Article Rebuttal There are many controversial topics that have been discussed to bring out different point-of-views of what people think should be or not to be; things that are right to do or not to do; to say or not to say. I recently read an article about a man name Justin, the executive director of the Gay Christian Network, who believes that God blesses same-sex marriage. Everybody is has a right to their own opinion. I totally disagree with Justin’s opinion on this topic. He tries to justify why he strongly believes that same-sex marriage is right in God’s eyes. Justin really tried to give a good explanation of his opinion. Analyzing this article for reliability, credibility, and validity was from a great source. A great source, …show more content…

In my opinion, his argument was poor. Again, his source of information was credible and reliable; however, the scriptures he used did not support that same-sex marriage is right in God’s eyes. In Justin’s article, he mentioned things such as polygamy and masters buying wives for their male slaves from the book of Exodus and Deuteronomy. Nothing that supports that it is right for two men to marry or two women to marry. Justin wrote, “The point is this: Biblical examples of marriage reflect the culture both in what they include and what they do not. (Lee, n.d.). He tried to use culture as reasoning that same-sex was not part of biblical days. Was that necessary? I do not think so. My thoughts about him using those books of the Bible was try to prove a point about marriage, yet failing to acknowledge that the marriage was between male and female, regardless if it was polygamy or masters buying wives for his male …show more content…

Genesis 2:24, the first mention of marriage, says, Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife (Biblegateway, n.d.). It says nothing about man cleaving to another man. As I quoted Justin earlier about how he thinks it is right for same –sex marriage as long as it is confine in a commitment that it is right, yet he avoids another scripture that should allow him to see truth.
It appears to me, he believes homosexual is right as long as it is in a marriage for life with Christ being the head. In other words, Justin do not believe homosexuals should not fornicate and for it to be right in the eyes of God it should be bonded in the unity of marriage. Wrong answer! In 1 Corinthians 7:2 says, Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband (Biblegateway, n.d.). This passage of scripture clearly is saying that for a man to have his own wife, and the wife to have her own

The three arguments that Pollitt summarize against same-sex marriage is that marriage is all about making the future generations, causing men to be less violent, and how marriages of different kinds occurred throughout history without anyone complaining.

“Once known, the fact that a person is a homosexual or a member of a racial minority group is regarded by members of the majority group (heterosexuals, Whites) as one of the most important pieces of information about her or him (Hereck).” The law of marriage only to opposite couples had affected a large portion of people that had different sexualities. This law encouraged people to go out and fight for their rights by starting petitions and protests as well. In this case, I believe that it was also seen as an unjust law, where it was only fair to part of the

Equality and same-sex marriage is similar to that of The Crucible. The thought of a same-sex marriage happening within the holy walls of God, is a sin, in the eyes of the church. Many churches have banned the ceremony of gay/lesbian marriages. The churches that disallow same-sex marriages are Baptists, Methodist, Catholic and Presbyterian churches. This selective behaviour from those particular churches, have caused hysteria from supporters of equality, especially the LGBTQ+ community.

When debating the legalization of same sex marriage, religious reasoning and accusations of bigotry often provoke obstinance. Instead of reiterating those arguments, William J. Bennett, a prominent cultural conservative, former secretary of education, and author of The Book of Virtues, focuses on societal effects in his op-ed article, “Against Gay Marriage.” Though Bennett’s piece conveys partiality, it also attempts to discuss this issue scrupulously to ensure readers will consider his argument and perhaps accept his implications. While some of Bennett’s word choices convey tolerance of the gay community, his rhetoric incites readers to accept that preserving society requires marginalizing homosexuals.

Yes, most religions are against same-sex marriage but that religion does not speak for everybody. Most people are against same sex marriage because of religion. Research is showing that most people do not even believe in religion at all anymore. I agree with Sotomayor when she says how does withholding marriage from LGBTQ community increase value to another.

The backlash on the ruling is much warranted. I say this because if we took a national poll, the ruling would be that gay marriage would not be allowed. We live in a democratic society where the people "should" rule but as always, the government has the final say. Although I do agree with the backlash and understand why it is happening I still hold firm to my belief that they should still be allowed to marry. I believe this because if my neighbors who are both males were to marry each other, why or how does that influence or affect my life.
