I think I should learn more about the present situation of gay people, their current problems they are facing now, the efforts that can done in the society to accept the fact about such population and to start to treat them equally. Even after such progess,people still have those narrow thinking about gay people. As I believe that America being the land of freedom, people`s desire of sexuality should not be restricted by any laws. These people also should be given equal health benefits and other benefits as other spouses in the land of America. I assumed that even if same sex marriages bills were passed in some other states. Still they are totally deprieved of all the facilities, which should should be granted to a married spouses. I heard that even anything wrong happens to anyone, then the other spouse will lose the right to take action on the behalf of other spouse then their family member will take power from that spouse and can deprived him/her to take care of their spouses. I learned about of this from a video where there were two men married to eachother and said that they are happy now but if any of them went sick or something wrong happened then both of them willl be separated and they will lose their power to decide any action for the betterment. No matter how open we have been thinking but when it comes in the topic of LGBT any intellect will stop for a wile and try to think twice before they speak. Since whole the society is against of this population, I might not find alot of resources about these topic and most of the readers will not be satisfied from my viewpoints.

Hi Anu,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post about gay people and same-sex marriage. The legal status of gay couples, and their rights as spouses, varies from state to state. As the federal government still does not recognize same-sex marriage, there are some things that gay couples still cannot do in any state (for example, file as married on their federal income tax, or claim a spouse as a dependent, or receive federal benefits if one spouse passes away).
Believe it or not, I think you might be pleasantly surprised to find a lot of newspaper articles addressing this topic, from all different viewpoints--gay and straight, liberal and conservative, etc.. It's a great topic to pursue for the Alternative Viewpoints paper because of that. Please let me know if you need any assistance during your research process!
Sincerely,
Professor Wexelbaum
