Gay parents are facing discrimination because of their sexual orientation. Twenty-two states currently allow single gays to adopt and 21 states currently allow gay and lesbian couples to adopt in the U.S. (Mallon‚ 2007‚ p. 6). The ability of gay couples to rear a child should not be denied only because they are gay. Homosexuals may be looked down upon by society‚ but they still are humans and have morals. These morals they possess‚ may influence a child more than those morals taught to a child with

time to do our homework on this matter. Before we choose to support or oppose the growing “LGBT” movement shouldn’t we arm ourselves with as much information as possible? Is homosexuality genetic‚ or does it start in the home? Although I did not find conclusive evidence to support genetics or nurture as the cause of homosexuality‚ I do feel there is enough logical theory to dismiss the “Gay Gene” as the cause of homosexual behavior. Research on this subject was hard to find‚ but I was able to gather

Monroe Gay Rights “I’m a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid‚ I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people‚ what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that it is irrelevant.”- Paul Newman‚ an actor who gave his thoughts on the gay rights movement.

But you’re denied this opportunity by the government; same sex marriage is illegal in Australia. The bill that my party would like to put forward is to legalize same sex marriage. In my opinion‚ same sex marriage would be a great opportunity for social progress. Two people who love each other should be able to publicly celebrate their commitment.

Students are stressed out enough with trying to be that perfect body they see in the magazines. School shouldn’t add onto that‚ school should be a comfortable and fun learning environment for kids. In China‚ failing is not an option. You must attend school 260 days a year and if you con not‚ a parent steps in place to take notes for you. That is no way to live

Shakespeare play is a common sight in secondary schools across the country. The government say that all teenagers should be taught Shakespeare and knowledge of at least two plays is examined through the Key Stage Three SATs and GCSE English exam. Why is this? Is it really necessary to study the writing of a man who was alive over four hundred years ago? Would today’s teenagers miss out if they left school without any awareness of Shakespeare’s plays? The answer to that is no. Students associate

The history of the gay rights movement goes as far back as the late 19th century. More accurately‚ the quest by gays to search out others like themselves and foster a feeling of identity has been around since then. It is an innovative movement that seeks to change existing norms and gain acceptance within our culture.

I believe that we should allow same-sex marriage because banning it is unfair‚ love is all that matters in marriage‚ and gay families have certain family values that some straight marriages lack. Banning an issue doesn’t make it go away. The American Constitution states that everyone desverves the same‚ equal rights -- that inlcludes gay people. So banning

Gay Option In the article “The Gay Option”‚ Stephanie Fairyngton argues that it is wrong to think about homosexuality as deviations from nature’s norm. She understands that it is easy for people to think about homosexuality as an illness rather than a person’s choice. The main reason for this is that it is hard to understand people who choose this challenging state of beings. Because society has a stereotype of heterosexuality as somehow better choice than homosexuality‚ they would think that person
