Against gay marriage
I am for gay marriage, I have been exposed to a lot homosexuality through my last job with three gay co workers, two of my moms best friends are gay and I have a very close friend that is gay. This is a real. After really seeing both sides of the argument the two points that could potentially convince me focused on the celebration of a man and a woman, two beings that are different in ways that complete each other, ways that benefit both individuals and most of all the children that may come after marriage. Children growing up in a household with a mother and a father. The binding of two individuals, one man and woman with a goal to live a lifetime together, have children, and be in a loving family is something that is very special. Marriage, the union of one man and one woman is sacred and a tradition that should be protected and not corrupted by an unnatural way such as homosexuality. So for my essay I plan on really stressing the benefits of growing up with a mother and a father, and also how natural and fitting one man and one woman sharing a life together verses the unnatural alternative of two men or two women sharing a life together.

Riley,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite phrase here is: "This is real." I'm sorry that it seems that you have been assigned the 'wrong' side of this debate, but I honestly believe that this can still be a good exercise in argumentation. Simply take your own core beliefs, and then try to flip them on their head. Also, look to the resources posted on our webpage to help you initiate various arguments (even ones that you yourself might find a bit repugnant).
