Same Sex Marriage Should Be Legal

A gay couple from Indianapolis who have waited to marry for years have been quoted as saying: “We 're positive because the mindset in this nation seems to be that it is unconstitutional to say that our marriages are different from any other marriage.” (pro-con,1) This means that gay people are staying optimistic. Prohibiting gay marriage is considered discrimination to gays because the government is not giving homosexual couples the same rights as gay heterosexuals, which is also unconstitutional. Therefore, same-sex couples should have access to the same marriage benefits and public acknowledgment enjoyed by heterosexual couples. (pro-con,1)

In stage 1 farming was developed and there was high death and high birth rates due to epidemics diseases. In Stage 2 factories were developed and there are high birth and low death rates due public health development to cure disease for the infectious. Stage 3 is where the factories are industrialized and there is low birth and low death rates due to chronic disease. During the 1900’s majority of the younger children died from infectious disease rapidly, because lack of access to medication and vaccine. Children died in the comfort of their home surrounding with family members. Family members are able to witness death for the first time and the bodies are preserved at home. Death is shown in public to everyone. Families can make a ceremony for their loved one to say their last goodbye to each other. Now in the late 1900’s majority of older people died from chronic disease at a slower rate, because there is high advancement in the healthcare and medication systems. However, older people frequently died in the hospital surrounding with medical machines to increase life. Death is less visible to the public including family members and the bodies are preserved through embalming at the funeral home. Family members won’t get the opportunity to say their last goodbye before their loved one passed away in the hospital. Hospital sets a time period when a family member can visit their loved one which creates a disadvantages. When a person dies in the hospital the nurse notifies the

Same-sex marriages have a same gender identity or biological as gay and lesbian couples. Not a long time ago, people did not understand about gays, homosexualities, and these married situations. Therefore, they have many false ideas about gays and think homosexuality is against God and nature. After many years, gay people fought for same-sex rights and had many improvements in understanding these relations. Besides, more people had open minds to homosexuality and accepted gay marriages. According to “Supreme Court Strike down Bans on Same-Sex marriage,” Richard Wolf and Brad Heath (usatoday.com, June 26,2015) wrote that The US Supreme Court allowed same-sex marriages legally in fifty states. In other words, gays and lesbians have freedom rights to love and marry like any normal person. Millions of Americans were very happy because gay couples became legally during their waiting and struggling a long time, and this was also a historic milestone. Although some people still dispute against this problem, I believe that the law and we should have equal rights for the gay couples become legally because they have the human rights and have the right to pursue their happiness, adopt children, and people should not discriminate against them.

This paper discusses homosexuality in our society, particularly in granting homosexual couples a right to marry. The pros and the cons throw out a ton of arguments supporting their position. This issue, whether or not the same-sex marriage should be allowed, is extremely controversial and the debates never end. In this paper, I take the pro side by providing strong both qualitative and quantitative data, how the homosexual marriage can benefit society, how far they have fought for their rights, etc.

“We’re here, we’re queer, get over it.” In 1990, these words, shouted and displayed proudly on signs waved by the activist group, Queer Nation, were revolutionary. Never, not since the Stonewall Riots, had non-straight, non-cis people been so vocal about their existence and demanded acceptance – something that straight people take for granted on a daily basis. However, in the years since the Riots, LGBT activism has become much more mainstream, no longer whispered about behind closet doors or something to be wholly ashamed of. Gay marriage is legal in all 50 United States, something that has been fought for since the conception of the LGBT movement. In fact, gay couples are routinely being featured on popular television and other forms of media. Some might say that in 2016, the dreams of the rioters in Stonewall have been realized. Marriage rights and the spotlight on nighttime television; equality seems to truly be right on the horizon.

Most people believe that they are entitled to the same rights granted by the government as others, regardless of their race, gender or sexual attitude, but not all citizens have obtained equal rights especially, gay and lesbians couples who have been refused the right to marry even if they are honourable citizens. Over the last few years, the legislation of same-sex marriage has faced many changes in some western countries while it has remained as a debatable subject in others.

Same sex marriage ought to be legalized on the grounds that it is uncivilized and unmerited. Marriage is a commitment between two people that cherish one another. In almost every country and culture, marriage is a commitment of loyalty and love. Marriage is an authority contract gathering two individuals together, furnishing them with profits of holy matrimony such as tax cuts and clinical privileges. The debate throughout most countries today is whether or not the rights of these profits and commitments should be legal to people of the same sex. My question is, Why not? Legalizing the same sex marriage is the right choice for most countries to make simply because it is socially, ethically, politically and economically the decision that will improve each country.

