Mr. King on the other hand, uses correction of erroneous views, emotional words, and allusions to get his point across. He first starts out correction of erroneous views by calling out those who criticize him, and explains that he is in Birmingham because of injustice. Next he uses emotion words when he is describing how he must tell his daughter out the outside world and how the fact of reality is that he will always be a “nigger” or “boy” despite his positions in life.

In the essay “What’s Wrong with Gay Marriage?” (2003), Katha Pollitt refutes all of the reasons why people think gay marriage is wrong. The author expounds on this argument by first showing that procreation is not a requirement for marriage because there are many straight married couples who don’t have children, the next argument that is refuted is that women domesticate men, but married men and un-married men still commit suicide and still do drugs so marriage won’t change that, and the final argument that was refuted was the argument made about historical marriages, but marriage has always been here and always will be and much of historical marriages polygyny was often as well as forced, arranged, and child marriage.

“Child-man in the promise land” Kay S. Hymowitz and “Unpopular Opinion: Marriage Will Never Be a Feminist Choice” by Meghan Murphy talk about many of the same things in different ways throughout both of the articles. In “child-man in the promise land” the main focus of the article is how men don't want to grow up and they want to live the fun life and drink and party with their friends.

If Brandon were to come to me for support, I would have supported him because the transgender community is now common in the world today. I know many people might not agree with my decision to support Brandon, but sexual change is an individual’s decision; therefore, he/she should not be criticized or hurt in the process.

The lesson in Slam teaches you to never give up and always work hard for what you want.

Some people think that acceptance already .“As far as the gay issue, I don’t give a damn one way or the other as long as they don’t bother me…… Laramie is live and lets live.” While this might work for the heterosexual community the homosexual community could not disagree more.
