Analysis of “One Man’s Summary” By Josh Hammer This article summarizes the life of a man named Horus who lives in the UK. It explains the feelings that homosexual people have when they are surrounded by a society that does not accept them. Horus tells his story about being beaten and ostracized on the streets of Egypt. He was born in an upper-middle class family and writes plays and acts in them as well. After he came out as a homosexual however, Horus’ once famous plays are no longer allowed to be presented to the public.
He had very negative experiences once he came out and spoke of many others who felt the same. Analysis of “Court to Review Gay-Adoption Case” By Adam Lip tak This article is based in Key West, Florida, which is constantly fighting the law that states that children should not be adopted to homosexual couples. As the last state to still have their law this way, this article is giving the example of two men wanting to adopt two boys, but the court arguing that a heterosexual couple should have custody. One district court judge, James King, said he believed that children are better off with heterosexual married couples.
In Florida there are 3, 500 children in Foster Care and only one quarter of them w 3 ill be placed with single heterosexuals. Analysis of “Committed Couples Would Stabilize Society” By Andrew Sullivan This article is written by a male homosexual who approves of gay marriage. He first speaks of the Federal Marriage Amendment which was forbidding giving any gays equal marriage right of heterosexual couples. It says that gay couples are just as stable as heterosexual couples, if not more so, and it doesn’t make sense that gay’s are seen as less monogamous. To support his claim he gives the example of Denmark, which is the only place where gay marriage has been made legal so far, (since the article was written).
In Denmark the gay divorce rate is one fifth of that of straight couples, and the divorce rate of straight couples has actually decreased.
Gay couples are more stable than heterosexual as far as averages go, and therefore would have a better, more stable home for children.
