Repress Me, but I Won’t Fall Society has judged everyone who has lived in the world since the day they are born. We get judged based on our gender, hair color, skin color, ethnicity, and the list goes on. But in particular, homosexuals have been highly judged just because they like their same gender. Society conveys hateful words like fags and dikes to actually harassment. Homosexuals are being repressed by most Americans via not allowing them to marry, adopt children, express their social norms in public, and homophobia. Marriage among homosexuals has been highly repressed in our society. Marriage has been defined as a legal, religious, and social certified union of persons who commit to one another. The key word in this definition is Persons because it states no justification of gender. In addition, according to the United States constitution, “all men are created equal with life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness” (U.S constitution). Isn’t marriage part of happiness and liberty? Then why are homosexuals restricted from getting marry and live a happy life like any ordinary marriage? Homosexuals are not insulting religion; instead they are committing their lives to Jesus Christ by conveying commitment. Moreover, religion has restricted same sex marriage, but in the new testimony, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, it conveys that “love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.” In other words, love in marriage does not judge anyone. Just because you’re white, black, Latin American, ect. does not mean you cannot marry; So then why should homosexuals be stomped out? Homosexuals are just asking for a certificate that proves that they are married because they have already proven to god that they are committed to one another. Is that too much to ask Homosexuals do not have the right to adopt innocent children from Foster Homes. These individuals are not causing harm to children; instead they want to communicate a good inspiration. They just want to form a family and live together like a normal family. Yet, laws prohibit these individuals from doing so. Some states like Arizona, Massachusetts, and Florida, have laws that prohibit these individuals from adopting. In other words, what these laws are revealing is that we let these helpless children in foster homes and let the system decide their future? “There are more than 12 million foster care alumni in the U.S” (U.S. Newswire-Foster care month). Homosexuals just want to adopt a child and give him a superior life than what he is obtaining in foster homes. They want to decrease the statistics an education to these innocent children rather than leave them to suffer in the loneliness and not knowing what it must feel to have a family. Why should American laws prohibit a foster child to be nurtured and have a family? Let homosexuals adopt children and prove to society that their misconceptions were wrong. Why should homosexuals hide their culture to society? As humans, they want to express their ordinary lives. Yet, some Americans perceive their actions as demonic. Why can’t a man and a man hold hands in public? Are they harming anyone? No! They just want to convey their love and show of their relationship. “Imagine a world where being gay was the norm and being straight would be the minority” (Film-Love is all you need). How would you feel to be mistreated like getting wounded and called names, like hetero, just because you like the opposite gender? How would you feel to be toss around like trash and be seen as a monster for just holding hands with the person you love? It would feel horrible wouldn’t it? Americans need to stop being ethnocentrism, judging other cultures based on their own beliefs. The United States is known as the country of liberty, yet it doesn’t accept a simple fact of homosexuals holding hands out in public or having gay celebrations. There will never be
