Author Aeon Skoble talks about what a marriage should be, and how a family should work. The author says that today’s modern family should be between a man and a woman because of divorce reasons. When a man and a woman get a divorce, the mother and the father both have custody still. When a same-sex couple gets a divorce, only one of the parents gets to keep the custody of the child because there is only one legal parent. The donor, or the carrier, is the one who gets the full custody. The author references someone else to get there opinion and the author said that the topic of same-sex marriage has two sides, a left and a right. The Horwitz said that the left side as people who see marriage as an oppressive situation that gay couples should not want to join. Horwitz says that the right side are the ones who look at same-sex marriage as a virtue rather than a vice. A virtue means something when people have high standards for something. The researcher agrees with the right side of Horwitz idea. There should be some kind of virtue that drives to lets the same-sex couples to be recognized as married.

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.

Summary of Articles: Article 1: The author, Jack Pitney, asserts that Same-Sex Marriage is a topic disagreed upon by Americans: whether it is an issue of legality in the Constitution, and whether it should be up to states or the federal government to make a decision. Pitney finds that the minority party in Congress has often sought to oppose legislation by the majority party citing that it should be a states’ rights issue. Yet, when there is a change in the majority, the once-minority party hypocritically defends the issue as being up to the national government. Most politicians prior to 2012 agreed that the issue of Same-Sex marriage was answered by DOMA (1996), and that a piece of legislation by the Federal Government would violate the powers defined in the Constitution. Article 2: Pew Research Center finds that opposition to homosexual marriage hit a high after Bill Clinton signed the DOMA (1996) and continued to remain high until 2007.

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.

In addition to health, marriage and family also contributes to social institutions. Although, many may assume marriage is an individual choice, it requires legal documentation and changes financial incomes. Moreover, government plays a role in determining marriage because it has a set of rules one must abide to. The book explains that one must be a couple in order to become legally married, which means no more than two individuals and marriage of blood relationship is not allowed. Furthermore, most states in the US only allow opposite sexes to get married, however socially it is becoming acceptable for people such as transgender to marry the gender he/she chooses.

Colson states “The family, led by a married mother and father, is the best available structure for both child rearing and cultural health” (Colson, page 578). Says who? How is a non-heterosexual couple any less capable of raising a child? Not to mention, all the single parents out there due to either divorce or became widowed. A stable and loving environment is what a child needs, not for people to place a label on his or her parents.

Is it unsettling that there is no uniformity of laws regarding gay marriage across the United States? Some states allow gay marriage, some allow civil unions, and some states allow no form of homosexual domestic partnerships, at least not ones recognized formally.

Brandon Woody English 3604-201 Dr. Reginald Martin 7/9/2015 Uproar Over Marriage Equality June 26th, 2015 was a monumental day for the LGBT community due to the Supreme Court of the United States deciding that preventing gay couples from getting married was unconstitutional, consequently legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states. The response to the SCOTUS?s decision has been mixed, with supporters expressing elation to detractors displaying disappointment and anger in response to the ruling. Although I wouldn?t describe myself to be elated when news of the legalization of gay marriage was revealed, I am in support of the decision the Supreme Court handed down. I consider myself a supporter of the Supreme Court?s decision for the following reasons: the United States has long been a global leader on social issues; legislation in the modern era shouldn?t be based upon the rules included in archaic religious texts, and there are far greater issues that deserve the
