The Pros And Cons Of Same Sex Marriage

1359 Words6 Pages

Same sex marriage is an issue that aggravates Australian Politics. Although a majority of Australian citizens support same sex marriage our political members still remain unmoved. This could be in fear of an uproar of the churches, which as left the political members in a spot of trouble when it comes to this issue I often think that the fuss of this issue would be terminated if we told everyone that same sex marriage isn’t compulsory, if you don’t want to get married to your partner you don’t have to. (The Australian, 2015) The Catholic church however believe that for two people of the same sex should not marry as written in the bible “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.” Leviticus 20:13 The legalisation of same-sex marriage has brought state and church into a direct conflict. Labour activist say that the changes to the marriage act will not impose and obligation on a minister of religion to solemnise any marriage. Once the meaning of marriage is changed by the state will there pressures that religion will face to perform the same sex marriages against there will? This could possibly lead to the catholic society facing threats from other people about denying gay marriage ceremonies in the name of religious faith (P.Kelly 2015).

I am personally for same sex marriage due to my beliefs, I believe everyone deserves parity and deserves to

    Equality and same-sex marriage is similar to that of The Crucible. The thought of a same-sex marriage happening within the holy walls of God, is a sin, in the eyes of the church. Many churches have banned the ceremony of gay/lesbian marriages. The churches that disallow same-sex marriages are Baptists, Methodist, Catholic and Presbyterian churches. This selective behaviour from those particular churches, have caused hysteria from supporters of equality, especially the LGBTQ+ community.

    Hi Mahealani, Its good to learn, that the Presbyterian Church USA, approved same sex marriage. Its interesting that the Supreme Court ruling legalized same sex marriage in the United States, but questions are being raised how the decision will affect religious groups. Especially, those that remains opposed to allowing gay and lesbian couples to wed. Basically the court’s decision states that clergy and religious organizations are not obligated to perform same sex marriages. I hope in the future that more religions become more accepting for to all people that want to be married. Thanks for sharing a great post.

    The future of same-sex marriage has long been a question in the United States; on June 26, 2015, under the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Obergefell v. Hodges, the country finally got an answer. In a five to four decision, the Supreme court determined that under the Fourteenth Amendment, marriage between same- sex couples is legal in all fifty states. Under this decision, states that had previously banned same-sex marriage will have to recognize and permit same-sex marriage within their boundaries. The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges is a landmark decision that will not affect same-sex couples throughout the nation, but also every aspect of our society. Having been hired by a sociologist who wants to study the effect of

    Same-sex marriage has a near even split of people that are for or against it. This split is seen clearly in the Obergefell v. Hodges case in the U.S. Supreme Court, where the decision was 5 to 4. The majority in this case chose to legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 states. This decision brought a lot of controversy from the U.S. citizens, and the controversy came from the question if the Supreme Court decision in Obergefell was the correct decision for America. The answer is no.

    Yes, most religions are against same-sex marriage but that religion does not speak for everybody. Most people are against same sex marriage because of religion. Research is showing that most people do not even believe in religion at all anymore. I agree with Sotomayor when she says how does withholding marriage from LGBTQ community increase value to another. While I definitely understand why people were upset I believe it was step forward in the equal rights when it come to the LGBTQ community.

  • Andrew Sullivan's For Gay Marriage

    333 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the article “For Gay Marriage,” author Andrew Sullivan claims that denying the act over the controversial issue of legalizing marriage to homosexuals is the most offensive act pertaining to their communal tolerance. The main plea amplifies that the religious customs, state affairs, and the accustomed marriage is noted as acceptable in today’s society. Sullivan states that he is not getting into what churches do in their open biblical session, but what he believes the state should be more involved and take action to fix the social acceptance among homosexuals. By putting together that homosexuals should have the same basic rights as heterosexuals including marriage sparks the author to suggest that homosexuals are just as financially independent

  • Peter Sprigg What's Wrong With Letting Same Sex Couples Marry Analysis

    401 Words  | 2 Pages

    Senior fellow for policy studies, Peter Sprigg in a Question and Answer article titled “What’s Wrong With Letting Same-Sex Couples Marry?” addresses this matter of controversy by stating-in his opinion- the ‘vast negative consequences’ concerning gay marriage equality. In order to answer these questions, Sprigg uses a cataloging of biased satire, as opposed to factual information in backing up his opinions. Thus, considering his audience consists of those who are for gay rights or, at the least, do not understand such a negative connotation regarding what could be an incredibly life-changing milestone for many, I am very much against his close-minded responses. Furthermore, although it is technically lnews learning that Peter Sprigg in particular thinks allowing gay couples to marry is wrong I can’t say that I’m definitively taken aback when I discover that yet another individual carries this mindset that, “Homosexual relationships are not marriage”(Sprigg P.2), though disappointing nonetheless.

  • Comparison Of Marriage And Andrew Sullivan's Against Gay Marriage

    963 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Andrew Sullivan’s “For Gay Marriage” and William J. Bennett’s “Against Gay Marriage”, the two authors speak about the topic of marriage and what validates one. Sullivan is a former editor of the New Republic Magazine and is well versed in the topic of gay marriage. Bennett was a chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities and has multiple writings over cultural issues. While both Sullivan and Bennett write about marriage and what constitutes a valid marriage, Sullivan appears to favor the idea that any two people can be married, while Bennett says that gay marriage will ruin the institution of marriage. Both authors discuss the concept of marriage and who should be allowed to enter into a marriage.

    I do not believe that same sex marriage would “under-mine” public morality. I believe that people in toda'ys society that are truly shaken up by same-sex marriage, is those of the older generation. In the book Doing Ethics “To violate people’s right to equal treatment and equal opportunity is to treat them merely as a means to regard them as less than persons with full moral rights.”(453) Most people 45 and younger can completely accept same-sex marriage. Rick Guy, a former councilman and Republican candidate states that “it is sad that people were unable to see the unique dignity of marriage between a man and a women is very discouraging.”

    Adoption is typically an option that is thought about when the process of conceiving a biological child is out of the question. For some couples it may be infertility, potential hereditary health problems, or that carrying a child would be dangerous to the mother and unborn child. Those are just some issues that would cause a heterosexual couple to contemplate the idea of adopting a child, but what about couples of the same-sex? Same-sex couples do not have the means to reproduce together so many opt for adoption, which sounds easy, but typically is not. Adoption is a long and hard drawn out process for any couple, but for couples that are of the same-sex, they typically get the shorter end of the stick.

    Many religions believe that same sex marriage is a sin. For others, it is a matter of the financial burden of providing benefits etc. to someone who does not fit the legal definition of “spouse”. In the same way that our religious freedom is guaranteed an individual’s right to choose their partner regardless of sex has been upheld by the Supreme Court. For example, there was a recent case against a clerk in Kentucky who refused to hand out a marriage license.
