Should Gay Marriage Be Acceptable?

In my previous post, I discussed how gay marriage should be acceptable and nobody should deny that right. There have been many questions regarding that issue Some of the questions were:

1)If homosexual couples aren’t Christians is it okay for them to get married since they don’t have the same beliefs as Christians?


2) Why do we have freedom of religion if we just want everyone to conform to what we believe.


3)Yes, the constitution states that marriage is between a man and a woman , but are the people allowed to change the constitution?

To answer these questions, I'll simply state that if homosexuals are or aren't Christians, it isn't up to us individuals to judge their sexual preference. What they choose to do is simply up to them. Humans may believe that being gay and married is sinful, but the couple may not view our beliefs the same. As citizens of our nation, we do have a right to express freedom of religion. Personally, sexual preferences does not bother me. If someone was gay, I wouldnt bother them or try to comform them into what I believe- that's their religion, their freedom.



Also, as I mentioned on my prior post, yes, our people are allowed to change the constitution. Well, due to the fact that it has been changed 27 times already (only 17 recorded changes). We change, or alter the constitutin to better the eeds of the individuals in our country.


Society, has constructed what seems to be the ideal family of a man, woman, and child. It is more and more common to see same-sex couples. The child is usually from a past relationship or adoption. Not many people acknowledge the fact that the adoption rates will rise due to gay marriage, but it's a true fact.

Effects on Children With Gay/Lesbian Parents

Healthy children are the product of healthy parents, right? Although most say, “yes,” we all know that there is a silent, yet known disclaimer regarding the parents that are raising these children. The disclaimer states that whatever is witness through out life that homosexual parents are not suitable people to be raising children. While keeping that in mind, what makes a healthy parent or better yet what makes a healthy child? I believe that in many eyes the definition of healthy differ from one family to the next. Identifying what is healthy within a family is much harder than pointing out what we as individuals view as negative or lack of a better word unhealthy.

Through out my research, children with homosexual parents do no worse and in some cases better with life developments in comparison with children with heterosexual parents. These data is so outstanding in nature that the researchers have begun studying the parents themselves, BEFORE they where actually parents, to distinguish if they are actually going to be “good” parents. A psychologist by the name of Paul Cameron who strongly opposes gay parenting states within the article, “Gay Parents Good for Children?” that homosexual parent do not do well because they have more partner changes, more drug abuse, and more history of missing work. All of these issues work together to make a homosexual parent less suitable. Ok, folks side let’s take a minute to discuss these points. A homosexual person having more partner changes than a heterosexual person? This is simply ludicrous, because I can do a survey on the Valdosta State campus and prove that the partner changes are somewhat equal between homosexual and heterosexuals. Regarding the issue of homosexuals having more drug abuse than heterosexuals, I am almost positive drugs do not discriminate and pick and chose their users. The more history of missing work is almost laughable. If anyone reading this has children think back to when you didn’t have children work was far less important then, am I right? It does not matter if you are gay or straight when you have no “real” responsibilities going to the beach with friends is way more fun than working at a job that you absolutely hate and do not necessarily need. His opinions are taken seriously though and was even published in a journal, but I can I point out that the Psychological Reports is a journal, in which authors have to be pay to be published in. Do I have to mention the Psychological Reports is the journal that Cameron was published in? I’m sure you picked that up.

The psychologist above viewed negative or unhealthy behavior as frequent partner changes, drug addiction, and job-hopping as characteristics of homosexual activity, and this results in lack of parental competence. I view this as negative and unhealthy behavior for most people that are young and inexperienced. Also, I believe many people will agree that being young and inexperienced does not exclude you from doing anything including being a parent. Live life, make mistakes, and gain respect, then if you so fancy have children. It’s the best and healthiest feeling the in world.

Dream Weddings for Everyone

Girls. Imagine your dream wedding. Are you in a beautiful white ball gown or in a sparkly A-line gown? Are you in a church with your closest friends and family or are you on the beach with every person that you know? Are you marrying the man of your dreams?

Men. Imagine yours. Is your best friend your best man? Maybe it is your little brother? Are you still a little drunk from the party the night before? Are you marrying the woman of your dreams?

Why does it seem that only heterosexual people can have their dream weddings? What about the homosexuals? Shouldn’t they deserve their dream weddings also? Because, it ruins the idea of the American family or it’s amoral? Well luckily for homosexuals, the idea of same-sex marriage is becoming more popular.
Sadly, as of right now there are only five states and one district (Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and DC) recognizes same-sex marriage. These married couples even receive state-level benifits.
Stanton Peele predicts that republicans will eventually accept same-sex marriage because the support is rising every month. In his article The Last Gay-Bashing Campaign?, he starts off with how former president George Bush’s last campaign it effected Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. After the campaign Romney established himself as a major anti-gay voice. Even though the state’s Supreme Court decided to allow gay marriage, Romney tried to pass an amendment to ban it. Of course this amendment wasn’t passed.
I’m sure even if Romney’s amendment was passed it would have ended like it did in California. Even though they passed a law legalizing same-sex marriage in 2008, they banned it again at the end of the year. Now, finally, the Supreme Court says the ban was unconstitutional and overturned it. “California ‘has no interest in differentiating between same-sex and opposite-sex unions.’”
If California could the role model for the rest of the states against gay marriage, that little girl can have her dream princess wedding in a church with the girl that she loves and the little boy who had always dreamt of marrying the man he loves on the beach can do so.

Should Gay Marriage Be Acceptable?

Usually, families consist of a male,

female, and a child. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more common to see same-sex marriages surround society. Homosexual marriages are becoming increasingly acceptable. Many people believe that gay marriage is wrongful or considered a sin, but many also believe that marriage should be a sacred commitment between two individuals who are in love. Nobody should be denied the right to wed based on sexual orientation. Individuals, based on some scientific research studies, are born gay and can't help the way they are. Others choose to be homosexual, which is their way of living, which should be acceptable. Then again, most gays are determined by a hormonal switch! Nobody wakes up one morning saying, "hey I'm going to be gay and be discriminated against." It's something in their hormones that tell them to behave they way they do. Nobody should refuse the right to wed, no matter gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual preference. Denying homosexuals their right to wed is minority or reversed discrimination.

Gay marriage has it's advantages and benefits. The number of adoptions would increase dramatically, reducing the number of foster kids and orphans. This is a good look because many male-female households have children out of wedlock and there are many teenagers who have kids and neglect them. Gay couples seem to have a genuine commitment to raising a loving family because they cant produce with one another. Gay marriage should be allowed mainly for the aforementioned reason. God's intention of marriage was supposed to be between a male and a female. Really, marriage should be between two lovers, regardless of sexual preference. . . as long as it isn't between objects! P.S: Love Makes the World Go Around.
