Hi everyone,
this thread is not meant to be a debate, rather it is a request for confirmable information. For my Sociology class I have to write an 8-10 page research paper on same sex marriages and I am trying to find the best, most OBjective resources that I can. I would love if it was an opinion paper.I have lots to say on the topic, but since it is not, I need as much info and statistics as I can get to cram into the paper. Do you know of any good resources? I would prefer if they were unbiased, but I know that no resource is completely unbiased. Thanks for any help you can offer!

and just to satisfy the need to argue that so many visitors to the dog house have, I will state my position on the issue. However, please do not reply unless you have *data* that I can use thanks a bunch.

I think that if two people of the same sex wanted to spend the rest of their lives together, and buy each other rings, and have a legal ceremony, and have all the same legal rights than that's all well and good. But the thing that I and many many other Americans will NEVER be ok with is for same sex "marriages" to be referred to as "marriages". Perhaps they can come up with an entirely new word that's all cool and PC, but until that happens, don't even dare try to put the label of "marriage" on the union of two members of the same sex. it is nothing short of disrespecting the TRUE marriage that can only be shared between one man and one woman

*crreeeeeak* the can of worms has been opened.
please remember, my opinion is irrelavant to this paper that I am working on. PLEASE don't give me opinions, give me verifiable, scientific data.
