There are news reports from across America telling about.
how a gay person was beaten or killed just because they were looked at as different. .
Some of these people would end up the target of verbal abuse and maybe even physical.
abuse, just because some heterosexual people see them as different.
There are also some very silly arguments that should be discarded immediately. .
One of these arguments is that marriage is traditionally a heterosexual institution. Making.
love to another man takes away everything that is masculine about you also is said to be a.
reason against homosexual people. Another argument that is not very valid is that same.
sex marriage would start us down a "slippery slope" towards legalized incest, bestial.
marriage, polygamy and all other kinds of horrible consequences (Bidstrup 2-3). These.
arguments are absurd to even consider as legitimate arguments from intelligent people. .
According to the United States Constitution, every individual has the right to the.
pursuit of happiness, and the Supreme Court has stated that marriage is essential to the.
orderly pursuit of happiness (Stoddard 492). The federal government's statement clearly.
contradict that state laws that are now in effect. You hear the saying, "America is the.
home of land, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Along with the pursuit of happiness.
being infringed on, the individual's liberty is also somewhat taken away. Many people.
come to America because it's the "Home of the Free." This is a freedom that is being.
taken away from these couples. If America were a truly free country, these couples would.
be allowed to marry without any complications. .
It is obvious that homosexuals are not being treated fairly. By prohibiting gay.
marriages, homosexuals are put at economic, legal, and personal disadvantages. In fact,.
gay rights activists have cited over 300 benefits that gay couples are not permitted to.
enjoy (The Case 1).
