Same Sex Marriage
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper that offers an overview of the "gay" marriage debate. In his 2005 State of the Union Address, President George W. Bush, again, reiterated his endorsement of an Amendment to the Constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage. On the other side of the issue, many people argue that same-sex marriage does not portend the disastrous erosion to the foundations of civilization that conservatives fear. Examination of same-sex marriage, and the issues that surround this topic, is illuminating as to the these two radically opposed positions. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Same Sex Marriage: Differing Viewpoints
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page overview of the issues surrounding gay marriage. This paper contends that as the issue of same sex marriage continues to mature more and more organizations are beginning to yield in favor of allowing for the sentiments of their members. More
and more of those members are either gay themselves or supportive of gay rights. At the same time, our legal balances have been in play to make
sure that the interests of any one group did not unduly weigh out over those of other groups. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Same Sex Marriages in North Dakota
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. The highly
controversial subject of legalizing same sex marriage in each of
the states is garnering more and more attention in the
legislature. With some states legalizing it and then repealing
it, this issue is proven to still be a complicated and
controversial issue with no easy answer. While each state has
it's own determination on whether or not same sex marriages
should be recognized, North Dakota, like most other states,
currently does not view a same sex marriage as a legal union.

Same-Sex Marriage -- Issues and Case Law
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses legislation and court decisions prohibiting or
supporting same-sex marriages. Those who want to make their legal
point in favor of the legality of same-sex marriages point to the
fact that banning same-sex marriage is fundamentally
discriminatory. Their opponents make their objections based on
the belief that marriage is about procreation and that same-sex
marriages would actually add to taxpayer burden since gay couples
would be eligible for federal benefits and tax breaks. However,
one of the strongest points made by those opposed to such unions
is that one state court (or even several) should not dictate
marriage laws for the entire nation. Various case law related to
the issue are briefly examined -- Baehr vs. Lewin, Bowers v.
Hardwick, Romer v. Evans, Loving v. Virginia, and Stan Baker et
al. vs. State of Vermont. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
