Psychosocial
Functioning Of The Family
[ send
me this paper ]
14 pages in length. Lisa was fed up with hiding the fact
that she was a lesbian. While she was not quite sure how her
family would react to such news, she had reached the end of
her rope; no longer could she continue living a lie. If her
mom and dad are not receptive to her sexual orientation, she
pondered, she was old enough to live on her own. To be sure,
living in a house where homosexuality is a dirty word is no
place for Lisa. Her brother, on the other hand, would be
openly accepting of her alternative lifestyle, inasmuch as
he had always been the underdog who can relate to being
different. Would that automatically brand her family as
dysfunctional, even though her parents were pillars of the
community? On the outside, Lisa and her brother were always
putting forth an image quite removed from their real selves
as a means by which to uphold their parent's social
representation. But now, thought Lisa, it was time for her
to relinquish the deep-seated guilt associated with her
well-to-do white bread family and take back her own life.
The writer discusses how her family reacts to the news, as
well as how it impacts the family structure. Bibliography
lists 17 sources.

Same
Sex Marriages in North Dakota
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages. The highly controversial subject of legalizing same
sex marriage in each of the states is garnering more and
more attention in the legislature. With some states
legalizing it and then repealing it, this issue is proven to
still be a complicated and controversial issue with no easy
answer. While each state has it's own determination on
whether or not same sex marriages should be recognized,
North Dakota, like most other states, currently does not
view a same sex marriage as a legal union. Bibliography
lists 3 sources.

Same-Sex
Marriage -- Issues and Case Law
[ send
me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses legislation and court decisions
prohibiting or supporting same-sex marriages. Those who want
to make their legal point in favor of the legality of
same-sex marriages point to the fact that banning same-sex
marriage is fundamentally discriminatory. Their opponents
make their objections based on the belief that marriage is
about procreation and that same-sex marriages would actually
add to taxpayer burden since gay couples would be eligible
for federal benefits and tax breaks. However, one of the
strongest points made by those opposed to such unions is
that one state court (or even several) should not dictate
marriage laws for the entire nation. Various case law
related to the issue are briefly examined -- Baehr vs. Lewin,
Bowers v. Hardwick, Romer v. Evans, Loving v. Virginia, and
Stan Baker et al. vs. State of Vermont. Bibliography lists 8
sources.
