Blog 6: Value Our Families


Frank Bruni says, "marriage is worth aspiring to and fighting for (Bruni,nytimes)." Frank goes on to talk about the stereotypes of gay marriage. Individuals believe the women under the age of thirty having children out of wedlock are said to be gay but that is not the case. They are using these stereotypes for reasons of vetoing the same-sex marriage bill.  What I get from what Frank is trying to say is you can define what a family is especially from facts that are not exactly correct. Families have the same statistics no matter what social orientation the family is.

Same-sex marriage is a human rights issue they deserve the same rights as anyone else in America and other countries. America is not the only ones having this issue. This is a social problem on both sides, It is a social problem for individuals who are against same-sex marriages and this is a social problem for individuals fighting for their rights. They are being discriminated against.
