18 May 2016 Many children struggle with the fact of not having a mother or father figure and gay marriage would definitely not helping no matter how loving or kind they are it just isn?t enough for the child?s need and wants. Why you should care because in a contest between the desires of homosexuals and the needs of our children we can?t allow our children to lose (Hansen). Gay Marriage is unholy, while homosexual acts go against the natural moral law. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementary under no circumstances can they be approved (Ratzinger). In Romans chapter one twenty six through twenty seven the bible says God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged

Also professional business could risk government sanctions because they don?t treat gays and straight couples the same because they believe it is wrong. The reason of marriage is to procreate and expand the population and with gay marriage you just can?t do that. Today I have tried to persuade you why I think gay marriage shouldn?t be allowed. Allowing it just wouldn?t set a good example for the next generation, why leave our kids with a mess we could fix for them.

Karina Dyal PHIL 340: Ethics and Law Legal Brief Assignment—Lawrence v. Texas 04/01/17 Case: Bowers v. Hardwick (1986) Facts: Oral and anal sex between two individuals from the same gender was deemed illegal—implemented through a Georgia statute. Hardwick who was an adult male, was charged in 1982 for violating the statute by engaging in sexual activities with another male in his home. The case was not pursued by the District Attorney, who also decided to not have the case presented before a grand jury. Hardwick went to the federal district court where he questioned the statute’s constitutionality. Issue: Does the U.S. Constitution give homosexual individuals the fundamental right to have sexual intercourse, and therefore renders the laws
David Von Drehle’s article about the recent controversy in an elected Kentucky Clerk 's office describes Kim Davis ' refusal to issue same sex marriage licenses and stresses that it is not her place to do so. In this article, David Von Drehle uses strong rhetoric to convince the reader that it is not Kim Davis’ place to refuse to issue marriage licenses. He starts out with the phrase “The heat around gay marriage is obscuring what a simple distinction this actually is. But suppose the Rowan County Clerk was a devout Hindu” (Von Drehle Time)
This case began when officers were responding to a weapons disturbance on a private residence. When the police entered petitioner Lawrence’s apartment, they witnessed him and another male, petitioner Garner, engaging in consensual sexual act. Both petitioners were arrested and convicted of deviate sexual intercourse, which was in violation of the Texas statute that forbade two people of the same sex to to engage in certain intimate sexual conduct. The State Court of Appeals held the sentence and said that the statute was not unconstitutional under the Due Process Clause of the fourteenth amendment. The court had considered a case, Bowers v. Hardwick, 478 U.S. 186, pushing the point across.
Huckabee stated, “This ruling is not about marriage equality, it’s about marriage redefinition. This irrational, unconstitutional rejection of the expressed will of the people in over 30 states will prove to be one of the court’s most disastrous decisions, and they have had many” (“Mike Huckabee”). Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee opposes same sex marriage and believes Americans must defend, protect and preserve traditional marriage (“Values”).
Women Empowerment: The Roe vs Wade case The revolutionary abortion case of Roe v. Wade had a dramatic impact on the United States. Not only in Texas, but in 46 other states as well. Roe vs Wade is a case about a woman, Norma McCorvey in Texas who wanted an abortion however in the state abortion is illegal so she challenged the system and went to trial.
When debating the legalization of same sex marriage, religious reasoning and accusations of bigotry often provoke obstinance. Instead of reiterating those arguments, William J. Bennett, a prominent cultural conservative, former secretary of education, and author of The Book of Virtues, focuses on societal effects in his op-ed article, “Against Gay Marriage.” Though Bennett’s piece conveys partiality, it also attempts to discuss this issue scrupulously to ensure readers will consider his argument and perhaps accept his implications. While some of Bennett’s word choices convey tolerance of the gay community, his rhetoric incites readers to accept that preserving society requires marginalizing homosexuals.
A brochure for “Reminder Day” expressed that homosexuals were often not treated as equals and that the Federal, state and local governments have shown bias towards these individuals. Although some religions would perceive homosexuality as a sin, the individuals are still human and should be given the same opportunities as the rest of the population. In the past, the Declaration of Independence promised natural rights for all men, but some rights were not realized for minority groups. Over time, parts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were revoked and amended so that in today’s world, all “men”, including women and minority groups, all have the same rights.
