#3. The political party that I am most affiliated with is the Democratic Party. Issues such as gay marriage, abortion, the economy, and the environment are certain topics that force me to lean democratic over republican. Firstly, the debate over whether homosexual men and women should be allowed to get married, and receive all the legal benefits that go along with the institution, is one of the foremost social issues in our country today. For the most part, Republicans in recent years have taken a conservative anti-marriage stance on this issue, while democrats have been keener on supporting marriage equality. While I know this issue is surrounded by religious and political debate, I personally don’t see anything wrong with allowing two people who are in love to receive equal benefits like their straight counterparts. As someone who firmly believes a person is born gay or straight, to deny a fellow human being something as fundamental as the right to marriage seems cruel to me. Another example is the issue of abortion. Along with gay marriage, this issue is also extremely prominent in today’s political discussions. I view abortion as an extremely personal decision between a woman and her own body, one that should not be interfered with by politicians or governments. What gives anyone the right to think they should be able to restrict or prevent a woman from making decisions about her own body. As someone who is not religious, any argument stemming from biblical texts or beliefs holds no merit for me in the court of law. The democrats are overwhelmingly pro-abortion, a stance that I myself follow. In addition, the economy is also an issue that I side with the democrats over. Now I will not pretend to understand how all of the... ... middle of paper ... ...s to enforce the minimum drinking age at 21, or risk losing 10% of federal highway construction funds. This is just one example of the influence that MADD has in congress. One of MADD’s tactics when lobbying to congress and the public is to use “scientific” data to promote its policies. In a three-page report in 1998, MADD board member Ralph Hingson claimed that by lowering the nationwide drinking and driving limit from .1% to .08% blood alcohol concentration, there would be 500 less drinking and driving related deaths every year. The issue though is that even after this research had been discredited by the US government and highway traffic safety experts, MADD still used Hingson’s claims as a basis to promote their legislation to the public and congress. In fact, this tactic was successful in many states that ended up lowering their blood alcohol content limit.

- Persuasive Essay: Legalizing Gay Marriageopinion essayLegalizing gay marriage has been a controversial topic in the past few years. In my opinion, gay people should be allowed to get married because it is a civil right. It shouldn 't matter what gender they prefer because they 're still regular people. Making gay marriage illegal, is the same as taking away someone 's freedom and civil rights. That is unethical and completely awful. There 's no harm being done by letting two people who are in love with each other get married. However, many religious fundamentalists are against this and believe gay marriage is wrong and needs to be stopped. Homosexual couples should have the right to get married because it 's a civil right and their sexual preference doesn 't make them any less human.

1384 wordsRead More - Argumentative Essay On Gay Marriageopinion essayThere are several reasons why homosexuals feel strongly about wanting to be legally married, why wouldn't there be? One reason that is probably the most commonly heard is, they want to legally show their love for each other by having a marriage license. Gay people want the right to marry like anybody else, and for the same reasons too. They are in love and want to be with this person for the rest of their lives. Even though it is possible to do this without being married, they want to be able to honor their relationship with their partner publicly. There should be absolutely no reason for two people not to be able to marry despite their sexuality. If a man and woman get to get married because they love each other, why can't a man and a man marry each other? What about a woman and a woman? They love each other too, isn't that a valid reason to get married? Isn't it also a valid reason to let them?

1655 wordsRead More - Gay Marriageanalytical essayA large majority of people in the United States will say that they are in favor of equal rights for homosexuals. They will all agree that homosexuals should have the same rights in housing, jobs, public accommodations, and should have equal access to government benefits, equal protection of the law, and other rights granted to US citizens. However, when the topic of marriage arises, all the talk of equality ceases. Over fifty percent of all people in the United States oppose homosexual marriage, despite the fact that most are otherwise supportive of homosexual rights. This means that many of the same people who are even passionately in favor of homosexual rights oppose homosexuals on this one issue. This is because there is a lot of misunderstanding about what homosexuality really is, as well as the erroneous assumption that homosexual people enjoy the same civil rights protections as everyone else. For the reasons of ending social injustice, the economic and social benefits of allowing homosexuals to marry, and the constitution, homosexual marriages should be a legalized institution.

