Supported by a majority of Americans. Although there are still some states where a man or women can be fired from a job solely because of their sexual orientation.

7. Benefits
Legalization of Gay Marriage would have several benefits such as: ~Increased Adoption Rate – Since it is impossible for procreation the adoption rate would rise if couples were desiring children. ~Financial Benefits- Taxes are higher while single then when with a spouse. Deductions can be made from taxes for house payments or children as well. ~Medical Decision Priority- When one person becomes ill the spouse is often turned to for making decisions. ~Insurance – Marriage or family benefits apply to house, car and health insurance rates.

9. ~Gay marriage is protected by the Constitution's commitments to liberty and equality. ~If marriage is about reproduction, then infertile couples would not be allowed to marry. ~It would diminish teen suicide less children would be scared at the thought of coming out and would feel comfortable with themselves.

10. Opposing arguments

15. I chose to do my presentation on Gay Marriage because it something I am passionate about and means a lot to me. I have personally seen my friend grow up with the difficulties of having to come out to friends and family. And deal with the judgment of who he happens to be attracted to. I hope one day it will no longer bean issue to discuss and people of all races and genders have the option to marry who they love.
