Sources

The two sources I want to utilize to better understand this debate are The limits to Union and Procon.org. The first source I found, Procon.org, was found using a simple Google search to find topics. What I really liked about this site was the complete information from both sides of every debate. When I finally chose this debate to cover, I learned many facts within the first 15 minutes of looking around on the site. The second source I found, The Limits of Union is written by Jonathan Goldberg-Hiller. In his book, Jonathan discusses how much politics are involved with this debate. He is also less biased in this book which made me want to read the book. I really like the expansion of the topic that each source brings. Without Procon.org I would have only guessed what people could dislike about gay marriage. Now, I see the topic in a whole new light. I feel like with the information, I can get an unbiased look at the debate and really decide if there are more pros or cons. I also really like Jonathan's work because it really shows the legality portions of the debate. It helps me understand why something like this is difficult to pass. Again, It gives me more to think about. I think of the pros and cons as a tree. Every time I read another article, each of these tress grow another branch. I may not see it yet, but these trees are completely full of knowledge!

  1. Brandon it sounds like you got two really great sources to start out with! I love how you describe your research as a tree and that you are constantly adding another branch by learning new information! I think that kind of thinking is going to really help with writing your paper. It is great that you are looking at this topic from both points of view so that you can fully understand what you are arguing about and sound more knowledgeable when it comes to the overall product!
