I am writing a paper against gay marriage, and I was wondering how I would go about starting it?

My thesis statement is Granting legal marriage rights to gays and lesbians would threaten the stability of the family, a pillar of our society.I am writing a paper against gay marriage, and I was wondering how I would go about starting it?
I wouldn't write it, because there is absolutely no logical argument to be made against gay marriage.





But if you must, Im sure you can research similar papers from the 1960's regarding the threat of interracial marriage. Some same themes in that.I am writing a paper against gay marriage, and I was wondering how I would go about starting it?
I am not sure how you are going to back that statement up. When people marry, they create a family regardless of the gender of the people getting married.


The divorce rate in heterosexual marriages is ~50% as it is (go here:


http://www.divorcerate.org/ ). So maybe heterosexual marriages are a threat to the stability of the family? (I don't mean that, I just want you to think about the whole issue!)


There are tons of things that people have claimed are going threaten the stability of society, but the truth is, those claims are not really based in any real knowledge (think freeing slaves, legalizing interracial marriages, allowing non-whites to drink from the same water fountains as whites, etc.). And things changed anyway, and usually for the better, and the world did not end! The truth is, society adapts, people move on.


Countries and states where homosexual marriage is legal have not experienced any breakdowns in their societies. So, you may want to re-think your thesis based on something you can actually provide actual studies and proof. (look into the Nordic countries, but statistics on gay marriage and divorce can be spotty). Good luck!
gays, lesbians %26amp; bisexual people are just that, people. they have a right to obtain the same legal rights a legal marriage grants to anyone. in what would the stability of the family be a pillar of our society anyways?





if anything threatens the stability of our society it would be rightwing religious morons who want to put their worldview on top of a democratic society.





what one could do though is replace marriage altogether by a legal civil union (compulsory if you'd want to officialize your union) and maybe an optional religious marriage ceremony, once you're legally married and you think you have a soul or something so you'd need to get married according to some religious rite.
Gay marriage doesn't threaten the stability of family. Love never causes instability. Wouldn't forcing gay people into straight marriages (the logical corollary to banning gay marriages) cause more instability in the family as they struggled with denying their true natures?





Doesn't intolerance cause instability in a family rather than tolerance?





Write a thesis worthy of your intelligence: change your thesis's statment to: ';Granting legal marriage rights to gays and lesbians enhances the stability of the family.';





Good luck
Marriage is a commitment between a man and a woman, the earliest description of which is from the Old Testament, of the Judeo-Christian Bible...society has codified the contract, described as early as the relationship of Adam and Eve, although there is no specific evidence of a marriage ceremony, there are specific references to the fact that Eve was made for Adam, and he took her as his wife, and she took him as her husband, as we describe this relationship in the today's terms. God made certain that Adam understood that Eve was made for him, and they were to become one in their relationship. Civil marriage is an attempt to codify this relationship between male and female, this life long commitment to each other. This of course involved sexual intercourse. The only real sexual intercourse is between man and woman. Homosexual intercourse is an abomination to God, is harmful to society in that it removes potentially reproductive members from the breeding pool, and he very clearly illustrates that in God's instructions to the children of Isreal, in the wilderness, that these activities were to result in the death by stoning of the two participants. This family relationship, between man and woman, with the consensual practice of sexual intercourse, will of course, in healthy normal partners, produce offspring, which of course, is the way a society grows, with progeny or children. The most stable situation for children is a family, man and woman, in the home, both taking their respective responsibilities for the upbringing of the family-two men or two women will NOT produce progeny, and contrary to what the liberal/left/humanist will say, the children raised in those situations are not as successful as those in a normal family. Raising children responsibly is the backbone of a successful society. Homosexual relationships do not produce children, although they may go out of the relationship to impregnate a female, or be impregnated by another male, they do not have the personal responsibility of make those children. In addition, they have to do this in a way that is by their own definition, outside of their relationship.


Hopefully this may get you some good starting points to expound upon, and hopefully, not get you in too much trouble...if you are in public school, please be aware that you will be graded down because of the position you have taken is not popular with the public school establishment...good luck.
Why? What does the ';family';, many of which are totally dysfunctional these days, have to do with gay marriage? They are families too. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but I think you've got a thesis that will be very difficult to prove decisively. You'd better google up some research and think about changing the thesis.
Im a huge lesbian douche bag. Ever since I was younger I've been a little curious but Im too afraid to come out, therefore, I choose to write this paper on why gay marriage is wrong. First of all, everyone I hear from tells me it's wrong to they have to be right, right? Secondly, I think keeping two people who love each other from joining together as a family is best because Im a selfish ***** and no one will marry me so I don't want anyone to be happy? Third, Im religious and considering I don't fully understand my religion, I think that they're against gay marriage.
Find a good quote on it.





Describe what you think would be an ideal family to give you the ability to contrast.
In the beginning God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.....Then I would go from there.
