The Case for Same-Sex Marriage
I wrote this for an essay contest my senior year in high school. That was the spring of 2001, so some of it is dated, and one of these days i'll go back and include all the research i didn't have a chance to include (i was printing out the essay 5am the day it was due) not to mention all the stuff that's happened since (not the least of which is the legalization of same-sex marriage in my home state).

During the academic year 2003-2004 i had a brief stint as an Op-Ed writer for student newspaper of the college at which i was then a junior (third-year).
