I have to write a 3-5 page report on this topic but I am having some difficulty with this because I have not found any unbiased websites that provide information that will be useful to me. If someone would please help me develop main topics for an outline, it would be greatly appreciated.
 
It will be difficult, even here your clearly going to get biased answers...

Ofcourse I think that gay marriage should be allowed after all we should all have equal rights... and it's not hurting anyone is it?
 
The only thing holding back same sex coupled marriages is religion. Maybe explain that relation.

Also, explain how compelling it is for those of same genders whom want to be together, are together, despite public disagreements.
 
If you are in college, you almost certainly have access to databases of academic journals. The articles in these journals are peer-reviewed, and are only published if they are credible (what I mean by this, they will need FACTS in order to support their thesis). Call your school library and ask about it. You can search journals by keyword and other criteria.

Find journals about the relationships of same-sex couples. How long do they stay together? Also, the division of chores in same-sex households are usually more equally distributed than in heterosexual households. You might want to look into this. Look into the statistics of same-sex couple cohabitation and see if same-sex couples experience less physical abuse (ie: one partner abusing the other partner). As you read the journals, you will find many other good things to put in your paper.

Try to find a sociology textbook, an introductory one is good but one on family would be perfect. My sociology textbooks had some very good information in the sex and gender chapters.

I wish you luck :)
 
You can use some of the arguments I posted here, if you want.
