Rights

Carly's POV

A/N This Chapter is By Request for jhuikmn08 a awesome reviewer of mine you rock

Brittany's talk helped ease me through the day and as every day had gone since Sam's impromptu web show it was filled with comments and whispers snickers. A few girls took it beyond and corned me in the locker room when we were changing one pushed me so hard when I was trying to change my pants that I tripped and fell on my butt everyone laughed . I felt my face flushing up as they pointed and taunted me.

Look Marcy she fell for you I told ya she was a dyke just like that queer

What's the matter you so gay you can't even walk straight anymore?

Standing up I balled my fist I wanted to punch her so bad but even with Brittany's talk that morning there was no way I could do that. So I just took a deep breath and pushed past them grabbing my stuff.

Aw where you going hot stuff? Don't leave the party were just getting started

As I was bending to grab my stuff one girl slapped my butt so hard I felt the sting like a sharp needle they laughed.

Flabby just like her

Fat gay and ..

Go to hell..

Wendy's voice echoed out as she grabbed me I was trying to control my breathing.

Don't you bitches have any where else to go leave Carly alone she hasn't done anything to you..

Yet we want to make sure she doesn't get the chance..we know how those queers role she needs to change some where else we don't want her here were good girls we don't do dirty things like this...

Yea right Courtney we all know you did every guy on the football basketball and field hockey team...Carly's a saint compared to you she hasn't done anything dirty being gay is not a disease you won't catch it..

Says you but you been around these freaks so long your prob diseased and don't know it..

Lets go Carls

She lead me inside the coach's private office I didn't even want to know where she had gotten the key or how.

Before I knew it she was holding me as I cried for the hundredth time that day.

By the time I got to debate club after school I was whipped and just wanted to lay down but I had to

Step up I was the team leader for my side and even though it was only rehearse our teacher took it deadly serious.

Carly vs Marty

Carly is Pro Marty is Con one one..two...Marty go..

I"m Marty Seinfeld and I am here to argue the rights of gay marriage ..I start with a perfect Quote..

"We cannot accept the view that Amendment 2's prohibition on specific legal protections does no more than deprive homosexuals of special rights. To the contrary, the amendment imposes a special disability on those persons alone. Homosexuals are forbidden the safeguards that others enjoy or may seek without constraint"

-Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority of the U.S. Supreme Court in the decision overturning Colorado's Amendment 2 referendum

Marriage is for a man and a woman god created Adam And Eve not Adam and Steve ..

Real Marriage is... An institution for a man and a woman. Marriage is not genderless. It is a union of two different sexes, not just a union of two different people. Real marriage (a man & a woman) is not rooted in discrimination. It is rooted in common sense, for the common good. For marriage to flourish in our culture, it must be protected from redefinition; for if marriage can mean anything, it will mean nothing. No marriage that violates the man-woman standard can be real.

Girls Should not marry girls

Marty was looking at me as he said this is grin was pure evil

Guys should not marry guys in fact if we go to the bible God himself declares Homosexuality a SIN!

God now he sounded like a preacher he was making me sick I heard the whispers and the coughs as my name was being said over and over I felt a few people poking me with sticks …

These are just a few of the logical reasons as to why gays

He said the word with so much disgust and venom I felt my skin crawl I felt the eyes of every student on me as he was talking some giving me sick looks others afraid to be near me.

Thousands of years of traditional, male-female marriage, across numerous cultures and religions.

The public health catastrophe among homosexual men.

Numerous studies showing the importance to children of a father and a mother.

But today let's look at biblical reasons for opposing gay marriages.

These Scriptures may be meaningless to unbelievers.

But these are the biblical reasons that should drive us who hold to the Word of God.

Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

God defines homosexual offenders as among "the WICKED."

Ephesians 5:11, KJV And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

The Christian's duty is to reprove, not to ignore, that which God calls wicked.

Some idiot manged to cough my name as he said wicked my face flushed as I felt the tears burning in my eyes I didn't think I could stand and give my speech. I just wanted to get out of there. Marty's grin was the most wicked of everything his eyes never left mine.

Time very well stated Marty Carly your up

I was frozen I mean my body felt ice cold and I was dizzy. I felt sick to my stomach and my legs could barely stand but I manged to get up front all eyes on me I saw everything their faces of hate disgust and condemnation. I wanted to set them all straight but I was afraid I didn't have it in me.

I tried to conjure up what Brittany had said earlier about being proud and about not letting them define me but it's easy to do when your alone in a apartment in front of a mirror it's ten times harder to do it in front of the people you have to go to school with sit by at lunch..my fear almost made me black out but then I thought of Sam no one had stood up for her no one had made her feel her life was worth something. No one stood up for Erica when she needed them to and then there was Jamey Meyers and Jamie HuBright who was standing up for these kids?

So I took a deep breath and began

My name is Carly Shay and I am here to argue for the Rights of Gay, Lesbian, Transgender,Bisexual People like me that's right I Carly Shay I am Gay..

I heard gasps and some choking as I said my last statement I kept my eyes glued to their faces of shock disbelief fear anger disgust but slowly I saw something else pride happiness and acceptances, well not from everyone I saw a few people get up and leave a few shift away from me but mostly people were listening.

The biggest and oldest argument is what my opponent so bluntly pointed out Marriage is an institution between one man and one woman. One even codified in a recently passed U.S. federal law. Yet it is easily the weakest. Who says who marriage is to be defined by? The married? The marriageable? Isn't that kind of like allowing a banker to decide who is going to own the money in

Stored in his Vaults? It seems to me that if the straight community cannot show a compelling reason to deny the institution of marriage to gay people, it shouldn't be denied. And such simple, nebulous declarations are hardly a compelling reason. They're really more like an expression of prejudice than any kind of a real argument. The concept of not denying people their rights unless you can show a compelling reason to do so is the very basis of the American ideal of human rights.

If anything harms marriage, it is bad marriages where people don't take marriage seriously — and that's already too common with heterosexuals. If gay couples in committed relationships are able to formalize their unions as marriages, that can only serve to improve marriage overall by providing more positive role models.

If two people love each other, shouldn't they be allowed the same rights, privileges and responsibilities, no matter their genders? Yet, marriage is so much greater than the commitment of two people to each other. Marriage is an institution that much of our culture revolves around. It is also an institution that is in crisis.

Divorce rates are at an all time high. Infidelity in marriage is an epidemic. When someone can compete on a television reality show to "Marry a Millionaire", the argument about saving a sacred institution seems kind of pointless.

Time Excellently done Carly very well thought out and planned ...as far as I can see you would win that Marty we need to talk now!

Class is dismissed do your homework!

My legs were shaking as I walked back to my seat I didn't give anyone time to talk to me or approach me I grabbed my back and left.

I drove for hours unable to face going home I had won that debate sure but did it really change anyone's minds? Would school really be any different?

Carly you okay? Your shaking in your sleep wake up Carls..

My eyes shot open as I saw I was laying on my bed..still shaken I looked around to see Gibby standing over me worried brushing his hands over my face I sighed as the tears started again before I knew it he was laying by me holding me as I cried I couldn't believe I had just did what I did I might as well said it over the Pa system...god what would Freddie think?
