Gay marriages should be federally legalized in the United States.

I. The Fourteenth Amendment (Equal Protection Clause) I forgot to mention this aspect of the Constitution that shows that discrimination against marriage is illegal. In the interracial marriage case Loving vs. Virginia, the Supreme Court unanimously voted against discrimination in marriage based on the Equal Protection Clause. "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." It is fair for you to have to rebut this argument, because it is so important and you have ample time to rebut it, two rounds. II. Topicality My opening statement was simply an introduction to my position and self as a debater. The topic, in debate, is always what is to be debated. That is one of the few rules of debate. I am sorry to confuse you, but legality is an issue as well as naturality. III. Natural Behavior Justification You used the argument that violence is justified for its naturality. However, violence hurts people. Love does not hurt anybody. This is a common sense argument. IV. Leviticus 20:13 A. This scripture was not presented by God. Most knowledgable Bible scholars, even the most conservative, will conceed that these rules are not from God. They are rather presented from Israeli religious leaders. They do not have the right, as well as any other human what is right or wrong. B. Leviticus 20:2 reads "speak to the children of Israel." Christians are NOT the "children of Israel". No Christians have an obligation to follow Jewish Levitical Laws. It is typical for religion to be used to justify hate. It has been done in slavery, suffrage and the holocaust. C. Leviticus also bans round haircuts, tattoos, wearing garments of mixed fabrics, eating pork or shellfish, and even playing with the skin of a pig (football). V. Romans 1:24 - 27 A. These priests and priestesses engaged in some odd sexual behaviors -- including castrating themselves and carrying on drunken sexual orgies. This is the sin the Bible is referring to. God is obviously not condemning the way he created a group of people. B. These people refused to acknowledge and worship God, and for this reason were abandoned by God. C. The scripture says that God gave them up for vile affections against nature, but how is it referring to homosexuality, which is proven to be from birth? And is natural? It is not referring to homosexuality. That is an incorrect assumption. D. Romans 2 begins with the scripture "Therefore, [referring to Romans 1], you have no excuse, whoever you are, when you judge others; for in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself..." That is what Romans 1 is about: judging others, not homosexuality. How dare you twist a message from God for your own personal benefit to spread hate! VI. You Being A Jerk DO NOT try to convert me to your religion or your sexual preference! I know what I am and who I am. I am not sinning, as I have proven. However, you are for being judgmental. There are only 6 scriptures that can be twisted to condemn homosexuality. While a main message of your Bible is to not judge others! Practice what you preach, buddy. VII. My sources My related sources all stated that homosexuality is natural and at least partially biological. VIII. Scientific Consensus You have the nerve to only copy and paste the part of my source that states that there is no scientific consensus on the BIOLOGY of homosexuality. However, among respectable scientific sources that are not biased the consensus is that homosexuality is in part genetic or set in very early in life. It is unfair and dishonest that you only copy and paste one part of the source just like you did with the Bible. IX. Natural selection A. Ok... B. It is possible that there is a recessive homosexual trait in humans that is being overshadowed by the dominant trait but still being passed down in some cases only not expressed. C. Homosexuals often reproduce through modern scientific methods like serrogacy and invetro. D. And, many homosexuals, in order to hide their sexuality, do indeed reproduce. X. Natural selection proves homosexuality to be immoral This argument makes no sense! Many genese will be naturally selected. XI. "This view of homosexuality as pathological is supported by the self-destructive nature of homosexual activity, which severely increases the risk of AIDS." This also makes no sense! AIDS is a disease. There is no scientific support or debate that it is a disease. XII. Gays should not adopt, because God does not want them to have kids. A. DO YOU KNOW GOD'S PLAN!? LET GOD SPEAK FOR HISSELF! STOP LYING IN HIS NAME! IT'S DISPICABLE! B. God perhaps made it so difficult for gays to have kids because of the many kids in need of adoption. XIII. Gay marriage is like psychos marrying. This is an incredibly ignorant statement and no source will claim that homosexuality is pathological. My opponent has lied in the name of science, God and twisted my sources. He is dishonest and only cares about his hateful message. I do not understand why e enjoys prejudice so much that he will lie to keep it up, but I have successfully thwarted every single point of his and have advantages of legality, freedom and the well being of many orphans. Discrimination is a policy that the United States should finally abandon.
