-sex marriage is considered as unacceptable to almost every religion in the world. Marriage is established by God in Paradise for our first parents, Adam and Eve. Our Savior Jesus Christ taught: “From the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.” (Mark). Also, Genesis wrote, “God blessed them, saying: ‘Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.’” (“10 Reasons Why Homosexual “Marriage” is Harmful and Must be Opposed”). Homosexuals

Is homosexuality a form or cause of disability? This is the central issue posed by Spitzer in his now widely accepted definition of mental disorder. Spitzer (1984) argues that it is not. If we assume that homosexuality is an impairment simply because it is not heterosexuality, then we have created a privileged position for heterosexuality; we are making a value judgment, not a factual judgment. Homosexual activists would argue that heterosexuality is not a defining criterion of sexual function; homosexuals are able to, and regularly do, engage in relationships that are as equally loving and sexually satisfying as heterosexuals. Spitzer further acknowledges that although homosexuals are decidedly disadvantaged in contemporary culture, this is due largely to the reactions that society offers to homosexuality. The point, then, is that the disability associated with homosexuality is the fault of society and not an issue created by the individual homosexual. A useful comparison, perhaps, is handedness; although left-handedness has been associated with earlier mortality (Aggleton, Kentridge, and Neave, 1993) and increased risk of mental disorders (Johnston, Nicholls, Shah, and Shields, 2009), one would be hard-pressed to find someone willing to argue that left-handed people are mentally ill. Left-handedness represents a deviation from the norm that is both non-distressing and non-disabling, much like homosexuality, but is not considered a form of stigmatized deviance.

Sex is one of the most natural activities we as humans do. Yes, physically sex can be very pleasurable but, it can be a way for two people to come together to connect intimately in a way that talking cannot do. Sex between a heterosexual couple is completely natural but homosexual sex is not? What sets the standards for what is natural and what is unnatural? Standards based on the opinions of people mean many of the things we do are unnatural. In America, seeking medical assistance is the natural thing to do when sick while in other places across the world, holistic medicine is what is normally done when sick. Therefore, what is deemed natural and unnatural based on cultural and individual norms is not a valid argument against homosexuality. Diverting from the societal norms does not make something unnatural just different. There are many things that do people do that are not considered normal. Would we consider riding a unicycle wrong because not that many people do it? The answer is no. Morality is not based on what’s considered usual but what’s best for everyone. In this paper I will be defending Corvino’s defense of homosexuality. Homosexuality is at the very least natural. When people are born and grow up being attracted to someone of the opposite sex it is considered normal, so why do people believe homosexuality is unnatural? Isn’t it just the same thing in reverse?

Same Sex Marriage has become legal as of June 26, 2015 because the United States Supreme Court deemed it unconstitutional to not allow same sex couples to be married. Same sex marriage was illegal in 13 States before the Supreme Court ruled in favor of it. Each Sate had been debating over this case sense September of 1996, going back and forth on legalizing it. Each State had laws on marriage. Some States deemed it unconstitutional to ban same sex marriage such as Hawaii, Vermont, and Massachusetts. Others such as Texas, Tennessee, and Utah saw marriage as between one man and one woman. Sense each State had their own laws on marriage each State could hold marriage in a way the seemed fit.

On June 26th, 2015, the Supreme Court established, in Obergefell v. Hodges, that no law in the United States could bar a same-sex couple from getting married. The court decided that the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitutions Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses guaranteed marriage as a right for same-sex couples. The First Amendment protects the freedom of religion in the United States and has been used widely to protect the actions and beliefs of religious individuals in discriminating against LGBTQIA+ individuals. In the United States, there are a plethora of religions some of whom reject same-sex marriage as part of their sincerely held religious beliefs. One such group is the Southern Baptist Convention, who after Obergefell v. Hodges, reaffirmed their beliefs that same-sex marriage violates their religious principles. In August of 2015, the Windsor family, owners of a cake shop and members of the Southern Baptist Convention church, denied a same-sex couple a wedding cake due to their personal religious beliefs. The couple brought a suit against the cake shop claiming that they were being discriminated against because of their sexual orientation which could violate the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. In this essay, I will argue that the Windsors are not justified under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act or the First Amendment in discriminating against the same-sex couple and that there is no form of democratic deliberation

First, people say that same sex marriage is not a real marriage that it lacks procreation. From my point of view, procreation is not a categorical imperative of marriage.

It is difficult to say whether we still live in a heteronormative world as there are valid arguments for both sides. From what I have observed, most people still believe that heterosexuality is the norm, but I also believe that many people no longer view homosexuality as something negative. While homosexuality is not the standard sexuality, it is becoming more accepted due to that fact that it is now more common for gay people, bisexuals, and transgenders to inform others of their sexual orientation and communicate their stories and experiences.

hould LBGT couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples? Since the constitutions failed to address the adoption right of LGBT, judicial decisions often determine whether they can serve as parents either individually or as a couple. Policy has not kept up with the changing of society and todays families. LBGT should have the same adoption rights as other couples because everyone deserves equal rights, although some believe a child needs a mom and a dad. Times have changed. With legalizing same sex marriage why deprive couples of a family.

Though current day California is home state to an extensive multi-racial population, the government did not uphold the state’s egalitarian values until a mere fifty years ago. When the pool of the California ethnic population began to broaden in the 20th century, many newcomers were denied the right to equal opportunities. Minorities suffered under the heavy hand of segregation, lacking basic constitutional rights and adequate political representation.

Regardless of the many experiments tested, there will still be an underlying mystery that correlates with the scientific explanation of this topic. We will never truly know why a person will become gay but we do know some situations that could alter a person’s sexuality.
