There have been many issues in America and around the world. One issue that has always been brought up with just about anyone is if Gay Marriage should be legal. On many websites there has been votes of what people think about legalization of same sex marriage. The information I found of what people thought about same sex marriage was on www.isidewith.com. There have been many thoughts and this is just mine.
I personally have been raised in the catholic church and currently still attending it in my adulthood. The one thing that was really big when I was a child was not to sin. The church has changed a lot over the years, but in a good way. A lot of people have this big image that the catholic church doesn’t accept one if they don’t follow exactly what the bible says. The church use to have a bad image upon them. Now

Supreme Court ruled that the denial of marriage licenses violated the Due Process and the Equal Protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The ruling made same sex marriage legal in all 50” (Gay Marriage Poll Results). On this day many people were upset and started to protest, about really they were just wasting their time in my opinion. I understand it was what they believed in but they also have to understand that it doesn’t says in the bible that it is right to give people shame and call them names just because we don 't like their decisions in life.
This issue is very hard for me to explain how I feel about it. I truly believe in God and do participate in the catholic church but does it make me less of a catholic person if I agree with same sex marriage? I think of this as someone being a doctor and knowing how evolution started the world yet believing on God. Why don 't people protest on that being bad like how they do with gay marriage. How about doctor 's that proceed abortion as their job yet go to church. Why aren 't these subject more announce and out there like gay
As an American citizen, a person should be entitled to marry whoever they choose, regardless of gender or sexual preference. Gay marriage is something that some people consider to be taboo while other people are very supportive of it; I am one of the latter. The ability to marry someone is a basic human right and it should not be taken away from someone because they love a person of the same gender. One of the main reasons that gay marriage is illegal in the United States is because of what the Bible says about it, regardless of the fact that the first Amendment of the US Constitution says that there is to be a separation between church and state. Approximately three point eight percent of the United States population is made up of people
Originally colonizing for religious reasons in the 17th century, the United States of America has evolved since then into a nation that separates government and personal beliefs. Although the U.S claims that their church and state is separated, the issue of gay marriage is still a relevant issue today. Thoughts on same-sex marriage are primarily based off of religious beliefs, yet the U.S. government still believes it should control whether gays should be married or not. The U.S. should make gay marriage legal, because it is unconstitutional not to do so.
Love always plays an indispensable role in our life while lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders are found in all age groups, all social classes, and all nations. Thus, it is obvious that homosexual marriage is one of the most biggest concerns. However, in contemporary life, some people are far more open-minded and support to this issue. Particularly, there are twenty-one countries which legalize same-sex marriage. This kind of marriage should be respected and accepted like heterosexual marriage. In spite of objections, this essay will highlight the main reasons that homosexuals should have equal right to marry.
Gay Marriage has been debated in many countries for a long time. It interferes with citizens civil rights so is therefore a major issue. Many gay couples today have come out and expressed their sexuality. Although many people are against legalization of gay marriage, I believe it should be legalized for the reason that it encourages strong family values, leads to the increasing number of child adoption, and is a citizen civil rights.
The 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.
A group of Evangelical directors, pastors, and ministers responded to the SCOTUS ruling for equality, saying that “[w]hile we believe that the Supreme Court’s decision is a major step in the right direction, we are also reminded that this victory is only one step towards true equality for LGBTQ individuals and highlights our need, as people of faith, to continue to work for justice.”(Robertson) Even someone like George Clooney stated that, “[a]t some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won 't be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black.” These are just some of the people who support gay marriage rights, it was shown that 55% of Americans support same sex marriage, while only 39% of Americans are against it (Pew Research Center). So with all these people for LGBTQ equality, it should just become a social norm right? But people are refusing to separate church and
Gay marriage is a right. Heterosexual couples are allowed to enjoy all the marriage benefits, so why shouldn’t same-sex couples be able to? Why should other people be able to choose who marries who? If a man and a woman get married, no one seems to care. Gay marriage should be legal because it’s an issue of equal rights, it would save society money, and it will increase the chances for foster children to be adopted into loving families.
... gay marriage should not be as controversial of a topic then it is. Even though there are religious thoughts about gay marriage and homosexuality, people are getting that information from books that were written millions of years ago and they are not even sure of who wrote them. Even though people are ultimately afraid of the unknown and change, both, which are included in legalizing gay marriage. I believe that people should brush up on their knowledge of homosexuality, gay marriage, and what gay marriage would do to our society before they make create an opinion about the matter; which could ultimately affect the opinion of people around them. I also believe that love is love no matter what way you think of it, we are all humans who just want the same rights for everyone. Imagine if you were in a gay persons shoes, would you think the same way about gay marriage?
