4. Catherine2564, Chesterfield NJ. "Same Sex Marriage." Teen Opinion Essay | Teen Ink. N.p.,

n.d. Web. 10 Feb. 2017.

This essay is a good source for this topic because the teen gives eye opening comparisons

between gay-marriage, and straight marriage. When reading her essay, she makes you look

at it from a different perspective and she shows how hypocritical it can be to discriminate

against gay couples but support straight couples, because ultimately, they are the same.

The teen even goes as far as connecting the topic to bullying, and speaking on how our

country is supposed to be anti-bullying. A statement in her essay that stood out to me was,
 Moreover, the First Amendment protects us from the government which is basically allowing

us to express our thoughts and feelings. Well last time I checked, love is a feeling. It doesnt

matter who you feel it with, as long as youre happy. It made me realize how sad it is that a

country can discriminate you just because of who your heart tells you the love.

5. Brewer, Paul R. "Public Opinion About Gay Rights and Gay Marriage." Internation Journal of

Public Opinion Research. Oxford Academic, 4 Sept. 2014. Web. 12 Feb. 2017.

This article talks about the publics opinion on gay rights. The article includes a data table

that shows the opinion about gay marriage and homosexuality in selected nations. From this

table I can clearly see that gay marriage has a lot of support in many countries. There is also

many countries where the support is not as high, In countries such as Nigeria, Pakistan, and

Egypt, there is little to no support for homosexuality or gay-marriage. The studies in this

issue of the International Journal of Public Opinion provide a diverse set of insights

regarding public opinion in nations from three continents including, Asia, Europe, and North

America.This article also contributes to our knowledge about how demography, social

contact, and media can shape public opinion about gay rights along with related attitudes.
