Resolve: The Issue of Homosexuality.

"My opponent has failed to address the fact that many homosexuals, including myself, are aware of the health risks our “behavior” is prone to. For that reason we take preventive measures. (i.e. wear condoms, get blood tests, et. al.) " My opponent is painting an unrealistic picture of gays to deceive the voters. Unprotected Sex On the Rise Among U.S. Gay Men, CDC Says SOURCES: Bruce Hirsch, M.D., attending physician, division of infectious diseases, North Shore University Hospital, Manasset, N.Y.; U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, news release, Nov. 27, 2013 Unprotected sex leads to rise in gay men in UK contracting HIV "The study was carried out by researchers from University College London, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) and other research centres in the UK and Denmark, and was funded by the UK National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)" "My opponent is incorrect. The structure of the debate was to address multiple issues of homosexuality" My opponent used a subjective word (issue). A homosexual issue to him may not be a homosexual issue for me. My opponent's idea of a "homosexual issue" is positive such as 'gay parents are good parents ' because my opponent is trying to refrain from any negative information about gays even if it's as serious as an HIV epidemic. For most people, a HIV and syphilis epidemic is clearly an issue. Better yet, it is the most serious issue of gays. "If he has addressed both marriage and adoption, THEN made his arguments on the STD epidemic in the fourth round, he would not have ignored the structure of the debate" Once again, my opponent is trying to deceive the voters . Here's MY quote from round 2 "A study from CDC shows the majority of HIV infections among gays occur in serious gay relationships in which obviously includes gay marriages. Therefore, gay marriage is increasing deadly stds among gays. There is no other way to look at it" That was clearly an argument against gay marriage "My opponent has made one argument against homosexuality, asserting that it is a health risk factor" My opponent seems to be downplaying my 'health risk factor' argument as if health its not THE most important. STD epidemics are a HUGE problem "he fails to address that heterosexual behavior can also be a health risk" A study shows HIV is decreasing among every group with the exception of gay/bi men Quote "Declines were seen in the rates for men, women, whites, blacks, Hispanics, heterosexuals, injection drug users and most age groups. The only group in which diagnoses increased was gay and bisexual men, the study found" Source http://www.cbsnews.com... "I have argued two cases in which homosexuals actively contribute to society, asserting that they operate on a very similar basis as heterosexuals" "To make a long story short, my opponents arguments do not justify the denial of acceptance of homosexuality" Acceptance - the action or process of being received as adequate or suitable. The reason why gays have such high std rates Is because the human anatomy does not sit well with homosexual behavior. In other words Homosexual behavior Is not suitable for the human anatomy. Therefore, my argument justifies why this high health risk should not be accepted. In conclusion, In the name of health, no society should accept a behavior that Commonly triggers STD epidemics and greatly increase the risk of diseases such as anal cancer. My opponent wants homosexuality to get pass on commonly triggering and spreading DEADLY std epidemics all because some gays are good parents. Using my opponents logic, every high health risk behavior should be accepted If the group contributes other things to society. That includes incest, bestiality, pedophilia, and Illegal substance abuse. So if Incest couples contribute to society, then incest should be accepted according to my opponent's logic.
