What is a interesting topic about gay marriage?

I'm doing a presentation for my American Government class on Gay marriage. There are other people in my group and we're all taking about something different about gay marriage.


These are the topics about gay marriage that are already taken by my group members:


Adoption


Civil rights


Religion


State laws


Prop 8


Choice


History

I'd stay away from religion.





History may be an interesting one. You could speak about how each generation imposes it's own moral codes. Puritans had laws (governmental laws) we'd find laughable today. Utah wasn't allowed to join the union until is specifically outlawed polygamy. States did not allow bi-racial marriages. Prohibition of alcohol. ... Eventually, we see a pattern in history. Namely, that laws and policy rarely work out unless there are cultural norms to support them. True, lasting, morality of a society is decided culturally, not by policy of the government.



Why don't you look at the purpose and definition of ';marriage';. Can two same gendered persons enter into the social/legal contract known as ';marriage';, or should that contract be called something else?





Although your topic may end up being more controversial than the others, I think it will be more interesting. Good luck.






in britain until the turn of this century, there was a law called section 28.





it forbid the ';positive promotion'; in schools of same sex couples as acceptable parents/families thereof. it meant that if somebody at school whose parents were a homosexual couple, that child could not be allowed to think its parents and family set up were acceptable. the law was introduced around 1988, and was overturned, as i say, about 2000.





to my mind, it was an inhumane law and should never have been made statute.
You can talk about how gays live their lives like anyone else.





Their alarm clocks go off.


They rush about getting ready for work.


Their sinks clog up.


Their cars need brakes a week after the warranty is up.





When you think about your parents being married, I would bet your first thought isn't about the sex. Think beyond the sex when you do your presentation.
This may be covered under ';civil rights'; but I think someone should look at the laws of other countries (such as the UK) where gay people have civil unions and domestic partner benefits; and compare the pros and cons of civil unions vs. gay marriage.
Religion, interesting? It's not a good topic because not everyone believes in it.
