I'm writing my ethics term paper on Gay Marriage. Anyone have anything I should include? It has to be reputable sources...

Not specifically on gay marriage, but hopefully useful: LGBT Issues and Philosophy

Also check out the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on marriage and domestic partnerships: Marriage and Domestic Partnership (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

What are the requirements for the paper?

For reputable sources, the best place to look is on your school's library website, where you can search for academic articles in peer-reviewed journals.

Basically 2500 words or more on the subject. A defined argument, both sides presented

You should look up the amicus briefs from the Proposition 8 trial. A ton of different very reputable organizations--the NAACP, Lambda Legal, the ACLU, SPLC, Congress's LGBT caucus and a ton more--all of them make a trillion different arguments, it would be a really good resource to use. Here's a link to the more recent ones, just explore the site a little bit. ^_^

They even post the briefs from the FRC and NOM and stuff, one-stop-shopping...
