Same Sex Marriage
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper that offers an overview of the "gay" marriage debate. In his 2005 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush, again, reiterated his endorsement of an Amendment to the Constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage.

Same Sex Marriages in North Dakota
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. The highly controversial subject of legalizing same sex marriage in each of the states is garnering more and more attention in the legislature. With some states legalizing it and then repealing it, this issue is proven to still be a complicated and controversial issue with no easy answer. While each state has it's own determination on whether or not same sex marriages should be recognized, North Dakota, like most other states, currently does not view a same sex marriage as a legal union.

Same-Sex Marriage -- Issues and Case Law
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses legislation and court decisions prohibiting or supporting same-sex marriages. Those who want to make their legal point in favor of the legality of same-sex marriages point to the fact that banning same-sex marriage is fundamentally discriminatory. Their opponents make their objections based on the belief that marriage is about procreation and that same-sex marriages would actually add to taxpayer burden since gay couples would be eligible for federal benefits and tax breaks. However, one of the strongest points made by those opposed to such unions is that one state court (or even several) should not dictate marriage laws for the entire nation. Various case law related to the issue are briefly examined -- Baehr vs. Lewin, Bowers v. Hardwick, Romer v. Evans, Loving v. Virginia, and Stan Baker et al. vs. State of Vermont. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Same-Sex Marriage: Redefining Love
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The twenty-first century global society does not have enough to focus upon while in the midst of politically upheaval besides something that by all rights should concern no one other than the two people involved. The ever-present debate over same-sex marriage illustrates how contemporary social perspectives are not as progressive as many claim they are, but rather reflect a level of judgment and intolerance akin to witch hunts and slavery. To presume same-sex marriage indicates anything other than the desire of two people to legally demonstrate their love is to redefine love upon the myopic basis of what does or does not exist between one's legs, reflecting a perverse - if not wholly erroneous - connection to constitutional rights that simply cannot be validated. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Same-Sex Parenting: Supportive Position
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. Parenting, even under the best circumstances, is a challenging proposition no matter who is undertaking the task. The extent to which children need such aspects as compassion, discipline, love and interaction in order to grow into healthy, well-rounded individuals is both grand and far-reaching; that heterosexual couples claim to be the only pairing from which these characteristics emanate speaks to the blatant disregard for how all human beings - no matter sexual orientation - possess these childrearing traits.
