The Debate On Gay Rights
<view this essay>.... gay community. People who are attracted to members of their same sex. Throughout this essay, I will do my best to take an unbiased look on the yes and no argument on whether homosexuals should have the same rights as heterosexuals.

Controlling Relationships
<view this essay>.... their lives. They are seldom content, and they
seem to resent anyone who is. Since both controlling people and passive people
have poor relationships, they experience a whole lot of loneliness. After a
long while, all of this loneliness adds up and makes them realize they can
survive on their own! Then they can stop trying to change their partner and
