WHY I OPPOSED GAY MARRIAGE - BY A GAY MAN - 0 views

  •  
    My fascination for this article is in the title itself. It talks about gay rights from a gay man's viewpoint. Plus, it highly reinforces the benefits of gays being in a relationship.

Crossing the Line: Is Gay Marriage Really About Civil Rights? - 0 views

  •  
    I really liked this article because: 1) It has a picture used in my presentation 2) It addresses issues that I found absolutely fascinating, such as the fact that Obama endorsing gay marriage is causing black leaders to oppose the black, Christian church.

Brad Pitt's Mother Jane Writes Anti-Gay Marriage, Pro-Romney Letter To Missouri Newspaper - 0 views

  •  
    I found this article interesting because not only does it support the conservative, anti-gay rights side of my research, but also because it revolves around the opinions of a celebrity's relative. I feel it's important to discuss both sides of the story so the audience will be compelled to think for themselves.

    Mr. Spriggs is the last of my human resources. His title is "Senior Fellow for Policy Studies" on the FRC, or Family Research Council. In contrast to Mr. Sears and Mr. Buseck, his research and advocacy is against gay rights.

Same-sex marriage - 0 views

  •  
    This article is practically the foundation of my research and without it, my research would be nothing. Some compelling facts in it are that the Ancient Roman Emperor Nero was known to have married at least two men in his lifetime and and Ancient Native Americans who entered same-sex relationships were revered and even considered holy.

History of same-sex unions - 0 views

  •  
    Through this article, I was able to find information that I will be using in my presentation. Some facts I found compelling were that the Ancient Roman Emperor Nero married at least two men in his lifetime and in Ancient Native America, same-sex unions were revered and even considered holy in many different tribes.

Defense of Marriage Act - 0 views

  •  
    This article is vital to my research because it describes the Defense of Marriage Act in an as much detailed and unbiased manner as possible. The Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders have deemed this act unconstitutional because it denies homosexual, married couples federal benefits.

The "Gill" Question - 0 views

  •  
    This article is helpful to my research because it tells that President Obama is the first American president to endorse same-sex marriage and by the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), declares the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional because it denies same-sex married couples federal benefits. DOMA was enacted in September 1996 by President Clinton that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman.
