Gay rights would make the world a better place. while accepting other people’s differences. Nobody can put themselves in their shoes, because they can’t choose whether they choose to be straight or gay, but discriminating them and stripping them from their civil rights, is just wrong and cruel of us as the United States, whom is also known as the county for freedom and our rights. We are hypocritical for saying how we have so many rights and we are such a free country, but when society dictates who can marry who, and people are being discriminated against and beaten on, that isn’t a practice of rights. Now, expressing you feel that homosexuality is a sin, is a religious right. But, on the other hand, telling a couple they can’t marry because of it, and making it illegal for gays to marry, is striping homosexuals of their natural rights. We as the United States can’t be known as the country who treats everyone equal, because we don’t. Especially against homosexual males and females. To sum it all up, denying them their natural rights is wrong, and society shouldn’t be dictating who can marry who. They will marry whoever they want, it’s not hurting anyone in particular, so why is it illegal? Oh thats right, because religious freedom overules civil rights? No, it’s about equality; if the United States is going to be …show more content…

    Same-sex marriages are one of the main issues towards the second half of the book. For instance, “Allowing gays and lesbians to marry has become part of the national debate” (Cahn and Carbone, 2010: 135). The book discusses the opinions of both groups on this issue. The red states do not recognize gays and lesbians while blue states recognize them and many support them. As stated, “15 of the states voting blue in 2008—and none of the red states—extend at least some form of recognition of same-sex marriage” (Cahn and…

    The decision of the Supreme Court will have a far-reaching impact on future cases. For the LGBT community, there are concerns that if the Supreme Court’s judgement sides with Mr. Phillips and makes the judgement that the bakery has the speech right protected, it would create legal discrimination based on a claim of religious beliefs (Roberts) which would “would amount to a broad mandate for discrimination” (Liptak). On the contrary, if the Supreme Court is in favor of the gay couple, then the discriminated people might have a better feeling of being protected by the law. Also, people in businesses, in fear of being accused, will pay more attention to their speeches and stop the inappropriate action of giving discrimination to their customers. In that way, the minority groups can be treated fairly and feel respected.…

    Gay Marriage and Equality Gay marriage, these two words can make people go from being completely civilized, to arguing like crazy. This is a very sensitive topic for many people, and I honestly don't know why it has to be. I am fully supportive of the gay marriage law and rights. I think that through the years we have had this image of what a perfect society is supposed to be like. Trying to make the perfect society has ruined us we no longer accept people for they are, we only accept people that fit our own idea of perfect.…

    It seems so simple to love, that the comfort of attraction lends itself to everyone and that the subtleties of interest are selfsame, by instinct at least; even so, it’s said that we’re conditioned to love, but to me, it’s not that we’re conditioned to it as much as we’re in the condition of its capability, simply being human—to love’s as natural as life itself, as typical as sight or sound, as native as a thought of rationality. Trouble, then, comes about when love we know true doesn’t quite liken the love someone else experiences, from which differences and judgements then arise. This is true of many circumstances, but continues to be true for Americans who identify as LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgendered)—that judgments of them…