According to the late Nelson Mandela “To deny people their human rights is to challenge their humanity”. Should same-sex couples have “the right to marriage” ensures that all citizens are treated equally. For the purpose of this paper I will be focusing on the constitution, the religious defense, and the effects of same-sex marriage on society and applying moral theories to same-sex couple’s marriage stance. The issue of same sex-marriage has always been a sensitive debate with my family and close associates for several years. As a former citizen of a country that the government blatantly states to the citizens that same-sex marriage is illegal. I have taken the stance that same sex couples should be allowed to get

The focus of Homosexuality has been over all sorts of media, specifically starting in 2012. Finally, in 2015 same sex marriage was legalized in all fifty states. Many arguments have come around about if homosexuality is genetic or if its chosen. Many people think either way and there aren’t many people who are in between thinking that homosexuality is chosen or not. The song “Same Love” by Macklemore was released in 2015 when all of the media slowed down about homosexuality and after same sex marriage was legalized. So when Macklemore released this song more attention came to same sex marriage. This song makes a lot of points about how everyone should be okay with same sex marriage but there are bigger arguments present. Macklemore uses the lyrics in this song to talk about how homosexuality is genetic by pulling in personal experiences and how being gay is not the social normality.

I was taught that marriage was between a man and a woman; I held that belief for many years until I came to the United States of America. Many people believe that same sex marriage is wrong because of personal beliefs, religions or their sexual orientations. Others might ask why gay marriage should be legalized, but my question is: why should other people be able to choose who marries who? If a man and a woman get married, no one seems to care. They are two people who feel affection for one another and those two people want to start a family and have a happy life. If we change the scenario a little bit and a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, try to get married it causes uproar, they are not allowed to be married or raise a family

Marriage is a choice. Some choose to be marry at an early age, and others choose to marry at some point in their lives. Some already planned when and where they will marry, others believe it will happen when the time comes. Some might not even believe in marriage at all. The opposing point of view of marriage between the religious and the non-religious has been going on for quite a while. It hasn’t been that long since the legalization of same sex marriage has been passed in some state. Meanwhile other states still question whether same sex marriage should be legalize. At the beginning of time, we based our morality and religious belief on The Bible. In modern society, it is arguable that marriage should only stay between man and woman.

Same sex marriage is already legal in 37 states, but it it 's still banned in 13 states. A normal marriage has always been between a man and a woman marriage is for procreation and should not be extended to same- sex couples because they cannot produce children together. A human child should have a mother and a father. Gay marriage is the opposite to the word of god and is incompatible with the beliefs.” Marriage is a union between one man and one woman, designed of god to last so long so long they both shall live.” This shows the meaning of relationship between a man and a woman. Calling something marriage doesn’t make it marriage. The unfortunate situation of these children will be the norm for all children of a same sex “marriage” A

Imagine you have been with your better half for years and you have now decided that you want to marry that person and spend the rest of your life with them, but you can’t because you’re the same sex. For years this has been the struggle for many same sex couples. The same basic right to share your bond with your loved one for the rest of the world to see through paper and ring has been denied by law and church, until June of 2015. Some argue that they had the opportunity to combine in what is known as a civil union. But this type of marriage union only gives them legal protections as a couple but only on the state level. Which means no federal protections and move to another state and those same protections no longer imply to you. In this paper I want to show you the facts of why I feel same-sex marriage is the right thing to do. I believe that same sex marriage should be legal because couples should be able to show their commitment to each other regardless of gender, couples that are committed and have families should be legally allowed to claim each other, and religion should not be able to state who has the right to love whom.

Since the first same-sex marriage occurred in United States in 2004, the issue of gay people’s rights to get married emerged to the surface. Since then, multiple states have put forward their policies of gay marriage successively. Time has changed as the gay life style becomes more accepted by society--fourteen states have passed the law legalization of gay marriage, such as Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut. From 1988 when Baunach’s research (2012) showed a lot of “strongly disagree” attitudes towards same-sex marriage to 2009 when the ice cream producer Ben & Jerry’s temporarily changed the name of their best-selling Chubby Hubby ice cream flavor to Hubby Hubby in order to celebrate their home state Vermont’s decision to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples (Wettstein & Baur, 2015), these steps provide a huge impact towards the people of the United States and their attitude to accept changes, but it still remains unclear as to whether same-sex marriage legalization has a positive impact on the society. This paper will discuss popular opinions and research studies about the positive and negative sociological impacts on same sex couples.

Same sex couples have been waiting for same sex marriage to be legalized for many decades. According to Ken LaMance, “One of the first documented challenges to same-sex marriages occurred on May 18th, 1970, where two men applied for a marriage license in Heppenin County, Minnesota” (LaMance). Their request was denied because they felt marriage should be between a man and a woman. Civil Unions were the first step in legalizing same sex marriage. Civil Unions were introduced in 2000 in Vermont. Civil unions become more and more popular in the early 2000’s. Civil unions were put into place to provide some legal protection and responsibilities to same sex couples. While the civil union was supposed to provide some type of legalization for same sex couple, but had restrictions. Some of the restrictions were partners were not able to be on their partners health insurance and could not make medical decisions.
