Uganda death penalty:
A committee of Ugandan has endorsed the proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill that includes the harsh punishment for those who are homosexual the original bill also prohibited the "promotion" of gay rights and called for the punishment of anyone who "funds or sponsors homosexuality" or "abets homosexuality". The bill has not been passed and it still in process but those who are homosexual right now are being judge and given a life sentence for being gay they are still discussing the fact of the death penalty however foreign donors have threatened to cut aid if gay rights are not respected. In this case there is a lot of foreign pressures because the president of Uganda Yoweri Museveni needs to sign the bill and he may be criticize and come into intense international pressure not to do so. The president of the United States gave his opinion on this case and he just said it was something odious.
Why should hay marriage be legal:
Legalizing gay marriage should not harm any body since you have the right to choose who your partner is. Most of the people who are against gay marriage say that it is bad because it goes against their religion or its values and this should not be like that because everybody is different and everybody has the right to choose your religion and your values. Now gay marriage is being more accepted and its legal in 12 us states, however people are against it because they say that marriage is between a woman and a man and not a man and man or a woman and a woman they also say gay couples cannot raise a child and this is completely false because they have done studies where children are raised with gay parents and they are successful people and most of them are totally straight people because gay parents are more open minded and

    Some people fear that if gay people are allowed to marry then it will undermine the very institution of marriage. This however is not true, as the whole concept of marriage is that two people who love each other bond together forever. A large percentage of straight marriages up to 40% end in divorce, but in gay marriages it is as low as 5.4%. Marriage is suppose to be forever, and lower divorce rates means more successful marriages.…

    According to Freedom to Marry (2015) “nearly 72% of the U.S population lives in a state currently issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples state-wide” (para.6). Most of our learning team’s opinion was also same-sex marriage does not hurt society or anyone in particular. They love and respect each other just like other heterosexual marriage couples and have their rights to choose to stay with whom they love. Also, other people do not have right to judge what is good or wrong. It will be a different issue if this marriage is causing side effect to society but until now there was no report of it at all.…

    “The perennial conviction that those who work hard and play by the rules will be rewarded with a more comfortable present and a stronger future for their children faces assault from just about every direction. That great enemy of democratic capitalism, economic inequality, is real and growing.” –Joe Meacham. The American Dream as we know it is under attack. Less than a hundred years ago, immigrants came into this country seeking respect and equality as they were trying to rebuild their lives. They saw the opportunity to start anew in the United States, to be provided with equal opportunity in all ways so that their children could live better lives than they were living. America faces a crisis at its promise of “equal opportunity” is slowly…

    Gay Rights In Canada

    On December 10th, 1948 the Universal Declaration of human rights was adopted by the UN with unanimous support, though eight countries refused to vote (Normand and Zaidi 2008, 178-180). This document formed the basis of the human rights regime for years to come and guaranteed freedoms and equalities. Or rather, that was the intended effect, and while it is impossible to ignore the effect the law has had the world, there are several aspects missing. Notably missing from the doctrine, was the inclusion of freedom of sexuality. This trend continues within Canada’s own declaration of rights: The Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This was not without debate, as LGBT rights activists have been throwing themselves into the conversations about rights…

    First of all, gay marriage should be legalized because it is unfair and unconstitutional to deny citizens this human right. President Obama said, “Every single American-gay, straight, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender-deserve to be treated equally in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of our society. It is pretty simple proposition” (Qtd. in Skiba 1). Gays and lesbians should have the right to do everything heterosexuals do without being judged. They should have the right to love, marry, and to choose whom they want as life partners. According to Andrew Sullivan, author of “Why Gay Marriage is Good for Straight America”, “Even political rights, like the right to vote, and nearly all other rights enumerated in the constitution, are secondary to the inalienable human right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence; and to this category the right to home and marriage unquestionably belongs” (2). All men are created equally. Each and every individual has the right to life,…

    In The Piano Lesson each central character learns a lesson. August Wilson uses plenty of symbolism throughout his play, the strongest symbol being the piano itself, representing the family's history, their long struggle, and their burden of their race. Throughout the play, the conflict revolves around the piano, and Berniece and Boy Willie's contrasting views about its significance and about what should be done with it. Berniece is ashamed and cannot let go of the past, or the piano, and Boy Willie wants to move his life forward, and use the piano to do so. Wilson portrays the 'lesson' of the piano as accepting and respecting one's past and moving on with one's life gracefully, through Berniece and Boy Willies contrasting actions and the play's climactic resolution.…

    Whether or not gay marriage should be legalized in the United States is an on going debate. I personally do not understand why it isn't legalized already; By not allowing homosexuals the right to marriage you are taking away their freedom of speech. It is not right to treat them with such inequality. Marriage should not be just between a man and a woman, if same-sax couples are in love and want to spend eternity together, they deserve the right to do so through marriage. Marriage comes along with many benefits that they are unable to recieve just because they are denied the right to marry.…

    Marriage is known to be a foundation between a man and a women and if two of the same sex are unified, individuals view that as wrong. Relationships of the same sex are often referred to being immoral and a social experiment. Some religions feared that if gay marriage became legal that the churches would be forced to marry gay couples at their will. After researching this specific topic, I truly believe that it is safe to say that the pros outweigh the cons in this discuss in my own belief. As well as in my opinion, I feel that as long as there is peace, love will be found. If we the people chose to abide by the Constitution than that is what needs to happen. People will forever have their own opinions but if others are happy it should not matter if it does not affect you or your life. Gay marriage was legalized and though individuals think that is wrong on the Constitutions part, they need to realize that we are America the free and even if the same genders are allowed to marry, we are still free as a…

The societies need babies and the adults have duties to shape their sexual behavior in order to stabilize the families in which the children grow up in (Gallagher). Children need guidance, and a place to…

    "Adam and Eve; not Adam and Steve", is the argument that many heterosexuals tend to use. I have also heard the same old story argued of Sodom and Gomorrah so much that I could possibly recite it word for word. If anyone were to seriously put their prejudices aside and look at that story, they would see that the sin was RAPE, not homosexuality. I believe that everyone should have equal rights and that includes gay rights. Homosexuals deserve equal treatment legally and socially.…
