Homosexuality Is It Right or Wrong?
Homosexuals are not afforded the opportunity to express themselves freely and in the open because society can simply not accept homosexuality as part of today’s culture. I do not feel as though it is fair for society to take away a right from someone to be with or marry a person of the same sex simply because their choice of sexual orientation differs from that of the average American. Today’s society does not feel as though gay couples should have the right to get married. I believe that they should have the right to get married if they wish to. I believe that no one should be denied the right to do something that makes them happy simply because it goes against our personal beliefs. I feel as though you should be allowed the opportunity to commit your life to your partner regardless of your sexual orientation. We as American’s go against this most of the time simply because it is not part of our life style, culture or society. Most people are raised to think that being gay is unholy or is looked down upon. Society has brain washed us into thinking one set that love is for a couple of the opposite only and is not for same sex couples. I hope to prove that homosexuals deserve to be treated with dignity and respect because they are human being just like the rest of us. I hope that this will help us to open our eyes and change the views on that which society has told us are wrong. Homosexuality has been such a big topic in the news here of late and it can always start a debate in any conversation. Everyone has an opinion” it is wrong or it is right” I am not a homosexual but I do have friends that are. Therefore, I got the help from a friend and asked her a series of questions that would better help me to relay my message to the readers. I thought everyone always hits the bible when this topic comes up I chose the Constitution for a different point
