Why Gay Marriage Should Be Banned in Georgia

Throughout the history of the United States, Georgia has changed drastically. Its political party, its citizens, its stance on race, and its involvement in a more digital world have all been changing since Georgia became occupied by the English. Georgia went from a Democratic to Republican state. Georgia also changed its population make-up from mostly poor, white farmers and African American slaves to business people, teachers, media workers, and factory workers. Georgia has changed from being a state that was for segregation and Jim Crow laws to a state with a large population of African Americans working alongside the whites that is against racism. Georgia has also formed into a state that is well known for its movie making business and

Many different places have many different views on the belief that gay marriage is either right or wrong. In America, at least 37 states and D.C allow same-sex marriage to take place (NCSL). Within these states, some were originally okay

Georgia and the southern United States of America has historically has always supported a Christian society. Many people in Georgia today, still believe in a Christian society to where people follow god’s word of the bible and will furthermore try to emulate as much of this lifestyle as possible. However, going by these belief systems and knowing that Georgia is predominantly a Christian state, gay marriage simply does not fit into our southern lifestyle here in Georgia. Georgians should not support gay marriage in this state because it violates the natural laws of the universe, it violates the word of god and his teachings in the bible, and it robs the children the opportunity to actually have a normal family life.

The debate on whether the constitution should be changed to allow gays/lesbians legal status, whereby the partners are protected while in the institution of marriage is a heated debated which has been ongoing in many years. There are those states whereby the rights of gays/lesbians to have legal marriages have been recognized, but in most of the states their right to legal marriage have not been recognized. This essay looks at the reasons why the American constitution should be amended to ensure that all states across the United States recognizes the rights of gays/lesbians to have legal marriages. The argument will focus on the impact that lack of legal marriages have on the gay and lesbian partners and the reasons why constitutional amendment can only be the best solution to resolve the issues of the rights for the gay community to a legal marriage.

Gay marriage has been an issue for a very long time and since some states are legalizing it, many worry that it would soon be added as an amendment. The topic of gay marriage brings up religious, legal, and many other issues. In "What's wrong with Gay Marriage?" by Katha Pollitt, the author supports gay marriage and wants it legalized. She states that there is no problem with gay marriage and it's all a matter of separating the church and state. But in “Gay ‘Marriage’: Societal Suicide,” by Charles Colson, the author opposes the idea of gay marriage and states that it will destroy society. Marriage is intended to unite a man and a woman together to bring children into the world, but due to the same-sex marriage,

With the new verdict that has come into play, it will empower each state to define their own stance on the legalization of gay marriage, They, and their residents, may decide whether they are completely against same sex marriage and thusly ban them all together, completely in favor of same-sex marriages and grant them will full privileges, or lastly, allow for the moderate compromise which are civil unions and registries with similar though not equal rights.

In as much freedom for expression and belief I essential for every citizen within a state, it is critical to ensure that the general conduct of the citizens is right and also very ethical. Homosexual behavior is not proper, and it affects the morals and conducts of a nation. It destroys the rapport of the society. This is a destruction of the law of nature that is even against the religious beliefs and the general culture of any nation (Hermann, 2016). It is essential to give the citizens the right that they deserve. However, it is important to ensure that freedom never exploited to the extent that it corrupts morals and good conduct. I support the Texas ruling that demands it unlawful for two people of the same sex to engage in the intimate sexual conduct. It is right to say that individuals make offense when engaging in sexual intercourse with an individual of the same sex. The prohibition of gay and lesbianism is not a denial of liberty for the citizens (Goldberg

P. 103. Our Government let states decide decisions on if they want to Legal gays to get married and honor their request. Marriage would be a real concern for the Gay community, because they feel that their civil rights need to be address, and this would let States decide in their community where gays can marry or not, and this would be in the hands Of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court decided that Gays have the right to marry.

Over 70% of the country agrees that gay couples should not be allowed to wed. Many have religious beliefs that God made men and women to marry and procreate. Some feel uncomfortable with the idea of two men being attracted to each other as well as two women being attracted to each other. Society has formed the idea that marriage is to be between a man and a woman so seeing anything different seems unnatural to some. However, many of these people are closed minded to the idea of gay marriage because it is different from their own personal lifestyle.

Gay Rights--civil and social rights given to homosexuals in comparison to heterosexuals--is a topic that has been roaring, especially in the conservative state of Mississippi. Because this is such a controversial issue, citizens have a different viewpoints that are deemed “the right way.” Citizens’ viewpoints have grown stronger with the recent passing of Governor Phil Bryant’s initiative “1523.” The legislative measure claims, it is a person’s religious freedom to hire or sell to gay citizens. It is ironic that the measure upholds one person’s freedom but denies another. Since the constitution, America has claimed to be built upon the blessing of liberty for all. However, minorities groups: women, African Americans, immigrants have had to fight to be a part of this liberty. Mississippi’s bill, 1523, dishonors what the constitution upholds. No

In the past few years all 50 states have legalized same sex marriage. The problem is same sex marriage is still not widely accepted in this American society. When people are getting arrested because they refuse to do their job and give out gay marriage licences that means there is a problem with the way that same sex couples are being treated. Gay marriage is a major hot button issue in America right now. To allow marriage or to not allow marriage has evoked a large argument that has caused many riots and problems. Gay marriage is the right for two people of the same gender to marry. But what most people do not think about is the benefits of marriage to this community of people. Society should work harder on accepting same sex marriage because it is not just about being happy (but that is a benefit), but it is a matter of decisions over life or death, money, and the life of children.

The last argument for the marriage section is the loss of the gay culture as they will try to cope with the culture of a traditional family. This argument brings up a good point in the way of would the gay culture vanish if we just accepted same sex families to be as any other family, but then we should also ask that would it be a bad thing if the gay culture was lost. But, this was again countered by the LGBT community stating that, “The gay pride culture is what unites us together and that no matter what we will always be gay and the LGBT community will strive for the equality on all people both gay and straight” (ProCon).

Marriage provides both physical and psychological health benefits and banning gay marriage increases rates of psychological disorders. The American Journal of Public Health found that after their states had banned gay marriage they had a 37% increase in mood disorders, a 42% increase in alcohol- use disorders, and a 48% increase in generalized anxiety disorders. Banning gay marriage is against the constitution. It’s protected by Constitutions commitments to liberty and equality. The US supreme court ruled in 1974s Cleveland Board of

In this country there is a flawed assumption that gay people enjoy the same civil right protections as everyone else and there are a lot of stereotypes about gay relationships. Living as a gay individual in this country can be extremely overwhelming and scary. When it comes to marriage between gay couples, controversy is bound to turn up. There are numerous arguments as to why gay marriage is not “right” such as; it offends everything religion stands for, marriage is for procreation, and gay

Gay marriages should not be legal in any state. Same sex marriages should not exist. The whole purpose of sex is to reproduce and same sex relations can not reproduce in any way.
