    This article shows how the Libertarian party has very conflicting views regarding same sex marriage. On one hand, same sex marriage corresponds with the Libertarian motto.

Catholics, Condoms, and the Seperation of Church and State - 0 views

  •  
    Article written by Terence Clark. The following quote is an example of the lack of discussion reference premarital sex. According to Clark, apparently the only choice is safe sex or unsafe sex; no sex is not an option. Add to that the last phrase about taking care of them and you have an example of entitlement: "Women's rights and the alarming speed with which the world's population is growing make access to birth control a necessity, not a sin. The Church -- and its supporters in some government circles in Washington -- would have all those children be born willy nilly, yet seem to care very little about supporting them once they are born."

Sex Education in America : NPR - 0 views

  •  
    Based off of statistics the issue is not whether or not sex education is appropriate in schools, but what kind of sex education should be taught. A portion of parents prefer that schools only teach their children strictly about abstinence. Other parents prefer that the school teach a program referred to as "abstinence-plus", which educates students on birth control and abstinence.

Same sex marriage - 0 views

  •  
    This is one of the largest growing controversies in the United States. We have a lot of stubborn and close-minded people in this great nation. We all just need to open our hearts a little and accept these people and try to realize where they are coming from. They just want to be able to be happy like anyone would; and be able to marry the one that they love. People say it goes against tradition, and what marriage is valued as...between a man & woman. There are so many traditions that have been changed or forgotten in this day and age, and I am sure that letting these people marry who they want and where they want, isn't going to lead to something horrible. I think that some of us just need to really be educated and try to feel for these people who just want the opportunity to solidify their love for one another with Marraige.

New York Allows Same-Sex Marriage, Becoming Largest State to Pass Law - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • I apologize for those who feel offended,” Mr. Grisanti said, adding, “I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.

      This statement by Mr. Grisanti, who once opposed same sex marriage, brings forth very valid points; other than their sexual preferences - same sex couples live their lives and abide by the same laws that heterosexual couples do. Why then should gay couples be seen as different under the eyes of the law?

Carnal knowledge: The sex ed debate - 0 views

  •  
    This article debates the tyoe of sex education that should be taught in schools. Should kids only recieve the message of abstinance only? Also taking into consideration of how realistic that is...Or should we be teaching a comprehensive sex education class that covers sexually transmitted diseases, contraception, and Abstinence? Young people are exposed more and more and are confronted with the idea and practice of sex. I think its more realistic to teach more than just abstinence.

Marriage for Same-Sex Couples | American Civil Liberties Union - 1 views

    Under equal protection, same sex couples should have the freedom and support to marry their loved ones. Religious faiths that are opposed to the idea are free to not support the couples. Under DOMA each state was given the right to define marriage.

    Provisions of DOMA were recently struck down which gave same sex couples equal protection under federal laws. A recent development that's getting little attention is churches are changing their bylaws to protect themselves from lawsuits by the LGBT community. The bylaws are taking up where DOMA was struck down, declaring the church only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman.
