I did a project in high school about gay marriage so I feel I can relate to this article very well. Normally, I see myself for gay marriage. I feel if two people love each other, they should be together. Who are we to say someone can’t be with the person they love? Plus, people need the benefits of marriage. I didn’t really understand where Jackie was going with her article before I figured out she was gay, then I realized why she was analyzing wedding so closely. I think it was good that she had a “wedding” for her close friends and family. In different relationships such as these, the more normal things remain, the better.
One thing I am not sure of is adopting children. I have read studies that say children come out just fine and are not changed at all. Them being raised gay is a myth. I don’t think gay parents would want their children to grow up without a choice. There are plenty of places that a child can grow up that would be detrimental to their health, but a same sex parent family is not one of them. If they were loved and in a stable household they could easily grow up to be a great member of society. Jackie does speak about this when she says she believes a same sex family would be better off raising a child than a family that is fighting or breaking up.
1. What are your thoughts on same sex marriage?
2. Do you think same sex children will turn out the same as other children?
