Ending marriage discrimination: America in a civil rights moment

Research question: Should gays and lesbians be allowed to get married?


Wolfson, Evan. "Ending marriage discrimination: America in a civil rights moment." SIECUS Report 33.1 (2005): 13+. InfoTrac Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues Collection. Web. 10 Nov. 2011.




Summary: 


This article is about ending discrimination in marriage.  The author talks about how "gay marriage" is offensive because it implies that gays and lesbians are different from "normal" people. It talks about how this is another civil rights movement, and is similar to the Brown vs. Board of Education case and it's aftermath. The author says there is no reason, civilly, that gays and lesbians should not be allowed to get married.


Conclusion:


The article and the author agree with my opinions so far.  It says that gays and lesbians should have the same rights as heterosexuals and I think that is how it should be as well.
