Sarah Katz Natasha Edlefsen Leland Curry Kasey Mullen Kiana Khojastehfar Madeline Stocks 01/27/09 Period 1 Marriage for All or Marriage for None? Homosexual marriage is a
controversial topic in California. Many people believe that homosexuals
should not have the right to be married. Yet there are others who argue
that there
should be equal rights for all who
want to be married, gay, lesbian, or straight. To satisfy all parties
involved, homosexuals and heterosexuals, marriage should be completely
abolished
within the United States.
With matrimony gone, the gay
population would be on equal grounds with the straight population in
California, nor would the straight population’s morals be infringed
upon. Judgment
of the gays would be extinguished
along with marriage. Straight people would not be allowed to pass said
judgment about marriage and domestic partnership since it would not
exist
anymore. Complete invalidation of
touching or sexual endeavors would help anyone, gay or straight, in
obeying the Bible to make it fair for the religious individuals. This
would then make
it impossible for a Christian woman to
be naturally fertilized, decreasing the population. With matrimony
being terminated, it would lead to only positive outcomes for the
United States
and the world.
With the abolition of marriage
people will not have to worry about divorces, widowing, the
traumatizing effects on the children, or adultery. By divorce (and
common law) becoming
extinct, separation of the
relationship would be easier since neither party would have to spend
money for lawyer fees, or alimony. Observers find that children of the
divorced parents
become affected by the detachment and
may have problems in years to come. Moreover, the termination of
marriage will prevent children from having to deal with the effects of
divorce.
Without marriage, children will grow
up with the knowledge that it is completely acceptable for their
biological parents to have little personal contact with one another.
If we eliminate
marriage, there is no reason for a
child to grow up with both parents, as traveling to two different homes
can become difficult. In fact separating children from their opposite
sexed parent
might be the right course of action.
If sons lived with their fathers and daughters with their mothers,
correct gender roles will be taught to these children. This will
prepare them for their
roles as productive adults when they
grow up. Thus having no marriage, will prepare future generations for
their roles and correct “places” in society.
Marriage overall is good in
theory, but in practice it does not work well for the United States.
There are too many violent protests, debates, and murders over this
issue, and all of this
madness needs to be stopped. With the
institution of marriage, one, of any race, sexual orientation, or
culture, can breathe freely. There will be no more protests, debates,
etc. Therefore,
there will only be world of love, which has no limits.
