Gay Marriage in the World Currently there are 11 countries where same-sex marriage is legal The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, Argentina, and Uruguay

States 12 states have recognized and legalized gay marriage including the District of Columbia 30 states prohibit same-sex marriage in their constitutions The Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 prevented the govt. from recognizing same sex-marriages

Statistics California legalized gay marriage for 142 before prop. 8 passed 18,000 same-sex couples in those got married 49% of the nation is for same-sex marriage 44% opposed 7% undecided

Opposed Is a sin (in most religions) Can lead to polygamy Confuse children about gender roles Weaken the institution of marriage

For Separation of church and state Marriage benefits It does not hurt anyone Are no specific gender roles in American society Increase in adoption

For vs. Against

Our Solution

Age Gap 44% of senior citizens support gay marriage 81% of adults under 30 support gay marriage Growing support with newer generations

What We Should Do Pass legislation giving same-sex couples rights like married couples. i.e. medical and tax We should WAIT to pass gay marriage legislation It should be a slow process so more people can start accepting it Drastic changes in society hardly goes well (prohibition) Younger generations will become 18 adding more support for gay rights
