The contents are: meaning, brief background and thesis statement for the Introduction; for the Body of the discussion is the counter argument; and for the conclusion art: the summary and the restatement of the thesis statement.
!ame !ex "arriage also known as gay marriage or e#ual marriage it is marriage between two ersons of the same biological sex or gender identity. In the $%th and $&st centuries various tyes of same'sex unions have come to be legali(ed. !ame'sex marriage is currently legal in eight )uroean countries: Belgium, *enmark, Iceland, the +etherlands, +orway, ortugal, !ain, and !weden; -uxembourg, inland, rance and the /nited 0ingdom are currently in the rocess of legali(ation. oliticians in the /nited 0ingdom have exressed their intention to romote legislation to allow same'sex marriage. 1ther tyes of recognition for same'sex unions a re as of $%&$ legal in the following )uroean countries: Andorra, Austria, 2(ech 3eublic, *enmark, inland, rance, 4ermany, 5ungary, Ireland, Isle of "an, 6ersey, -iechtenstein, -uxembourg, !lovenia, !wit(erland and the /nited 0ingdom ."any eole have their own beliefs and reasoning7s when it comes to 4ay8-esbian "arriage. 4od made a man and woman to 9oin hands together and say vows in the right way but however in some states it is a legal to get married with your same sex. !o, a man is for woman and woman is for man. Three reasons why other erson wants to legal the same sex marriage: irst is, they have said all have a sin nature, with weaknesses to sin in articular ways and some eole exress their sin nature is one way, other eole exress theirs in other ways. 5omosexuality is 9ust one way in a fair and balanced way. !econdly, "arriage is a basic human right and an individual ersonal choice and the !tate should not interfere with same'gender coules who choose to marry. Thirdly, ending discrimination enhances the human sirit and makes all our lives better.
To refute these three reasons why sex marriage should be legal I would say that the truth is even though all of us have a sinful nature it does not mean we will take advantage of the grace of 4od. e made by 4od to glorify 5im and to do of 5is will not to do what we wanted because more of the time what we wanted are not suose to do. Also, the ro says that the y have the right to be married. es, it is right that marriage is a ersonal choice but it does not mean that you are able to be married with your same sex and not considering the laws of 4od about marriage because it is the !acraments of "atrimony so it is sacred and 5oly. The next one is they have said that it is a discrimination art to them if it will not be allowed but not legali(ing the same sex marriage roosal does not mean gays and lesbian are being discriminated it is 9ust their decision is not accetable with 4od and also in the 2hristian country like hiliines that
country. In addition, there are four other reasons why it should not be legali(ed in the hiliines. irst, because 4ay8-esbian marriage violates traditions; !econdly, 4ay8-esbian coules can7t roduce children; thirdly, having a mom and a dad is better for children than having two moms or two dads and the last one is homosexual behavior is immoral and should not be encouraged .
!ame !ex "arriage is marriages comose of either same man or same woman. There are three reasons why they have wanted !ame !ex "arriage will be legal in the hiliines. irst, all have sinned so it is their way to commit it; !econdly, "arriage is a civil liberty; thirdly, to end distinction and to have freedom. It should not be legal because of three reasons; first, we should follow 4od because 5e is our 2reator; secondly, choosing your artner in life should consider 4od
"any eole have their own beliefs and reasoning7s when it comes to 4ay8-esbian "arriage. 4od made a man and woman to 9oin hands together and say vows in the right way but however in some states it is a legal to get married with your same sex. !o, a man is for woman and woman is for man.
Argumentative essay on Same Sex marriage Marriage has been a part of life since before the medieval times. For two people who love each other and plan on spending the rest of their lives together, the natural instinct is to make it legal and get married. This being said same sex marriage has been widely discussed and debated on if it should be legalied or not. !t is discriminating not to allow two people who want to get married "ust because they are homosexual. #egaliing same sex marriage would recognie the American dream of e$ual rights for all. Marriage brings legal rights that protect a couple that if not married, they should not have. %n the other hand, some argue that homosexual marriage may cause disorder to raise a child and disrupt the natural biological procreation of mankind. Marriage is a commitment that two people make to each other in which they share their lives and become like one. &hen the decision is made to be married, neither race nor religion is $uestioned. 'owever, your sexual orientation is. !magine the hardships that a homosexual must overcome throughout their entire life. (rowing up feeling di)erent than the ma"ority of their peers because they feel attracted to the same sex is di*cult. The feeling of ine$uality is already present because at a young age and throughout life, the feeling of being di)erent and not accepted as you are being overbearing. %nce open about their sexuality, not being able to have the same rights as their neighbors, co+workers, family to get married to someone they love and cherish is un"ustiable. !t is everyone-s desire to share their best and worst moments in life with those they love. The issue of a person-s sexual orientation should not be an issue. All men are created e$ual, so the right to marry should also be the same /rumbaugh, 0123. &hen married, certain legal benets are available. 4ot allowing same sex marriage denies a couple to these certain benets. The case in Florida is a perfect example of such benets that are denied. A lesbian couple, of 56 years, was on vacation when one of the women collapsed and was rushed to
the hospital. The other was denied access to visit her dying partner in the hospital because she was not acknowledged like a family member. !f they were able to marry, this would not have been the case. #egaliing same sex marriage would allow each couple to be on the same health plan as well as claim rights to belongings and inheritance. !f married heterosexual couples have these rights, so should homosexual couples /rumbaugh, 0123. !n opposition, it is argued that allowing same sex marriages would change the nature of parenthood. Marriage is seen not only as a commitment of two people, but also as a form of procreation. !t is a known fact that in order to procreate, both a man and woman are needed. !t is disputed that by allowing same sex couples to marry would also allow ...
