Chapter 1 - Gay Rights

Gay Marriage.[br]
[br]
What it is? When two people of the same sex get married[br]
[br]
Prop 8 - calafornian vote on gay marriage.[br]
Yes on 8. Well basically this was a vote that said vote yes if you want to stop gay marriage. they basically said that people who are gay should be denied marriage because legally marriage is between a man and a women. they said that domestic relationships is enough. one of the arguments they used for this was that people were going to tech about gay marriage in schools.[br]
[br]
Actual meaning of gay. Gay means Happy. Why would something so terrible have such a good meaning?[br]
[br]
What stopping gay marriage does; [br]
- discrimination, by saying that gay people cant marry each other you are discriminating. you wouldn't say and asian can not marry a new-zealander or that an indian can not marry an american, would you? [br]
- sexism, no one gets to choose what sex they are born as. its not fair to judge people on what there genetalia is. its not their fault who they are.[br]
- basic human rights, isnt one of the great things about living in a society like ours the choice of freedom? If people don't allow gay marriage, your taking those peoples rights away. how would you like it if the one thing you loved was out of your reach because a few people who dont even know you and have no connection with you decide its wrong and that you cant do it. I think abortions wrong, but each to their own. if it doesnt effect you in anyway, then why does it matter? a [br]
- bigot is a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion. that is close mindedness. you may believe in something but no one should have someone elses opinion forced on them.[br]
- homophobic, a person who is affraid of homosexual people.[br]
[br]
[br]
What you are taking away from them;[br]
- Equal rights, by saying no to gay marriage you are taking away a persons rights to marry someone they love. A domestic relationship and marriage isnt the same thing. marriage has a lot more rights then a domestic relationship and doesn't everyone have the right to marry who they love? By saying no, you are saying no to children and orphans going to a loving family who cant have children of their own and will not take a child for granted. By saying no you stop these children going to homes. You make the perportion of eligable parents for these children a whole lot smaller. These children are missing out on over 8.8 million parents in the U.S. alone. The right to be legally classified as a marriage instead of being classified as single.[br]
- Choice, by saying no to gay marriage you are removing someones right that our society tells us that everyone gets. you are running someone elses life. And even leading them to the last thing they can control, their life. Someone killing themself becuase of a choice someone took from them is murder. And murder is a crime and a sin.[br]
- Happyness, would you be happy if someone who has no connection to you at all had the power to take away your right to marry your spouse, to have a formal confession of the permanance and love they wish to share with a person? would you be happy if because someone else says no, you cant adopt that child that your heart has been longing for? would you be happy if someone else was given the right to control how you live?[br]
[br]
[br]
What people are saying no?[br]
- Fear, one of the only reason people say no. becuase its something different. would you fear someone because they are black, white, cathlic, gothic, an actor, an artist?[br]
- Because its against religion. the bible says men who lie with men do not inherit the lords kingdom. why would you base taking over someones life with something that could possibly be incorrect? why would you destroy someones life by forcing your opinion on them?[br]
- Because we dont want the children taught about gay rights in school. Do they teach straight rights in school? If on the off chance that they would teach gay rights, would that be so bad? wouldnt it make the world a little bit better if children were brought up in a tollerant and accepting world? [br]
[br]
If you want to say no to gay marriage and gay rights, you should say no to people leaving class to pray becuase of their religion. People of different races sharing the same class room, toilets, shops, schools. People being sepperated becuase of their sex. If you say no, then your making our society, our world take a deverstating step backwards. Would you prefer to go back to an intollerent world once more?[br]
