Thesis: As our culture and species adapt and time lapses, adjustments are nade to the constitution to compensate. I believe that same- sex marriage is a legitimate proposal from the LGBT; referring collectively to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual community.
-I speak on this controversial issue as a lesbian. I believe that when the time comes i should have the choice to be married and have the same marital rights of the heterosexual community.
-I am aware that I imply that homosexuals, and heterosexuals are of seperate communities but that is not in fact the case. Random House Dictionary defines community as follows; a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.
-neighbors gay/straight
- why aren’t me and my partner eligible to the marital benefits as a "straight" couple. What makes us any different as the next two heterosexuals in love? Just because we are of the same gender does not mean or normal human emotions of love, affection, and care for someone differs.
- " to have and to hold in sickness and in health till death do us part"
- marriage ceremony
- define commitment
- family
-same sex couples desire a family as well
- conclusion ?

Jackie - This looks good. In you thesis, look to include the other side - that is the context in which you are making the argument. Then address that throughout. Is each line here a new area of support? It looks like some of them might be combined. Will you be addressing the importance of legalizing same-sex "marriage" vs. a civil union and why it is an important difference? I don't that is always clear to people. I look forward to reading the paper. Good job.
ReplyDeleteSo far your arguement is clear and well put. Your personal connection to the issue will definatly help your paper come out very strong.
ReplyDeleteI agree that your personal experience in this matter will definitely strengthen your essay. All of your arguments are clear and can be easily supported. You might want to include more of the opposing arguments, which there are many I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteJackie,
ReplyDeleteThis is a topic that I've been interested in for quite some time. One of my best friends is a lesbian and she has struggled with this thought for as long as I can remember. I think that your paper is going to be well thought out given your personal point of view and experience. I can't wait to see how you respond to the controversy of what’s considered to be right and wrong between different and same sex couples.
i am excited for all of you to read it. it is a very controversial issue and i appreciate your interest. it is a topic that i feel very strongly about.
