Religion and Homosexuality: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing homosexuality and religion in regards to Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The policies and issues relating to homosexuality vary a great deal throughout different religions. While in some cases, specific references are difficult to find in ancient scriptures and holy text, other references such as in Islam’s Quran and Hadith, seem quite specific as to the opinion of homosexuality and what, if any, punishment should be given. The Jewish and Christian religions both have conservative divisions which forbid homosexual practice and homosexuals’ participation in rituals while at the same time they also have liberal or reformed divisions which recognize homosexuals in regards to equal rights and respect. Hinduism and Buddhism also have varied perspectives within their own religions as while some Hindu researchers cannot find specific references either way, others refer to the Kama Sutra and its devotion of an entire chapter to gay men. Most Buddhist divisions refer to the precepts of Right Conduct but with some differentiation as to the interpretation of “sexual misconduct”. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

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. On the other side of the issue, many people argue that same-sex marriage does not portend the disastrous erosion to the foundations of civilization that conservatives fear. Examination of same-sex marriage, and the issues that surround this topic, is illuminating as to the these two radically opposed positions. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Same Sex Marriage: Differing Viewpoints
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page overview of the issues surrounding gay marriage. This paper contends that as the issue of same sex marriage continues to mature more and more organizations are beginning to yield in favor of allowing for the sentiments of their members. More and more of those members are either gay themselves or supportive of gay rights. At the same time, our legal balances have been in play to make sure that the interests of any one group did not unduly weigh out over those of other groups. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

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.

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.

Same-Sex Parenting: Supportive Position

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.

Sexuality, Gender, Power And Society
[ send me this paper ]
22 pages in length. Termed the battle of the sexes, struggles between the male and female gender have existed since the time of man. Neanderthal populations were segregated by gender no differently than contemporary society is today, with the only appreciable distinction between the two eras being that of a chink in the patriarchal armor that occurred during the twentieth century. Indeed, the issues pertaining to the history of sexuality are grand and far-reaching, having been hashed and rehashed for centuries, only to encompass a new and growing crop of issues such content as homosexuality and gender oppression.

Should Gay And Lesbian Couples Be Allowed To Adopt?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Raising emotionally healthy children requires parents who are compassionate, guiding, interactive, available, responsive and loving. While both men and women possess these characteristics and more necessary for the proper upbringing of children, society is used to the genders being paired as one man and one woman when it comes to assuming the role of parents. Being that these are not gender-specific traits - single men and women alike raise emotionally healthy children with great regularity - it stands to reason how gay and lesbian couples are just as capable of bringing up a child. The extent to which homosexual couples are considered inappropriate role models for adoption is both grand and far-reaching; that gays and lesbians reflect no better or worse a parenting option than their heterosexual counterparts speaks to the need for making this assessment on a case-by-case basis rather than broad-brushing the entire homosexual community.

Should Same-Sex Marriages Be Allowed In The United States
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Marriage is the bringing together of two people who love each other, no matter their gender. Despite what zealots argue, the union of two people is decided upon and carried out by no one other than those individuals; to pass judgment on what love is or how it may be expressed is to see a side of humanity that one would not expected to witness in the twenty-first century. Witch hunts and slavery were cast out of what was allegedly a civilized society only to give way to other issues through the years that mirror the same intense prejudice and undesirable behavior from what is supposed to be an enlightened species. A person's sexual orientation has absolutely no bearing upon the worthiness of marriage - if it did, divorce statistics would support fewer heterosexual unions. The focus needs to be placed upon the loving, devoted nature of the couple to the complete exclusion of any gender consideration. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Should The Baptist Church Allow Same-Sex Marriages
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper. Although the title names the Baptist church, the essay is adaptable to any church or just to the religious dilemma homosexual unions pose to the churches. Following a brief introduction, the writer reports studies that have found a possible biological reason for sexual orientation. At the very least, these genetic factors lead to a predisposition. The writer then reports some of the many examples of the stands different churches/religions have taken and what some are practicing relative to same-sex unions. The results of two recent polls in the U.S. indicate attitudes about validating same-sex marriages are changing. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
