Civil union

just about the right to marry whom you wish, but it is deeper than that, it is a movement about protecting our basic human rights and liberties. According to Fine & Levin-Waldman (2016), The U.S. Supreme Court’s recognition of same-sex marriage as a civil right makes it fall under the protection of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment; if marriage is guaranteed to all individuals, then it cannot be denied to one group of people. Although this is now considered a right and anyone is…

In the Sacramento Bee I read an article, Federal judge says California early release program can't exclude male inmates written by Danny Walsh; this early release program could not be settled for just females inmates alone because it was seen unconstitutional and must include both genders into the inmate program to lessen sentence to uniting families. The case asserted that California illegally separates on the basis of gender by permitting female inmates, but not male inmates, allowing male…

from some Texan officials trying to overturn the ruling. So far same sex couples can still be married in Texas but unfortunately that could change. The Texas Constitution in Article 1 Section 32 says, “Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman” (Texas Constitution). This of course goes against the Supreme Court ruling and people can get married in Texas. So right now the Texas Constitution is going…

The definition of what the “American Identity” has changed throughout each generation. Mainly because we all experienced different events that morphed how we see things. Morals change and ideas expand, opening up opportunities or sometimes closing them. Throughout my short time of living, multiple good and bad things have happened.

You should vote for the Democratic party and here’s why. The Democratic party supports the minimum wage being raised, same-sex marriage, stricter gun laws, and migration into the United States legally. Democrats believe that the current minimum wage is a starvation wage and must be increased to a living wage. Raising the minimum wage would benefit the people who are under the poverty line. If a person makes $15,000 a year before taxes, that person will end up under the poverty line after taxes.…

Known as the land of the brave, but are we really brave or do we just hide behind the mask of bravery and pride. Look around, everyone's wearing a mask because everyone is too…

sodomy, the first step to legalizing same-sex activities. During the 1970s, the Canadian government failed with the litigation of same-sex marriage, and the Supreme Court of Canada began to claim the idea of them being policymakers, but most importantly, in 1977, Quebec was the first province to make it illegal to discriminate against an individual’s sexual orientation. The Canadian Charter of Right and Freedom began to create equality norms in 1982. Although many events had taken place…
