Homosexuality and Gay Marriage
Argumentative Essay on "Societal Suicide" (gay rights)
Liberty and Justice for All? Or Just Straights?!
If there is anything that gets me riled up and ready to debate, it’s the controversial topic of gay rights and those who appose them. In Charles Colson and Anne Morse’s essay opposing gay marriage, “Societal Suicide,” they express that marriage should be seen as a “traditional building block of human society.” It goes on to explain their tired and bias conclusion that marriage is a bond that should only be between a man and a woman. At the same time, they question the extinction of marriage because of same-sex couple’s oppressed desire to happily marry each other. How is making it legal for supporters of marriage and gay people in love to express their bond considered the end of marriage? Allowing gays to marry would not only promote marriage, but it would support the obvious right and humane decision to care for every citizen with liberty and justice for ALL! “Societal Suicide” explains that gay marriage is not only wrong, but goes against the natural order of the family system, as well as promotes “broken families” and crime amongst young people without mothers or fathers, all the while, weakening the meaning and status of heterosexual marriage. I do not believe in any reason for keeping people from being who they are if there is no harm being done to others. Gay marriage should absolutely be legalized because we all deserve equal rights regardless of skin color, religion, ethnicity, occupation, or sexuality.
In the beginning of their essay, Colson and Morse explained how the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts decided to begin letting same-sex couples into holy matrimony by issuing valid marriage licenses. They describe the thousands of gay couples rushing to embrace the joyful first-in-a-lifetime event as “gleefully mocking their state constitutions and laws” while “news media egged them on.” First of all, I’d more consider that a life long awaited
