18 May 2016 Many children struggle with the fact of not having a mother or father figure and gay marriage would definitely not helping no matter how loving or kind they are it just isn?t enough for the child?s need and wants. Why you should care because in a contest between the desires of homosexuals and the needs of our children we can?t allow our children to lose (Hansen). Gay Marriage is unholy, while homosexual acts go against the natural moral law. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementary under no circumstances can they be approved (Ratzinger). In Romans chapter one twenty six through twenty seven the bible says God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged …show more content…

Also professional business could risk government sanctions because they don?t treat gays and straight couples the same because they believe it is wrong. The reason of marriage is to procreate and expand the population and with gay marriage you just can?t do that. Today I have tried to persuade you why I think gay marriage shouldn?t be allowed. Allowing it just wouldn?t set a good example for the next generation, why leave our kids with a mess we could fix for them.

Amanda Stevenson Dr. Woodiwiss PO 101 30 November 2015 _______________________________ On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled any state ban against gay marriage unconstitutional with the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. Ruling in favor of Obergefell, the court’s decision shook what was thought to be the “stable ground” of the United States. Stemming from similar cases presented in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Tennessee, Obergefell v. Hodges illuminated two objective questions: “Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to license a marriage between two people of the same sex?” and “Does the Fourteenth Amendment require a state to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex that was legally licensed and performed

In his essay titled Gay “Marriage”: Societal Suicide, Charles Colson discusses fervently his opposition of same-sex marriage. The essay’s main point is constructed around Colson’s belief that if same-sex marriage were to be legalized, it would decouple marriage and procreation and thus destroy the “traditional building block of human society.” He states that same-sex marriage would lead to “an explosive increase in family collapse, out-of-wedlock births - and crime.” Colson presents us with a diverse set of evidence including statistics, studies, and his firsthand experience as a prison minister.

A brochure for “Reminder Day” expressed that homosexuals were often not treated as equals and that the Federal, state and local governments have shown bias towards these individuals. Although some religions would perceive homosexuality as a sin, the individuals are still human and should be given the same opportunities as the rest of the population. In the past, the Declaration of Independence promised natural rights for all men, but some rights were not realized for minority groups. Over time, parts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were revoked and amended so that in today’s world, all “men”, including women and minority groups, all have the same rights.

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.

Huckabee stated, “This ruling is not about marriage equality, it’s about marriage redefinition. This irrational, unconstitutional rejection of the expressed will of the people in over 30 states will prove to be one of the court’s most disastrous decisions, and they have had many” (“Mike Huckabee”). Former Arkansas Governor and Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee opposes same sex marriage and believes Americans must defend, protect and preserve traditional marriage (“Values”).

World War II (WWII) lasted longer and killed more people than the Great War. There was not a fast victory conquered by bombers hitting the heart of the enemy. Airpower’s contribution to the allied victory did not represented the ultimate fulfillment of the predictions of interwar theorists. Even though airpower had an important role, and many lessons and doctrines emerged after this period, the visions of Douhet, Mitchell and others did not materialized. In this paper, I will discuss three of the main prophecies: the miscalculated effectiveness of the strategic bombing, the inability of airpower to replace the ground and sea forces, and the successful use of the airpower in the defense of territory.

In spite of the fact that a privilege to marry is not listed in the Constitution, the Court said that such a privilege is covered under the Fourteenth Amendment in light of the fact that such choices are vital to our survival and our values. Accordingly, they should essentially reside with the individual instead of with the state. This choice is a conflict with the popular argument that something cannot be an actual constitutional right unless it is spelled out straightforwardly in the U.S. Constitution. It additionally stands out amongst the most imperative models on the general thought of common uniformity, clarifying that essential social equality is basic to our reality and cannot really be restricted on the grounds that a few people trust that their god can 't help

This can be reflected in the LGBT+Rights Movements, with activists wanting equality between straight cisgender people and LGBT+ people, and show how a person’s sexuality or gender identity does not reflect their personality. In a New York Times article on the 2015 Supreme Court decision granting marriage equality, Adam Liptak quoted Justice Kennedy, saying “without the recognition, stability and predictability marriage offers, their children suffer the stigma of knowing their families are somehow lesser. They also suffer the significant material costs of being raised by unmarried parents, relegated through no fault of their own to a more difficult and uncertain family life”. The marriage laws at issue here thus harm and humiliate the children of same-sex couples.” Although this quote is on the issue of marriage equality, it outlines the theme of the LGBT+ movements: they want equality, they want recognition, and they want safety.

It is an online and print news magazine that considers its readers to be the most influential people in the country such as leaders that can influence others opinions. The information is secondary in nature and is written as an opinion piece to sway the reader into believing that it is time to legalize polygamist marriage. It does provide an in-depth history of gay marriage and how the same arguments that were used to deny gay marriage are used to deny polygamist marriage. He quoted the Supreme Court on two separate occasions but failed to provide evidentiary support regarding his comparative views of the status of traditional marriages versus polygamist relationships. The article does not cite any references or provide a bibliography.

In 2015, the Obergefell v. Hodges case ended the “state bans on same-sex marriage”, therefore legalizing same-sex marriage (Important Supreme Court Cases). Now, “same-sex couples can now receive the benefits...of marriage that were largely exclusive to heterosexual couples” (Koch). The ruling has led to the modern fight for gay civil rights. Exposure to the LGBTQ+ community, the southern “Bathroom Bills”, and other fights for transgender rights, and the press for more LGBTQ+ representation in the media has erupted from this case. Both rulings had very big impacts on their respective communities.
