Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration A social contract for a better Union in the United States

1 of 7

beautiful and perfect document so unique to our govenment so many of us have forgot not only the beauty of the words but also their timeless pearls of wisdom. In just the sentence that maintains, and I am paraphrasing, that that in order for us to have a more perfect union there must be justice for all. There is no clause to ... More..

Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues The harm caused when homosexuals stay "in the closet"

2 of 11

CONDEMNATION OF HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE CLOSET It seems to me that in the wake of so many men in high profile positions, including very conservative members of the clergy that have been "outed" as of late, that condemning homosexuality does not work. For this reason I believe it is high time that the phenomenon of "the closet... More..

Writ Marriage, a religious institution? I have difficulty trying to understand why allowing gays to use the term "marriage" rather than "unions" to be such a sticking point. I have heard it often said by people that are opposed to gay marriage; say that marriage is a religious institution. Or using the term marriage will som... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Do human rights exist in the US?

13 of 25

I do believe that the U.S. does have more human rights than many other countries of the world. However there are many countries in Europe that do take this matter more seriously. Many countries allow gays in the military and also consider gays to be a part of the national identity and are not considered a fringe subculture th... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Military (Other) The rights of gays in the US military

13 of 18

Gays in the military It's time everyone uses their god given ability to reason when discussing matters that have to do with equality for all people. The rights for gays to be in the military openly without having to pretend to be something they are not is only one example of that god given right. Society has expected of gay... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues The current issues surrounding gay marriage

31 of 39

GAY MARRIAGE I feel at times I am the only gay person that is not satisfied by the term "civil union". To me it feels like a consolation prize given as a means of pacifying gays. Throw them a few crumbs as they're used to and they'll shut up. Truthfully, I hope that we gay men and woman will not settle for gay unions and go a... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should all government decisions incorporate citizen input?

4 of 5

I do not think it is always a good idea to put every decision up for a public vote. If that were indeed the case who knows when blacks would have achieved civil rights? When it was determined that blacks should have the right to vote and have all of the same civil rights appreciated by whites the majority of American citizens... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Why do some people choose to be ignorant about the lifestyles of others?

9 of 9

The masculinity obsession I believe that many of the issues about the struggle for gay rights runs deeper than just people's religious values. Growing up as a gay man in American society, a male child learns early the greater social and personal value that society places on the more masculine males. It is very clear that ... More..
