"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." -Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address

Ever since the beginning of time, there has been one topic that has been widely and wildly debated; should the gays be able to marry? The right-wing, for good reason, has answered no to this question. After all, I heard that the day after the current thirty-one states that allow same-sex marriage (nslc.org, Same-Sex Marriage Laws) passed the law, they went up in rainbow flames and homosexuals tried to convert their people. Reason against marriage equality ranges from religious based to biology based, so shall we get down …show more content…

Two vaginas bumping together will not create a baby, but neither will a hostile uterus. There are tons of people who have the misfortune of not being able to have kids, old people and infertile couples, or people who just do not want kids. Does that mean these people cannot get married? Oh, of course not, that would be discrimination. Right? There are too many cases these days of women who have kids and are not ready for them and as a result adoption agencies fill up. I see a solution to the gays-cannot-procreate-problem, do you? All we have to do is hand out the adoptable kids to a nice gay couple, like an Oprah special; "You get a kid, and you get a kid! Everybody gets a …show more content…

In Christianity, the religion which causes the most ruckus over it, homosexuality is just as sinful as, say, working on Sundays. "For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death." (Exodus 35:2) Whoa, whoa. Slow down. That should not count; it was from the Old Testament. They were crazy and gave harsh punishment. Yes, they did; that is precisely the point. The only two arguments against gays take place in Leviticus; which is also in the Old Testament. "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a women, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." (Leviticus 20:13) In the New Testament, nothing is said about gays while in the Ten Commandments, it is still said the seventh day should be a holy

It states clearly in the bible followed with simplicity having an explanation of its symbolic representation that this generation is of the worse in this society and that we will be dealing with series situations like: Witch-craft, Homosexuality, Adulterers, Haters, Liars, False accusers, Hypocrites and all the wicked things you could ever imagine and that’s why people disagree of what’s been said because it’s the truth. We can see it happening everywhere and it has come to reality. Some people fail to realise why? And then they question why life has to be so harsh towards them, why it has to be this way?

David Boonin’s response to Jeff Jordan made great points. Boonin mentions that “marriage involves a public recognition of a personal relationship between two people and people who are married become eligible for various sorts of public benefits that are unavailable to unmarried couples” and that to take this away from homosexual couples makes it into a “public dilemma” (Boonin 247). I strongly agree with this claim, as it is basic to understand that regardless of your gender, race, or sexual orientation, you are entitled as a human to certain rights. It is a discrimination to try and retract this right from anyone because of their sexual orientation. Just as it would be to try and prevent marriages of different races or religious backgrounds.

Sam Allberry, the author of the book Is God Anti-Gay, provides an easy-to-read and comprehensive analysis of topics surrounding homosexuality. He covers the relationships between homosexuality and God’s design; homosexuality and the Bible; homosexuality and the Christian; homosexuality and the church; and homosexuality and the world. Alberry’s view of our relationship with God and each other is very Biblically accurate; however, his view on judgment is slightly different from what I believe is found in scripture. His analysis of the relationship between human marriage and God’s nature is very accurate and profound. Allberry’s views about the gift of singleness share a similar profound accuracy.

In the context of religion, their behavior is not considered atypical and their masculinity is preserved. However, “if the motivation is to satisfy a secret desire for homosexual activity then there would be a problem” (Burke, pg.151). Gender deviant activities are not sinful as long as it is heterosexual. Non-normative sex is an individual’s taste until the motive challenges heteronormativity. God detests homosexuality and people who are non-heterosexuals are excluded from having godly

Lee Jefferson states “any reference to same-sex practice by a Biblical writer or a Greco-Roman writer has no knowledge or understanding of the concept of “same-sex orientation. “ There is no Hebrew or Greek cognate word in the Biblical text to reflect the modern term “same-sex orientation” or “homosexuality.” Moreover, there were no discussions or arguments concerning sexual orientation in the ancient and late ancient world” (“What Does The Bible Actually Say About Gay Marriage?” par.8) Lee Jefferson explains that by then during and before the time of Jesus Christ.

Many conservatives see anything other than being attracted to the opposite sex a sin because of arguable biblical textual aspects. Biblical references are interoperated in accordance to one’s individualistic ideas and cannot be used as concrete evidence in any situation. There are points to the popular consensus among conservatives that peoples of sexual orientation other than between man and women are not considered

This is where I disagree with Campolo; I do not believe that homosexual behavior is considered a sin; that within the confines of marriage, homosexual intercourse is not sinful in any way. Using the practical theology method, I hope to better explain and explore my position further.

Again, I did state at the end that this wasn’t completely true and that I posted it because of the point it raises, that this isn’t some black and white issue- that the answer, “God said so” just isn’t an acceptable answer anymore. Leviticus 20:13 is the Trump

Children may grow up thinking with a stigma that their family is inferior if they do not have the right to marry, compared to other families who do. Lastly, marriage is historically a keystone of social order. Since there are no differences between same-sex marriages and opposite-sex marriages in relations to these principles, banning same-sex couples from the right to marry violates the Due Process Clause of the fourteenth amendment. The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment also protects the right of same-sex couples to marry; prohibiting this right to same-sex couples would deny them equal protection under the

The question remains, Is religion keeping people from coming out as they fear change from it being a sin? Most people that are asked, mainly christians or catholics, they will most likely say that it is not right, and that if someone likes or loves anything but the opposite gender, then you are an abomination, but do they have the right to judge somebody? The bible clearly states homosexuality is a sin if looked up, it can be seen in (leviticus chapter 12 verse 22) “ Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination”. With saying this, the bible in this case is talking about how a man shall not lay with a man, as a woman can not lay with a woman.

My second reason for supporting LGBT/ same-sex marriage is the reason for discrimination against marriage. The UDHR article number 7 illustrates that all people are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination. Furthermore, article 1 of the UDHR also indicates that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. We should act towards one another in a spirit of a brother. By denying the same right as anybody else just because you are different is a clear form of discrimination, and it goes against the constitution.

Homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted and integrated into today’s society, however, when it comes to homosexuals establishing families, a problem is posed. In most states, homosexuals can adopt children like any other married or single adult. There are many arguments to this controversial topic; some people believe that it should be legal nationally, while others would prefer that is was banned everywhere, or at least in their individual states. There are logical reasons to allow gays to adopt children, but for some, these reasons are not enough. The main issue really is, what is in the best interest of the child?
