Write an argument explaining whether you agree of disagree with Sullivan’s argument in paragraph 28. Support your opinion from your experience, observation, or reading.

In “ What are Homosexuals For?” Andrew Sullivan maker a convincing argument about homosexual relationships v. heterosexual relationships. He says that, “ It is also true, however, that homosexual relationships in their current, somewhat eclectic form, may contain features that could nourish the broader society as well. Precisely because there is no institutional model, gay relationships are often sustained more powerfully by genuine commitment. The mutual nurturing and sexual expressiveness of many lesbian relationships, the solidity and space of many adult male gay relationships, are qualities sometimes lacking in more rote heterosexual couplings.” He also says that, “Same- sex unions often incorporate the virtues of friendship more effectively than traditional marriages; and at times among gay male relationships, the openness of the contract makes it more likely to survive than many heterosexual bonds...But something of the gay relationship”s necessary honesty, its flexibility, and its equality could undoubtedly help strengthen and inform many heterosexual bonds.”I wholeheartedly agree with Sullivan’s argument. I, however, believe that there is another factor that makes this argument true. Along with all of those things there is a vital reason why homosexual relationships last and are stronger than many heterosexual ones. That reason is the sense of kinship they share. Of all people in the world, homosexuals are the most widely hated. Religions preach against them, and groups make it their mission to make their likes Hell and to deny them the rights they deserve. I believe that homosexual relationships are all the more stronger because of the camaraderie that what is done to them as a people brings.

In my personal opinion, homosexual people are some of the strongest people in the world. They have to be. They are hated, disgraced, defamed, and fought against simply because of the fact that they happen to like the same sex. Groups like Abiding Truth Ministries, American Vision, and Concerned Women for America preach against homosexuality, saying that it destroys families and that it goes against God's commandments. They breed hate that poisons the minds of our youth and drives people to take part in horrifying acts. Through all of this the homosexual community stands together and their relationships are stronger because of the love and acceptance that they have, not only for their partners, but also for themselves as a people.
