Individuals
who are attracted to those of their same gender should be given equal rights.
If same gender marriage was legalized nationally, homosexual partners would be
able to enjoy tax and employee benefits which heterosexual couples already
have. The attitude toward same gender couples makes it difficult for many of
them to function comfortably in society. Laws that allowed them to be married
would hopefully reduce the prejudice and persecution they experience. According
to Lauder and Lauder, “The bulk of research… shows minor or no differences
between children raised in heterosexual families versus those raised in
same-sex families (Lauder, 49).” Therefore same gender couples should be able
to adopt children.
Comment on Opposing View:
The above mentioned research that was conducted was inaccurate due to
variables within the study.
