Dennis Hiebert is a professor at the Providence University College. As I read this article I was very pleased with how well it was put together. The author did also answer the questions that he had set out to address. The article was a not at all hard to understand at first, however there are some parts that were just I little difficult. When a part came up that was difficult to understand, just analyzing the segment cleared what I could not understand. The author has a bias towards homosexuality. He wishes to point out that homophobia may be the fear of homosexuals, however he also points out that some homophobes are homoppressors.
These people wish to not allow homosexuals to marry and or have relations. They believe that a homosexual should repents their ways and complete gay conversion. If one didn’t complete the conversion or it didn’t work, they believe that the person should

The author did answer the questions that I had. He gave great statistical information and qualitive information. The article is a little difficult to understand for that fact that he continuously repeats information. As an example, he repeatedly explained the meaning of what “marriage-equivalent legal benefits” were. The author doesn’t clearly state that he is either for or against same-sex marriage, however, throughout the entire article I detected subtle hints of bias towards same-sex marriage. The quantitative information was greatly used and it was presents though a little confusing. He presented this information in clusters with exceptions and limitations. The author get his information through many legal books and information given in articles. The author uses for the most part easy to understand verbal inputs; however, he does insert some complicated sentences to show the complexing of the

    The Mississippi Improvement Committee is a rather abstruse name for a group advocating women’s rights and rights for all races. The name, and the people behind this group casts a positive light. What McGuire best shows is how this group has been neglected by history and how it has been “left in the footnotes of history.” McGuire states, “Georgia Gilmore and her club (MIA) from Nowhere, “represented more than the actual cash they contributed each week,” B.J.

    In Chavez’s essay, “The Case for (Gay) Marriage”, he takes on a persuasive tone to be able to achieve his goal of getting the audience to view issues in his perspective. The issue that is presented at hand is the very controversial topic of gay marriage and Chavez effectively attempts to get the audience on his side—he manages to do so by using the three rhetorical appeals of logos, pathos, and ethos. From the very beginning, Chavez strikes his audience with the appeal of pathos. To be able to create a truly influential piece, there must be some sort of appeal to emotions because that is when the audience begins to reason with the words of the author.…

    However, I will agree with the author’s general idea about same sex marriage causing deinstitutionalization because I believe it does diverts from the traditional path of marriage practiced with the goal of procreation and purpose. Regardless, in point of view I think this new norm of same sex marriage is a sort of appreciation of the human race to love who we like and that marriage is not only about procreation but purpose and interpersonal…

In the early to mid 1800’s, sectionalism in America grew as slavery divided the Nation. Slavery was ignored, compromised, and argued about by the states until the conflict drove our country into the Civil War. Although regional differences are not as distinct these days, many issues are currently causing division among the states and people of our country.…

    The authors findings agree with other general findings that illustrate homophobia as a variation of dormant homosexuality, in which the person is either utterly oblivious to or refuses to acknowledge their same-sex urges (Adams, Wright, & Lohr, 1996). Possible limitation is the testing effect in the case of assessing the participant’s aggression led to awareness of their own aggression and the denial of it. Another limitation is they only looked at men, men who were young, and men that were white. They also seemed to only focused on negative homophobic feelings men feel towards gay men as opposed to including hostility that is also faced by lesbians; they didn’t address why this was done; are homophobic men less aggressive towards lesbian women, then they are towards gay men? The study only looks at homophobia through the male lens, eliminating the examination homophobia towards women by women.…

Lots of people thinks that same-sex marriage is one of the reasons that and that it supposedly wrecks the balance between traditional marriage and the balance between man and woman that’s supposed to equally balance the differences and family to create a brand- new creation to create man and woman as one. Phooey. People don’t know who is able to enforce marriage.…