Despite the latter definition’s addition to dictionaries in the past decade, this definition of marriage is still debated. Being a touchy subject in both politics and religion today, it’s been very hard to come to an agreement. There are two main sides to this argument regarding the nature of marriage. Some stick to their conservative and/or religious beliefs, while others state that marriage is a civil right (Kim, 2011, p. [Page 38]). However, same-sex marriage is not legally recognized in North Carolina and thirty-two other states at this time ("Defining Marriage: State Defense," 2014). Homosexuals have been denied many of the rights given to those that are heterosexual. Same-sex couples are not able to receive other benefits as a heterosexual couple would. The lack of benefits is extremely unequal and unfair. This unacceptable treatment is unconstitutional and should not continue.

It is necessary that the government recognize the civil unions of same sex couples because all citizens of the United States should be afforded equal rights regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation. It is because of this legal discrimination that homosexuals are denied such rights as hospital visitation, socials security and disability insurances. Discrimination is wrong. The first step in correcting social injustice must be taken soon. The issue of legal marriage between two people of the same- sex must be settled now to stop the discrimination that is openly occurring across America.

Questions like where and when it should be done, and what would happen if divorce or death were to occur are some of the basic need-to-know things during marriage. For same-sex couples however, they do not have this option. In fact, they barely have any option at all. Same-sex couples have been discriminated against and mistreated for as long as anyone can remember. Even with all the stress and trouble marriage brings, heterosexual married couples still reap from the federal benefits of being married as man and woman. When a homosexual couple gets married, in which the state first would have to permit such action, they do not legally become ‘married’, but instead placed into a ‘civil union’ with no such thing as benefits or the like. This is controversial because the only thing different between them and their heterosexual counterparts is their sexual orientation. They are still legally an American citizen. Even though it may go against traditional beliefs of what Holy Matrimony means, civil union partnerships should be considered a legal form of marriage because it gives same-sex couples equal opportunities and benefits that every American citizen deserves.

1643 wordsRead More - Gay Marriage Should Be Legal in All Statesanalytical essayThe issue of gay marriage needs little introduction as it is one of the most widely contended and discussed topics in the United States of America. While the issue is relatively recent one has to question why this is even an issue to begin with. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage. Arguments come from both religious groups, as well as secular focused sources. Reasoning against gay marriage ranges from religious immorality, to the idea that giving gays the right to marry would support minoritarianism (giving minority special privileges and advantages in either a legislative or societal capacity). There are countless arguments besides those mentioned, few of which have any substantial grounds to stand on. Gay marriage causes no political or communal grief, except for those who strongly oppose it now. Even for those people gay people exist either way. Whether they are married or not will not change that and their lives will not be dramatically changed from it. Gay marriage has no valid reason to be outlawed and there are plenty of reasons to allow it.

It is true that much of Alexander the Great’s story was written long after his death, but that does not means “historians really do not know much about” him.

I argue marriage equality is in the best interest for family life. Allowing homosexuals to form stable committed relationships through marriage would allow for healthier homosexual relationships. You can’t prevent people from being homosexual however giving those people the right to marry can help them experience greater personal happiness. Studies have suggested that not only does legalizing marriage in an area generally make homosexual individuals in that area happier; it also makes them physically and mentally healthier and saves them money on health care (Hatzenbuehler, O’Cleirigh, Grasso, Mayer, Safren, & Bradford, 20012). I don’t see any compelling reason to take away the joy homosexuals get from marriage, this is one of the many reasons I support marriage equality.

Same-sex marriage has become more of a political issue when it really should be left up to one’s own personal and religious beliefs. Even though there are a few states that recognize legal same-sex marriage or domestic partnership, couples still have to face feeling inferior because of the little to no benefit they are given, while heterosexual marriages have an abundant of rights, privileges and benefits. If it is our constitutional right to get married to the person our choice then let it be. It should not matter what the next person feels because they have the right to feel the way they want to feel just as a person can fall in love and marry their significant other.
