Marriage in America

The Conservative Case for Gay Marriage

This article is about people being able to marry someone of the same sex. Some people couldn’t believe that this guy was involved in challenging a traditional marriage. He wanted to create a new constitutional right. That people of the same sex should be able to get married if they want to. Everyone has different viewpoints on gay marriages. Our constitution is supposed to protect our fundamental rights. It was said in the Declaration of Independence "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." In 1857 the Supreme Court said that African Americans couldn’t be citizens. Abraham Lincoln reminded everyone that "our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." It has taken our Nation a while to treat everyone equally. Marriage is one of the most fundamental rights we have as an American under the constitution. The Supreme Court has said that marriage is a part of the Constitution's protections of liberty, privacy, freedom of association, and spiritual identification. In short, the right to marry helps us to define ourselves and our place in a community. Without it, there can be no true equality under the law.

Are fathers necessary?

No matter what kind of man you are, every man can take pride in being a father. Fathers are very important in a child’s life role models or teachers for the kids. Obama reeled off that kids that grow up without dads are 5 times as likely to live in poverty and commit crime, 9 times as likely to fail out of school, and 20 times as likely to end up in prison.