In spite of the fact that a privilege to marry is not listed in the Constitution, the Court said that such a privilege is covered under the Fourteenth Amendment in light of the fact that such choices are vital to our survival and our values. Accordingly, they should essentially reside with the individual instead of with the state. This choice is a conflict with the popular argument that something cannot be an actual constitutional right unless it is spelled out straightforwardly in the U.S. Constitution. It additionally stands out amongst the most imperative models on the general thought of common uniformity, clarifying that essential social equality is basic to our reality and cannot really be restricted on the grounds that a few people trust that their god can 't help
This can be reflected in the LGBT+Rights Movements, with activists wanting equality between straight cisgender people and LGBT+ people, and show how a person’s sexuality or gender identity does not reflect their personality. In a New York Times article on the 2015 Supreme Court decision granting marriage equality, Adam Liptak quoted Justice Kennedy, saying “without the recognition, stability and predictability marriage offers, their children suffer the stigma of knowing their families are somehow lesser. They also suffer the significant material costs of being raised by unmarried parents, relegated through no fault of their own to a more difficult and uncertain family life”. The marriage laws at issue here thus harm and humiliate the children of same-sex couples.” Although this quote is on the issue of marriage equality, it outlines the theme of the LGBT+ movements: they want equality, they want recognition, and they want safety.
In 2015, the Obergefell v. Hodges case ended the “state bans on same-sex marriage”, therefore legalizing same-sex marriage (Important Supreme Court Cases). Now, “same-sex couples can now receive the benefits...of marriage that were largely exclusive to heterosexual couples” (Koch). The ruling has led to the modern fight for gay civil rights. Exposure to the LGBTQ+ community, the southern “Bathroom Bills”, and other fights for transgender rights, and the press for more LGBTQ+ representation in the media has erupted from this case. Both rulings had very big impacts on their respective communities.
Also another reason why gay marriage is such a big problem is because of churches, church people don’t want to marry gay people; they believe that it is going against everything they’ve been raised to believe. Even though for church people to marry a gay couple would go against everything they’ve been raised to believe it still doesn’t give them the right to not marry a gay couple because one day gay marriage could be legalized. Gay marriage one day will be legalized and then the churches won’t be able to do a thing about it. Now a days religion is one of the biggest problems in the gay community, why? One contradiction within the religious faith is that most people look the other way when churches don’t allow gay couples to get married; they just ignore it.
Joey Cho Mrs. Middleton English 10 17 October 2016 Persuasive Research Essay Outline Introduction LGBT/ same-sex marriage is one of the most heated and controversial debates in our current society. Unlike the past thousands of years whereas marriage was defined as a legal union between a man and a woman, now the concept of marriage has been extended to a broader context. “Homosexuality” in most cultures is viewed as a disgrace, and it is often considered as a great sin from a religious aspect.
This type of marriage is seen as acceptable because they believe it is a better future for the children. On the other hand, gay marriage is seen as a sin and it is impossible to properly raise a child. The result would be that homosexuals will not marry because they are forbidden to do so. Government just cares about their increase in population rather than the happiness of its citizens. Another institution that regulates sexuality is education.
It is an online and print news magazine that considers its readers to be the most influential people in the country such as leaders that can influence others opinions. The information is secondary in nature and is written as an opinion piece to sway the reader into believing that it is time to legalize polygamist marriage. It does provide an in-depth history of gay marriage and how the same arguments that were used to deny gay marriage are used to deny polygamist marriage. He quoted the Supreme Court on two separate occasions but failed to provide evidentiary support regarding his comparative views of the status of traditional marriages versus polygamist relationships. The article does not cite any references or provide a bibliography.
Religious institutions can say no to marrying same-sex couples, but they should not decide the laws for society at large. America is not a religious nation, no matter how many of her citizens consider themselves to be. With both the Constitution and the Treaty of Tripoli, the founding fathers of the United States guaranteed an independent government and religious freedom for anyone who may enter the country. This proves wrong, the argument that gay marriage is going against the word of God, and is also going against the beliefs, texts, and traditions of many religions, believed by a great number of religious anti-gay marriage