How do you feel about gay marriage? Do you think it is right or wrong? Do you agree or disagree with it? Gay marriage is still a controversial topic in today’s society. Some think same sex marriage is right; however, others disagree. People in America have been fighting over same sex marriage for many years. However, same sex marriage is wrong in several ways. One way it is wrong is because there is now a law stating that same sex marriage is legal. Not only is gay marriage wrong, it is not appealing to the eye. Watching gay couples walk around is not a good sight to see. Although society thinks same sex marriage is fair, it is actually immoral and completely wrong.
Not allowing same-sex couples a license to marry was hindering them from receiving valuable benefits that they could enjoy. Now that they have received fair treatment they can obtain “[the] 1,138 benefits, rights and protections available to married couples in federal law alone” (“Gay Marriage - ProCon.org”). Same-sex couples should get, and now receive, the opportunities to marry and have the 1,138 benefits that come with it. Their relationships should just be accepted more now that it’s completely legal. I understand that it may not be how people were raised to think, but adapting to change and being open-minded is a key aspect throughout life. Looking more into the topic, “[an] Oct. 2, 2009 analysis by the New York Times estimated that same-sex couples denied marriage benefits [would] incur an additional $41,196 to $467,562 in expenses over their lifetimes compared with married heterosexual couples” (Bernard). Unmarried couples would have to pay a substantial amount of money just because they couldn’t wed. Many people wanted to deprive them of marrying and didn’t consider how it could damage them financially. If the opposers were in this situation they’d declare it unconstitutional and demand equal rights. That’s exactly how the gay couples felt but were continuously denied them until recently. It’s unfair to allow these rights to straight couples and not gay couples when it affects things like their health coverage, financial stability, and child custody. Sensible people wouldn’t want others to have to struggle in such a way that could impact someone’s life and the others around
Gay rights have always been a controversial topic. Some say that gays go against what the bible says, while others say just let them be happy. If being gay makes them happy then they should be allowed to be gay, being gay is in their pursuit to happiness which is one of their inalienable rights that no one can impede upon. Gay Rights have always been a struggle but soon will be triumphant and be a part of the past just as the civil rights movement.
Why should humans be criticized on who they marry? Same-sex marriage couples need to be able to get legally married. "Marriage is social and cultural; the meaning varies in important ways including historical and cultural boundaries" (Pope). Marriage should not just be legal for just the opposite sex couples, let people love and commit their lives to whoever they may be with. 17 states in the U.S. today have allowed gay marriage, and have made it legal to get married within a same-sex relationship. This has come very far since 1988 when gay marriage was brought upon: 17 states out of 50 states, that’s a high increase. “From 1988 to 2012, public support for gay marriage increased at a rate of 1 to1.5 points per year” (Pope). It is pleasant that the opinion and support for gay marriage has increased, everyone is created equal, and everyone should get the same rights. Many states, local governments, and private companies have laws or formal policies...
Above-mentioned, same-sex marriage is permitted in many states, even some churches or religious orders endorsed same-sex-marriage in the name of human or gender equality. The more serious implication is about Evangelism, because same- sex-marriage is standing against the Lord and is implicating next generation in confusion. The churches no longer work and the Christians no more proclaim Evangelism in the name of Jesus Christ.
Gay and lesbian unions have been for a long time a subject that no one liked to discuss. For the last few decades, gays and lesbians have come out and expressed their sexuality preferences. Many believe that same sex marriage should not be legalized because it's against the moral. It's against the definition of marriage, which is considered as the union of a man and a woman as a husband and wife. Same sex marriage should be legalized because the way society views the union of lesbian and gays can a change. Another reason why same sex marriage should be legalized is that children that are issued from a gay or lesbian couple will be loved and raised in a family that is legally recognized under the law. Lesbians and gays also deserve to have the same rights as heterosexuals.
On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court came to the conclusion that marriage is a right protected by the U.S. constitution in all 50 states. Prior to their decision, same sex marriage was legal in 37 states, including Washington D.C. Same sex marriage goes against what the bible says. I feel that homosexuality is unnatural and immoral. Gay marriage is incompatible with the beliefs of several Christian.
