Gay Marriage

"That is because homosexuals are more likely to have anal sex, and has nothing to do with them simply being homosexuals. And I agree... that is not a valid reason to ban it."Anal sex has nothing to do with it, any type of sex can spread the STD. [1] And as I stated HOMOSEXUALS are MORE likely to get aids, 44 times more likely. [2]Also all of your case is a refutation to things that I never said, hence your case is invalid."Does that mean marriages between sterile people should be illegal, because they can only have adopted children? What does this have to do with gay marriage?"You didn't even refute what you quoted. Anyway. My opponent tries to pull the sterile couple refutation, which isn't a good one. Firstly it is a misenterpretetion. The argument is the goverment want's procreative type relationships to enter these unions to enter the marital buisness. [3] "this objection confuses between acts that are reproductive in type and acts that are reproductive in effect." [3]Adoption next."Homosexual couples can contribute to society by giving homes to children up for adoption. And, by your logic, heterosexual couples that can not have children, for whatever reason, should not be able to be married because they can not "contribute to society".As I have stated the states interest is not in adoption rather making biological children to further society. Adoption just moves the childen, heterosexual couples actually increase the population and propagate society. [4] Homosexuals cannot propagate society in this way, therefore the BOP is on pro to find reasons the state should legalize it. [4]I already refuted infertile couples, but I will do it in a different way. These elderly infertile couples are rare, and are not worth changing a law over. [4] Overall heterosexual couples can still procreate and further society. [4]Whichver refutation works for you, I had 2 versions. :P"Also, the planet is obviously grossly overpopulated"That is false. The majority of the world is vacant. [5] And you could fit the whole worlds populaiton in the state of oregeon comfortably. [5] Further more africa has anough reasources to feed the whole world, but their wars and such are stoping this production. [5] And populaiton will even decline. [5] This argument is false."very few people would consider making babies to be a service to society."I actually disagree, if we where to stop creating babies society wouldn't exist."Plus, homosexual marriages will not decrease the current amount of heterosexual marriages, so unless marriage is looked at as some sort of prize for being heterosexual"No, it will not decrease the number of homosexual marriage, but it will change heterosexual procreative behavior and contribute to a loss in population. [6]"it makes no sense to say that homosexuals do not "deserve the privilege".Your claiming if there is no reason to we should still do it. Let me give an analogy, it would benfit people if we all paid no taxes, but the govenment will never do that. Why? Because it is not in their interests to do such a thing. As I have proven it is not a state interest to allow SSM, therefore it should not."Morality varies from person to person and one group's opinions should not decide who is deserving or good or bad."We're not arguing morality."And isn't it inhumane to say that a person does not "deserve" to do something because of something they have no control over?"This contradicts with your last statement. If morality is subjective then to me this may be false. Also it is not immoral. As I stated, if it is not in someones itnerest to do something then why do it?"What is the difference between sexual orientation and race on this subject?""Some have compared the prohibition of homosexual marriage to the prohibition of interracial marriage. This analogy fails because fertility does not depend on race, making race irrelevant to the state’s interest in marriage. By contrast, homosexuality is highly relevant because it precludes procreation. " [4]States interests = procreation, races procreate, therefore is should be allowed. Homosexuals cannot procreate therefore this comparison is false. VOTE CON[1] http://en.wikipedia.org... [2] http://www.cdc.gov... [3] http://www.debate.org... [4] http://tech.mit.edu...
