Gay Marriage
PROPOSITION: Resolved, that gay marriage should not be legal.

PRACTICALITY:

United States is filled with so many problems why legalize gay marriage to bring even more problems? There are so many reasons why this is not practical, or right, but I’ll start with this, How many of you guys believe in God? I will only bring this up because we attend a religious school, at the beginning God created Adam and Eve to be together and to have kids so that we would have generations. Because of Adam and Eve we are here! Because of our parents, a woman and men we are here. Two men and two woman can’t create life. In the book of Genesis verse 1 salms 27 it says “ So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created us” Don’t you guys think that if Gay marriage was okay, God would’ve created man and man or female and female? Now that I have said that I can say that people are not born being gay, because God created us in his own image, but maybe you’re one of the people that doesn’t think that’s right and that believes that people are born being gay, this is not proven but even if it was true the person could take therapy for this because like it or not this is an “un-natural” thing. Therefore being gay is a choice, because we are not born being gay, and we’re not treated equal for our choices we are treated equal as persons. Not only does gay marriage goes against God but it will also be bad for our government.

-Income taxes will be increased to make up for the marriage tax benefits. Our government provides financial benefits to married couples because they produce and care for children, why should homosexuals couples get the same benefit as men and woman raising children?

- Also, Social security taxes will be increased in order to pay survivor support benefits to homosexuals “widows” and “widowers”

- Lastly, Free speech and religious rights will be reduced! Anyone that says or does something against

    Did you know that same sex couples don't get the same benefits as different sex couples (same sex couples should have access to the same benefits enjoyed by all hetero sexual married couples). There are ll38 benefits, rights and protections available to married couples in federal law alone,according to a general accounting office assessment (same sex couples should have access to the same benefits enjoed by all hetero sexual marnied couples). The reason that they don't have these rights is because same people's religious beliefs and political view are biased toward gays (Raimondo). The point is that people in the lgbtq should have the rights that they deserve.…

    There are many reasons why we have the Bill of Rights and one of them is to create equal protection amendments. Denying marriage to a homosexual couple is not anymore different than denying marriage between a Hispanic, Black or any other minority couple. Rejecting homosexual couples is a violation of religious freedom and minority discrimination. What right does the government have to say in who can’t get married? Would you like it if people vote for your marriage? I didn’t think so, its obviously unfair for strangers that have never met you in your life to chose your future. Its very likely and very much proven through evidence and research that homosexuality is genetic. Is the government going to ban unfertile or disable people from getting married too? Our country is supposed to be based on Liberty, Justice, and Equality, not pure ignorance.…

    The same-sax marriage was a disputed topic that everyone would like to speak, but no any political will or popular sentiment for it until recently. In the case United States v. Windsor, the United States Supreme Court declared that same-sex couples are recognized by federal law and can receive federal benefits which the estate would have qualified for a marital exemption, and no taxes would have been imposed. Edith Windsor, who married to Thea Clara Spyer in Canada in 2007, after she lost her spouse in 2009, she could not be entitled to the estate tax benefits because they were same-sex couple. Even though their marriage was recognized by New York state law, she still had to pay $363,000 estate tax if she wanted to inherit her spouse’s house…

    One common problem that plagues gay and lesbian couples that are denied the right to marry is their inability to claim their partner’s social security after he or she is dead. The Human Rights Campaign, which work to achieve equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, is supporting the effort to attain survivor benefits for domesticate partners. They believe, “Any alteration to the Social Security system must include partners of gays and lesbians in its definition of survivor” Currently, there are no programs that give homosexuals survivor benefits like the ones that are provided for heterosexuals who are married or divorced. Gay and lesbian partners are not able to claim benefits of their decease, regardless of the fact that all working citizens’ heterosexuals or homosexual pay into the Social Security system for survivor benefits. Sadly, this leaves many gay and lesbian couples with an unstable retirement. The most disturbing fact is that even though homosexuals and heterosexuals pay the government for survivor benefits, even people who divorced can even claim survivor benefits whereas a lifelong gay/lesbian partner cannot. This is blatant discrimination against people of different…

