While reading your opinion and debate on same-sex marriage, I found myself agreeing with many of the points that you included in your discussion. To begin with, I also chose to react to the same articles, by Rauch and Gallagher.

“Marriage is between a spouse and a spouse, not gender by gender.” Homosexual marriage should be legalized because it will benefit not just the LGBT Community but also our society. Making homosexual marriage legal will not harm the institution of marriage.

I’ll start at the beginning. I remember being about 16 years old. I always knew I liked men romantically, I’ve known since the age of five. At 16, I did what every other young black gay boy has done in the city of Philadelphia, if not the entire world. I told the world, “I’m Bisexual”. This was the general answer I gave people
The gay liberation movement and the gay LGBT rights movement are two movements that have their own differences and distinctions. In the 1960’s the gay liberation movement focused on “legal and social tolerance for lesbians and gay men to a more radical politics that sought to challenge a dominant cultural norms as oppressive” (Bernstein & Taylor 8).

analysing of several Bible verses about homosexuality. The film attempts to alter the minds of homophobics by using facts, science and several interviews with Christians who also have gay children.

girlfriend addresses her as a lesbian despite being clearly attracted to both boys and girls. Her sexuality became an ongoing joke, and only further emphasized the inaccurate assumption that bisexuality is a myth. Even an outed gay male on the show mentioned bisexuality as “a term that gay guys use when they wanna hold hands with girls and feel like a normal persona.” This nonchalant dismissal of a sexual orientation falls under a term known as bi-erasure, defined by Alexandra Bolles, a Strategist, Global
