Essay: The Limits of Free Speech and Gay
Marriage
Just as a coin
has two sides, I would like to start with the
limits on free speech and expression placed upon members of the military.
Members of the military are said to have limits on free speech and expression
especially to other civilians because it is by law that what is said and done
in the army should remain in the military and not exposed to the public for
everyone to know. This would be like
betraying one’s country and loyalty as a
military member. The military members have very limited freedom of speech with
many people apart from themselves. The military pledge to obey and follow
orders of those appointed over them.
The problem with gay marriage falls under certain things
that morally people should not do. Within the society, we
live in, many people tend to criticize same marriages,
and to some extent, those involved in
relationships of the same sex are considered immoral. Although civil rights are
negatively affected by freedom of speech, it has legalized same-sex marriage. By legalizing the rights of same-sex marriages, they are at a point of
suing any person who tends to tamper with their freedom of expressing their
love to the people of the same sex. Same-sex marriage is a controversial topic, and its legalization has conveyed
happiness to many individuals. Without freedom of speech, people wouldn’t be
able to fight for this law to be passed, even if it is against most of thesociety’s religion. Personally, I support the problem on gay marriages because every
person has a right to fall in love with either a person of the opposite sex or
even one of the same sex. It is one’s
free choice. Making a mistake to withdraw their freedom, will call for charges
of law to be imposed on you.
Limits on free speech and expression placed upon members of the military
are of great importance to a given country since its loyalty is attained.With this
denial of their free freedom ofspeech,
they are equally denied a lot of things in their lives such as freedom to joint
association or participate to any public manifestation. I honestly believe that Freedom of Speech and
expression has positively affected this legislation. Without freedom of speech, folks wouldn’t be able to
fight for this law to be passed, even if it is against most of thesociety’s religion. Still supporting the
problem on the gay marriage, my primary
interest remains on trying to fight for every right that these gay people would
have to any other rightful kind of the wedding.
It is evident that my primary
focus or my audience goes especially to the youths growing up in the today’s
world. This is because the world today is
not the world that existed at the time of
our grandparents because nowadays the youths have moved with the change in
technology unlike in our grandfather’s
time where technology was not a big deal. The youths
of today have changed, and they are
developing feelings for same sex and also
those developing negative feelings for
people of the opposite sex. They see there is no need putting up with people of
the opposite sex who may be might cheat on them, or even mistreat them. This has made them develop negative feelings to
their different sex partners and
therefore choosing just to fall in love
with those that are alike. My main reason of persuasion on the topic of gay marriages is that at least for the gay people
to feel that are not alone in the society and that they have someone who cares
about their rights and is also fighting for them and their rights. It is also
nice to be there for the minority groups such as the gay people because for
sure they are not as many as such in our societies. It’s good to be there for
them and also besides fighting for them; it
is nice to give them relevant advice concerning their choice of life instead of
leaving them to be condemned by the society leaving them to feel like they are outcasts in the society. By doing so,
they will at least consider like part of
the community, not as outcasts as most
people take them. My view of supporting
the gay marriage is right because no one has the right to stop one’s feelings for another human being.
Everyone is entitled to the freedom to love.
Lastly, having fought for the rights of the gay marriage, this alone
shows them that they are meant to live a happy life and that people accept them.