    People always against same-sex marriage but then they do not hate gays they just disagree that same sex marriage relate with religious. People think that marriage was established by God in Paradise for our first parents, Adam and Eve. As the book of Genesis mentioned “God created man in His image; in the Divine image he created him; make and female He created them. God blessed them, saying ‘Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.’” (Gen 1:28-29). However, government and religious beliefs should be separated, government should not put religious beliefs into consideration, it is extremely unfair. Government has to clear and classify that government is the one who make the law not religious or God. It is important that we know that same-sex marriage has their freedom to choose the religious beliefs or not, so government is the one who control it but not religion so it should clearly…

    Gay marriage discussions are highly present in our society. Student writer, A.J. Chavez argues that not only should marriage occur between a man and a woman, but also the same sex. He articulates his thoughts on how if the same sex feels the same way a straight couple feels, and then it shouldn’t be a problem. However, our society uses religious views and traditional morals to restrain gay marriage. Apparently, we as a nation are indecisive on this issue today. The student writer states valid arguments and backs it up completely. In Chavez’s essay, he argues his point of view on gay civil unions.…

    Ask just about anyone they’ll all say they’re in favor of equal rights for gays. Just name the topic- should gay people have the same rights in housing, jobs, should they have equal access to government benefits or equal protection under the law? Then you get to the topic of gay marriage- that’s when all the talk of equality stops dead cold. If two people love each other, no matter what their gender, ethnic back round, or religious values are, they should be able to get married. The law doesn’t discriminate against a white and black person getting married, or a Catholic and Jewish person, so why not two gay people. Unfortunately Proposition 8 passes-which now means that gay marriage in California is not recognized. Not allowing gay people to get married is like saying they have no rights, or they don’t matter. Gays should be able to marry because it’s their constitutional rights as human beings.…

    Concerning local, state and federal government it is argued that those opposed to gay marriage should not have to spend their tax dollars supporting them in the form of employment benefits consisting of tax ride offs, medical benefits, etc. According to the Congressional Budget Office (2009), “the cost to the federal government of extending employment benefits to same-sex domestic partners of certain federal employees would be $596 million in mandatory spending and $302 million in discretionary spending between 2010 and 2019.” Those for gay marriage believe otherwise stating that a large amount of income in the form of taxes would benefit local and state economies in the form of marriage licenses and high income taxes. It was found in New York, one of the countries biggest metropolitan areas with one of the highest gay populations, that legalizing gay marriage “would bring $142 million to the city’s economy and $184 million to the state’s economy over three years.” According to the American Journal of Public Health, after the banning of gay marriage in many states “gay, lesbian and bisexual people suffered a 37% increase in mood disorders, a 42% increase in alcohol-use disorders, and a 248% increase in generalized anxiety disorders” ("Pro & Con…

    At a time where a procedural republic is present, gay marriage is an issue that does not satisfy the ideal of liberty as self-choosing and unencumbered. However, this concern has become one of the most controversial subjects today because it violates the first amendment, which is the right of the people to peaceably assemble. How are homosexuals supposed to assemble for their cause if they are threatened with violence? Homosexuality is the real problem in the eyes of many and anything relating to this topic is immediately cast down. Because homosexuals are a minority, their rights cannot be advocated because their lifestyle is not part of the dominant culture. The government is supposed to bracket morality issues and remain objective on topics like gay marriage, but for some reason this is not happening. Administrations are able to get away with using their religious and moral backgrounds to set certain laws in place, remaining unjust. The issue of gay marriage is not homosexuality in itself but an individual 's right to choose whom they want to marry.…

    There are many popular arguments going against same-sex marriage. Many people think that by allowing homosexuals to marry the sanctity of marriage will be destroyed. Personally I think that is a silly argument. By allowing same-sex marriage the government would be saying that it believes in the sanctity of marriage so much that they are willing to allow it to be an ever-changing policy. The government has, in the past, allowed marriage policy to change. There was a time when African-American’s were not allowed to legally marry one another; once that hurdle was…

    There is really no difference between same sex couples and the traditional couples. Both argue about the same things like where to spend the holidays, the expenses of everyday living, and children. (Fratti, K. (2005, September 23). Practically married, but not. Bucks County Courier times). Just because they are a same sex couple does not mean they agree all the time. There is however, one big difference same sex couples cannot get married. While traditional couples can get married. Most married couples will look at gay marriage as a threat to the constitution of marriage and will cause the demise of the traditional marriage. I do not think letting gays marry will destroy the constitution of marriage.…
