Research Papers / GAY PARENTING; Need help on thesis for my topic [6]

been thinking about this a bit more...

isnt it like a bit too big to start talking about it being ethical or not...? because "ethical" is a pretty heavy word...

maybe any way of rephrasing the thesis because i think the argumentative part could be pretty strong

Thanks for the advice so far.
Debating with you guys on this is really helping me in the right direction to get away from the standard essay arguments that I've found.

I do guess this thesis would mean I also have to implement a bit of the gay marriage debate because it seems this is often set at the basis of gay parenting.

So i guess in some ways it will be somewhat of a mash-up between the two topics.

Maybe I could make my essay look abit like this:

Intro:
Explain the connection between gay marriage and gay parenting so I can use both for arguments

Analysis I: (Argument I)
Is it okay to deprive gays of equal rights (Ive also read something about depriving them of marriage causes worse health conditions. And something more about what it does to them to really start a family...

(I might have to find more on what not being able to be a parent does to them)

Analysis II (Argument II)
How gay marriage/parenting interfers with the common beliefs and religion

Analysis III (Argument III)
What are the needs of children, are they more pressured in society, and i read in a study that marriage will increase the feelings of a child being in a married-parents family

I think ethics wise it will be really hard to seperate marriage from parenting because the two have been seen in a cause-result relationship from the early days on

I think you might be right because its not the most common topic on gay parenting
I've mainly found alot of essays on the scientific aspect (what affects does gay parenting have on children)

The thing with this thesis would be though that there's often referred to marriage, marriage results in parenting and thus would it be ethical to allow gay people to marry giving them legal rights to, for example, adopt?

It might however be possible to get my arguments set up like this

For gays: depriving them of equal rights on marriage and thus making it harder to adopt; Is this ethical/unethical when focussing on human rights.

For society: I haven't quite figured this one out... maybe something on how it would conflict with religion and common beliefs?

For children: is it ethical/unethical to deprive children of what is believed to be the best foundation for children; a father and a mother. (I could grip back on studies showing that there is no scientific proof on gay parenting being bad for children.)

Would this be a good set-up of arguments?
