... the FBI is out to get them. In some cases,
where the people are criminals, they may be right.
(For instance, Louis Farrakhan, who has threatened
to lop off the heads of any undercover FBI agents
in his organization in his speech Warning to the
Government, is probably not rated too highly among
FBI members. ) There have been numerous attempts,
recently, to defame the late J. Edgar Hoover-much
of which borders on sheer insanity, the rest of
which is an outright, licentious rumor-by leftist

make harsh judgments about homosexual individuals.
The AIDS epidemic, to which many male homosexuals
are falling victim, may be a major contributing
factor to antigua prejudices. As more gays have
identified themselves publicly, they have also
formed more public organizations. There are gay
journals, gay newspapers, and gay political
groups, These groups have formed an alliance; they

Usually a persons beliefs come from what kind of
upbringing they have had. And in the case of
whether or not it is right for homosexuals to
adopt comes those beliefs. Most think it is
totally immoral for a homosexual person to adopt
because it is not the traditional family. The
traditional family refers to the idea of a
husband, a wife, and their dependent children,
whose relationships are traditionally recognized
by law (CQ researcher, 782). Today, fewer and

Benefits for Homosexuals in the Workplace For many
years now minority groups have been fighting to
get equal representation in high paying jobs and
to be treated like everyone else if they are
hired. The minority group that I wish to focus on
is homosexuals. Many gays believe that they are
being treated unfairly by companies that do not
offer domestic partner benefits and other fringe
benefits that are offered to heterosexual workers
and their spouses. They argue that their partners
are in effec...

Should homosexual couples be allowed to adopt
children? The question concerning gay couples
adopting children has become major problem in our
society. This has become more of a political issue
than a moral issue. If the question is looked at
morally instead of politically then there would be
no question at all. Gay couples should be in no
way allowed to adopt children. There are several
reasons why gay couples should not be able to
adopt children. People look at this question from
the wrong stan...

Male And Female Order To Survive

No one knows exactly how homosexuality entered
into human history. I would imagine that the
practices associated with the erotic attraction of
people to one's own gender have been around since
the dawn of humanity. The earliest accounts of
homosexual behavior seem to be found in ancient
pagan religious practices. At least, the pagans
included homosexuality in the worship of various
gods. Whether the inclusion in worship was because
the practice was already a part of the
society-at-large or if th...

1. It seems that the Bible, Eastern Orthodox
Christians, Roman Catholics, the majority of
Protestants, and most major cultures are opposed

What is homosexuality? Homosexuality is the
manifestation of sexual desire toward a member of
one's own sex or the erotic activity with a member
of the same sex. (The Greek word homos means "the
same"). A lesbian is a female homosexual. More
recently the term "gay" has come into popular use
to refer to both sexes who are homosexuals. Dr.
Strauss's definition fails to differentiate
between homosexual orientation (i. e. same sex
feelings of attraction) and homosexual behavior

... s unconstitutional to deny marriage licenses
to homosexuals (Victory 1). In response to the
ruling, the Vermont state government enacted a law
permitting civil unions of gay couples to be
performed. Civil unions give exactly the same
privileges to homosexual couples as are afforded
their heterosexual counterparts. Homosexual
citizens in the state of Vermont are now permitted
to join in civil unions if they choose to do so.
These couples were then given the same rights as
their heterosexual c...

Legalizing Same Sex Marriage Lesbian Or Gay
1,207 words
Over time, marriage has been the solid base for
procreation and child rearing, which is the
foundation of family and social life. There is
recognition that allowing polygamous or closely
related couples into our marriage system would be
dysfunctional in our society. Does this not apply
to same-sex marriage as well? The social
unacceptability of same-sex marriage, the danger
of contracting AIDS, and the bad influence on
children prove that same-sex marriage should not
be legalized. Homosexual act...

With the recent decision by the Hawaii courts
regarding the legalization of marriage between
same-sex couples, a political debate across the
United States has begun. Many people believe that
this is a monstrous step to legalizing same-sex
unions country wide, especially since legal
tradition recognizes marriages performed in other
states as binding within every other state, but
also because Hawaii is known for its liberal,

How America should react to homosexuals Many
experts agree that homosexuality has existed as
long as human beings themselves, although the
attitude towards them has undergone dramatic
changes in some countries. Accepted by many
societies during Greek and Roman era, most of the
time homosexuals were considered to be sinners
against nature and even criminals. In Medieval and
modern periods homosexuals were prosecuted.

Homosexuality is said to be a preference for
affiliation and sexual activity with a person of
the same sex. The potential for homosexual
behavior appears to be a basic part of human
sexuality, since many people experience homosexual
interest, curiosity, or activity at some point in
their lives. Homosexual behavior has also been

Homosexual Homosexual Marriages Itani 1 Homosexual
Marriages Homosexuals should be allowed to marry
because the disallowance of it violates their
constitutional rights. Marriage is an institution
long recognized by our government under the right
to pursue happiness, and denying that right to any
couple, regardless of gender, is unconstitutional.
This argument, though, is not disputed. In fact,
none of the arguments raised in opposition to the

Homosexuality and the Law 2 Homosexuality and the
Law The issue of homosexuality has been brought to
society s attention on more than one occasion, and
still remains unresolved. The homosexual community
should receive the same rights as the heterosexual
community, thus the laws should relate to all of
the society. By thoroughly researching the laws in
relation to the homosexual community, it has been
noticeable that homosexuals do not receive the
