Homosexual and Heterosexual Rights: How are They Different This paper will consider the question as to whether or not homosexuals ought to have same civil and contractual/legal rights as heterosexual persons. This paper will explore this by analyzing, through moral philosophy, a rationale for the difference between heterosexuals and homosexuals, and specifically, for the ways these differences are used to deny rights to legal marriage, adopt children and/or gain custody of children, to share as a legal partner in loss and insurance claims? Moral theory might help to frame an inquiry into how this works, in a civil society. To explore this, with the intention of arriving at an answer to the question, we will first refer to Hobbes' arguments for a law of social contracts, followed by a consideration of Kant's moral imperatives, and concluding with a closer reading of Locke's notes on identity and diversity. 5 pgs. 8 f/c. 4b.
