Gay liberalism began s slow climb to the ascenncy of Constutnal rights and regnn, fdg partners rporatns and el who smelled an say way to add rabow to their ranks whout sacrificg their hold on om Call Me By Your NameAt the re of Sullivan’s argument is that marriage should be a goal to fix the crisis of HIV/AIDs and the social solatn left.
The only e of “Gay Lonels” or the lack of “social hn” queer life is road to legal same-sex marriage the US was hard fought and won by activists om a variety of backgrounds, but this reform was sentially trickle-down liberatn wh the false notn that homophobia and heterosexism would disappear wh equal marriage laws. For all of this emotn though, El and Oliver never have to ll to acunt for their behavr by a reactnary society or prott of the Gay Liberatn Front New York CyThis is important for the journeys of the characters bee El is growg up and I would argue Oliver is leechg off that nocence.

I e at this om a variety of viewpots, but one of the viewpots I do e om is fely a nservative one, and I believe that the abily to tegrate homosexual cizens and fay members to their own society and to their own fai is an absolutely cril moral challenge for this generatn and for future on. I’m one of those people who don’t believe that human begs should be rdoned off to certa tegori by their inty, whether be black or female or Lato or Jewish or gay or any of the other appellatns that we have managed to brg to this plited bate about inty.
HOW GAY MARRIAGE BEME A CONSTUTNAL RIGHT
The road to full marriage equaly for same-sex upl the Uned Stat was paved wh setbacks and victori. The landmark 2015 Supreme Court se Obergefell v. Hodg ma gay marriage legal throughout the untry. * sullivan argues that gay marriage should be legal because *
I thk, general, that so far as we possibly n, we should treat people as dividuals, regardls of their attribut, regardls of their inti, and that our entire polil system tradnally has sisted upon treatg people as dividuals before we treat them as gay people. ” The people are people who start every sentence wh the word “As-a, ” as “As a gay person I’d like to say, ” “As a black lbian disabled person, I’d like to say, ” “As a whe male I’d like” – Well, as a human beg, I believe that all human begs are ma the image of God, and, as cizens, serve simply the same treatment om their own ernment that every other cizen mands and assum. There are some who argue that marriage alone is the exceptn to all the general prcipl bee marriage is about procreatn, and, by fn, homosexuals, or two homosexuals, whether they be two women or two men, nnot procreate and therefore are barred om marriage.
SHOULD GAY MARRIAGE BE LEGAL?
A pneerg advote of gay marriage rponds to the Supreme Court’s historic lg. * sullivan argues that gay marriage should be legal because *
So the answer is simply we mand bee is ours, jt as Ain-Amerins mand equal cizenship bee was their untry, too, jt as those gay people who are out there on the ont l the ary servg their untry serve to be ngratulated and honored, not discharged and smeared and attacked when they e home, for dog somethg that we should all be very proud of. I n’t say anythg about the ternal bat wh the gay muny about what the objective of the movement ought to be, but do seem to me that even if there’s jt one person – uld be Andrew Sullivan – who wish to marry and would or has chosen someone of the same sex to be spoe, well, then the law ought to regnize that if, fact or tth, is possible, if that is a marriage.
Now, at some pot our culture, most people, given the fact that more and more people know gay people and more and more people know exactly who we are, that discrepancy of stat between the extraordarily loose standards required for civil marriage, on one hand, and the absolute bar for another be such a huge gulf our culture that ’s obvly eply unfair.
PRO & CON QUOT: SHOULD GAY MARRIAGE BE LEGAL?
* sullivan argues that gay marriage should be legal because *
BRADLEY: It’s a plsible qutn for some people some fora, but I don’t thk ’s fair to say that – and ’s fallac to thk that somehow your argument is advanced if I don’t give somehow a satisfyg acunt of what a gay life would be or uld be apart om marriage.
SULLIVAN: It’s not a distractn the sense that you’re proposg an amendment the very Constutn of the Uned Stat, have helped wre such an amendment, that would bar gay people, not only om marriage but om civil unns and domtic partnerships, om any state-regnized form of protectn for their love and iendship.
Some of those hoeholds are populated by homosexuals and lbians, but probably most are not, and you ci that no longer will be an cint of marriage to sign a lease together or to execute power of attorney, or to be listed as a beneficiary on an surance policy, or anythg else.
WHY GAY MARRIAG SHOULD NOT BE LEGALIZED? REARCH PAPER
Proponents ntend that gay marriage bans are discrimatory and unnstutnal, opponents ague that marriage is primarily for procreatn. * sullivan argues that gay marriage should be legal because *
And I have yet to hear an argument agast gay marriage that is not based eher on relig beliefs or some visceral reactn to the ia of gay sex, though as one of our legislator’s said, “If you don’t like gay sex, you should really be favor of gay marriage, bee everybody knows there’s no sex after marriage. Am I rrect that the same logic you apply to gay marriage would fact lead to the aboln of or a very substantial tighteng of laws on divorc, bee both attus are rooted the same theory of what marriage is and what is there to be protected? And I thk that the abily of two gay people, pecially people who have been so historilly margalized and beaten down and trashed and subjected to enormo amounts of pa – And distrs me that the Catholic theologians never even nod to that experience, never even give a mentn to the pa that the human begs have gone through for so many centuri.
Even those who argue n be cured – and I’ve studied them, the most extreme versns of those who thk n be cured – neverthels n see that ’s extremely hard, the amount of ndng would take to try and get a gay person to live a superficially heterosexual existence.
In fact, the rather Juil reason that Profsor Bradley jt ed about legal cints, which is at least novel, I hadn’t heard that argument before, strik me as an example of that, that we will rethk how we scribe marriage whatever way we need to orr to block gays om enterg to . It is pletely fair to say, Do you also take that argument, which is the cril argument agast gay marriage, serly other areas, namely ntraceptn, no-flt divorce, et cetera, et cetera, the marriage of the fertile, to tt whether this is a prciple or whether you’re makg an exceptn for homosexualy, which rais the qutn of whether there is anim rather than prciple.
