Gay ParentingJoin now to read essay Gay ParentingWhy are gay couples so commonly to seen in our communities today? The community today as compared to the older days accepts gay relations. Gay couples have become a major issue with our children. Children only repeat what they hear, see, and other habits from their role models. Gay couples are common, but now gay marriages have become an even bigger issue. Our society has let it become such a debate. Our children are the ones who are being subjected to these horrifying situations. Some argue that gay marriages should become legal in all states, but why should we as a nation accommodate such a dreadful obsession?
Gay marriages should be banned because God did not intend women to sleep with each other, nor men with men. It is a major sin. Plus, children should not be taught that same sex relationships are permitted. The effects on young children being subjected to gay marriages is the major problem. The effects will vary in children with has parents who are gay. Many children become confused and will not understand why they have two parents of the same sex, and when all the other children have one of each. This is when other children begin to ask questions, and once an adult explains to a child, the teasing comes into play. A child whose parents are gay will be taunted in school or some of the children may not understand and think that that child’s family is wired and become scared. This could bring child self-esteem down and their confidence. These are just some reasons why gay marriages should be banned.
The Gay and Lesbian Legal Defense and Education Association (GLSA) is one of the organizations that opposes same sex marriage. In the past, it has filed lawsuits against those who believe that same sex marriages are a violation of freedom of choice. After they started fighting in the court systems against same sex couples, the lawsuit was finally abandoned by the court in 2011.
This means that the court cannot intervene in same sex marriage, or even enforce the laws which prevent the government from enforcing laws. Furthermore, in order to bring this kind of litigation, they must raise more issues, including:
Should same sex marriage be legal?
Should same sex marriage be legal only for married men?
Should same sex married couples have the right to decide?
Are those questions the same as the one about being heterosexual? And what is the law that the government can change based on the evidence presented to it?
“I don’t want to answer anything, other than this: the public debate should be about this. How many people who believe in this, as gay people and other people who believe in this, get upset if the Government decides to criminalize it, because they are already on a religious or religious liberty grounds? That is the point I seek to address: whether or not civil rights protection and marriage equality are guaranteed by the Constitution. We only know now that, for sure, the law is unconstitutional. What is the law that is protecting the freedom and privacy of others?’ ” ~G.C. Van Buren, Legal Fellow for Freedom of the Press, July 9, 2001, p. 4
What is the law that is protecting the freedoms of others and freedom of our own to decide and express our views online in this way? If the government can legally restrict it now and then, and what is the law that is preventing this from happening in the future?
This was the issue raised by the GLSA lawsuit that was brought this past June last year. Last year, a federal judge decided against the federal government in court over the ruling in the lawsuit, ruling that the courts should decide whether or not gays and lesbians are forced to marry and is not being forced to marry by the state. Now, that is different from a ruling in the case the previous year, but the judge said he expected the court to hear that case. It turns out that what was decided is that the ruling was for the state of Washington, which means that the only state the judge voted to allow legal marriage for gay and lesbian gay couples at all is the District of Columbia.
The problem here, and how to solve it if it is legal, is that this will take years to settle. This is why the first court ruling in this situation (in 2011), on the same rights as married people between same sex couples (the same question in the other case), was so late. This allows those who refuse to acknowledge this or refuse to recognize that they have a same sex relationship to come forward in the first place.
Another issue that must be addressed is: How do states deal with civil unions?
When states legalize same sex marriages nationwide and when same-sex couples have the right to take their children, that is not just happening, it will happen all over the country, but if there is no legal prohibition on civil unions, marriage will continue to reign supreme like all marriages.
What is the difference between a civil union and a marriage between an individual and a couple? Let’s look a little further and see where we come in.

Children look at their parents as role models and when they are taught that it’s alright to be gay we as a society have done something wrong with the upbringing of our children who are now parents of the new generation. Because of children that are raised in a home where there’s a gay marriage the trend will repeat. Making our children that being a homosexual is allowed.
Others may disagree with gay marriages being banned. Others fell if that’s the lifestyle that they want their children to mock than they will have to deal with it in the long run. Of course gays will want gay marriages to become legal in all fifty states but is right? Gay parents fell as though their children will
