Answer:

Same sex marriage should be allowed.

Explanation:

Same sex marriage should be allowed because, to deny some people the option to marry would be discriminatory and would create a bad sigma. Same-sex couples should have access to the same benefits enjoyed by heterosexual married couples.

As well as discrimination based on sexual orientation, gay marriage bans discriminated based on one’s sex. As David S. Cohen, JD, Associate Professor at the Drexel University School of Law, explained, “Imagine three people—Nancy, Bill, and Tom… Nancy, a woman, can marry Tom, but Bill, a man, cannot… Nancy can do something (marry Tom) that Bill cannot, simply because Nancy is a woman and Bill is a man.”

Married couples also have access to protections if the relationship ends, such as child custody, spousal or child support, and an equitable division of property. Additionally, legal same-sex marriage comes with mental and physical health benefits. The American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, and others concluded that legal gay marriage gives couples “access to the social support that already facilitates and strengthens heterosexual marriages, with all of the psychological and physical health benefits associated with that support.” And isn't that what we need right now?

A 2010 analysis found that after their states had banned gay marriage, gay, lesbian and bisexual people suffered a 37% increase in mood disorders, a 42% increase in alcohol-use disorders, and a 248% increase in generalized anxiety disorders.

Gay marriages bring financial gain to federal, state, and local governments, and boost the economy. That being because more people would be able to be married.

Legal marriage is a secular institution that should not be limited by religious objections to same-sex marriage. Religious institutions can decline to marry gay and lesbian couples if they wish, but they should not dictate marriage laws for society at large.

The concept of “traditional marriage” has changed over time, and the idea that the definition of marriage has always been between one man and one woman is historically inaccurate.

Gay marriage is a civil right protected by the US Constitution’s commitments to liberty and equality, and is an internationally recognized human right for all people.

Marriage is not only for procreation, otherwise infertile couples or couples not wishing to have children would be prevented from marrying. Ability or desire to create offspring has never been a qualification for marriage. From 1970 through 2012 roughly 30% of all US households were married couples without children, and in 2012, married couples without children outnumbered married couples with children by 9%.

enot [183]

Bella   ran   out the  house  towards  the  woods  to  look  for  shelter.  It  was  a  dark,  silent  night  of  October...One  could  hear  the  owls  and  wolves  in  the  distance.


She  ran  untiringly  until  she  arrived  to  a  hill.  "How  strange"  she  thought  to  herself,  when  she  saw  a  brown  wooden  gate  that  lead  inside  the  hill.  The  gate  had  a  green  light  on  top  and  a  "Warning"  sign  sticked  to  it.


The  gate  swung  silentry  inward  "There  had  never  been  a  gate  here  before"  thought  Bella,  although  she  felt  extremely  curious  about  it  and  she  decided  to  open  it.


It  was  completely  dark  inside,  Bella  could  not  even  see  her  hands  and  she  felt  like  it  was  a  dream,  like  suddenly  nothing  existed  anymore.  After  a  few  minutes  of  being  in  complete  trance,  she  heard  rain  falling  and  suddenly  she  remembered  she  was  in  this  weird,  dark  place  that  seemed  to  had  appeared  out  of  nowhere.   "I'll  go  out  and  try  to  find  another  place  to  stay"  she  thought,  "this  place  is  too  scary".


Nevertheless,  the  second  she  turned  to  the  door  trying  to  go  out,  the  door  slammed,  making  a  very  loud  noise.  Bella  tried  to  open  it  but  it  was  stuck.  Suddenly,  a  path  of  lights  appeared  and  Bella  decided  to  follow  it,  thinking  that  perhaps  she  could  find  another  exit.


After  walking  for  miles,  she  finally  saw  a  way  out  to  that  place.  There  was  another  door,  similar  to  the  one  she  entered  first.  She opened  it  and  she  was  thrown  to  a  forest,  "This  place  looks  familiar"  she  thought  to  herself  and  decided  to  go  take  a  look.  The forest  was,  indeed,  identical  to  the  one  where  she  lived;  The  only  difference  was  that  there  was  a  river  in  this  new  forest,  which  did  not  exist  at  her  home  town.  The  water  was  crystal  clear  and  she  could  see  her  reflection  on  it...  "AAH!"  Bella  screamed  when  she  saw a  shadow  behind  herself  and  quickly  look  behind...  Someone  had  been  following  her...

Mashcka [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The supporting evidence would be most effective to include in that particular paragraph would be something like this.

The general public is more technologically unaware than previous generations because nowadays mobile phones and computers have been designed to facilitate the lives of the users. That is why it is easy to understand and operate the most common functions and applications. It is a matter of consumerism. The easiest it is for the common people to use cell phones or computers, the better for companies to sell more and more devices.
