...Najja Simpson 11/16/15 JU 102 Debate Analysis: Against Gay Marriage Same Sex Marriage also known as gay marriage or equal marriage is marriage between two persons of the same biological sex or gender identity. In the 20th and 21st centuries various types of same-sex unions have come to be legalized. Same-sex marriage is currently legal in these following countries: United States (2015), Greenland (2015), Ireland (2015), Luxembourg (2014), Scotland (2014), England and Wales (2013), Brazil (2013), France (2013), New Zealand (2013), Uruguay (2013), Denmark (2012), Argentina (2010), Portugal (2010), Iceland (2010), Sweden (2009), Norway (2009), South Africa (2006), Spain (2005), Canada (2005), Belgium (2003), The Netherlands (2000). Three reasons why the opposing side wants to legalize the same sex marriage: First is, they have said all have a sin nature, with weaknesses to sin in particular ways and some people express their sin nature one way, other people express theirs in other ways. Homosexuality is just one way in a fair and balanced way. Secondly, Marriage is a basic human right and an individual personal choice and the State should not interfere with same-gender couples who choose to marry. Thirdly, ending discrimination enhances the human spirit and makes all our lives better. To refute these three reasons why sex marriage should be legal I would say that the truth is even though all of us have a sinful nature it does not mean we will take advantage of the grace...

...The Right to Be Happy By Michelle Evans English 101, Section QC Nov 7, 2014 Although DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) has been overturned, there is however a lot more work to be done as far as equal rights for gay families all over the U.S. The Defense Marriage Act was originally passed in September 1996 and repealed in June 2013. This was wonderful news for the LGBT Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender) community; however they are faced with a few more hurdles. Conservatives are now trying to make it impossible for same-sex couples to be able to adopt, essentially ruining any chances of having a family of their own. Two steps forward, 3 steps back… For decades, the laws against marriage equality have been tight and not in favor for same-sex couples. Conservatives felt and still feel that marriage should only be between a man and a woman and that being gay was not only a sin and an abomination, but also a lifestyle choice. It is also believed that gay unions should not have the same benefits as heterosexual ones. In the case of United States vs Windsor where two women whose marriage was legalized in New York, one of the parties passed away and the IRS denied federal estate tax marital deduction for the surviving spouse. The U.S. Supreme court found that DOMA violated the guarantee for equal protection and due process under the U.S. Constitution (Polikoff).Currently thirty-two out of fifty states now legalized same-sex unions. Unfortunately to this day...

...Pananaw ng mga Heteroseksuwal na mag-aaral sa STI College Makati ukol sa legalisasyon ng Same sex marriage sa Pilipinas MIYEMBRO: Cyryn Rios Maria Delmar G. Llorca Kurt Vincent Z. Macasiab Jan Marini D. Lanuza Vanessa De Real Karl David Juico TAGAPAYO: Jerold Noble Dramayo I. Panimula Ang pag-iisang dibdib ng magkaparehong kasarian ay isa sa malaking at sensitibong usapin ngayon sa bansa, lalo na sa mga bansang talamak ang kristiyanismo. Bawat tao ay may kanya-kanyang opinyon ukol sa legalisyasyon ng pagiisang dibdib ng magkaparehong kasarian sa kani-kanilang bansa. Isa na nga sa naging mainit na usapin ay ang pagsasalegal ng “Same sex marriage” sa bansang Amerika. Marami ang natuwa, marami rin ang nagtaas ng kilay sa ginawang pagsasalegal ng “Same sex marriage”. Ang isa sa dahilan kung bakit malaking usapin ang pagiisang dibdib ng magkaparehong kasarian ay dahil ito ay imoral at nakakaiskandalo. Para sa mga relihiyoso ang pagiisang dibdib ng magkaparehong kasarian ay kontra sa utos ng Diyos. Ayon sa bibliya ang maari lamang ikasal ay si Eba(babae) at Adan(lalaki). Ang homoseksuwalidad ay hindi isang sakit ito ay nararamdaman lamang ng isang tao. Kapag sinabing homoseksuwal ang agad-agad na pumapasok sa isip ng mga tao ay ang bakla at tomboy. Ang pagiging homoseksuwal ay pagkakaroon ng interes sa pagkagusto ng isang babae o lalake sa kapareho nitong kasarian. Bawat tao ay may karapatan pumili kung ano ang nais nila. Ang mahalaga ay alam ng bawat isa kung saan sila lulugar...
