What is Contrast?

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them.  However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different.  It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted.  A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent.  However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

Legal rights and social benefits of same-sex parenting
Meezan & Rauch conducted a study on gay parenting in 2005. Legal parenting rights for same-sex couples cannot be fully discussed without discussing marriage rights. According to the author, same-sex marriage would provide three types of benefits to children of same-sex couples. If couples were permitted to marry, their children would have more financial benefits including eligibility for insurance coverage through both parents, disability benefits if a parent becomes disabled, and survivor benefits and inheritance rights if a parent dies. Second, same-sex couples would likely experiences less psychological distress and increased well-being as married rather than co-habituating couples. Finally, children would benefit socially from their parents being able to marry. The authors explain that having the family legitimized would define the family unit in terms with which others could relate. This connects the children's grandparents on both sides of the family to the child, whether or not they are biologically related. The children's daycares, school, and other organizations would have clear dictates for who is responsible for the children. Without legal recognition of all family members, these children do not have basic supports that most children have.
