What are these so called ‘‘traditional family values”? This article questions whether gay marriages would challenge the typical house hold and its ‘‘traditional family values.’’ Does the legalization of same sex marriages truly affect family values and any other type of traditions? They compare the effects of a same sex marriage house hold with the effects of a single woman household. The article claims that some may say these studies have no point and are nearly a waste of time; however, studies like these are used in political debates and also as support when trying to pass amendments. For example, the article states, “...as of 2004, 45 states had banned same-sex marriage”. On the contrary, the result would not have been in those states’ favor as for the article then says, “The results show that allowing gay marriage has no significant adverse impact on the family values variables.”
Things are changing and as the world becomes more aware of our diversity we are becoming more accepting of our differences. This study produced a chart showing the states that have prohibited same sex marriages in 1990, 2000, and 2004. It also shows those who recognize it, and those who permit it.
