Gay marriage should be legalized in the United States of America.

Alright let's start Round 2. Ding, ding! The Fourteenth Amendment (Equal Protection Clause) -This specifically mentioned marriage. The definition of marriage is between a man and a woman. To make this applicable you must first change the definition of marriage which I explained why we shouldn't above. Topicality -Alright but if you make a point expect me to address it. It's common sense. Natural Behavior Justification -When did I say anything about violence? Show me where I said violence. Leviticus 20:13 -Um, ok I don't remember saying anything about this either but… -How do you know it wasn't inspired by God? Were any of us there to see it written? No. This was necessary in the tribes of Israel to keep the culture alive and healthy. If anyone was unclean from a wrongdoing that person must die for making the whole culture unclean. -You're right the Jews were the children of Israel. This applied to them. However it is reiterated in the New Testament so it is still wrong. -This was also necessary to keep a unique culture among the Israelites. Round haircuts were probably significant about something bad at the time (kind of like the mohawk although this isn't bad necessarily) and to play with the skin of a pig you had to kill a pig which was their precious livestock. Neither of these are reiterated so it no longer applies. Romans 1:24 – 27 -I am sure that in this condemnation that Paul is including that, but the text does not state that this is what the focus of the text is. This text is a condemnation of men having sex with men and women with women. -You're assuming that God created people gay. If this was true He would have openly announced it so as to avoid any confusion. The assumption that the writers of the Bible had no knowledge of gay as a gene is to say God had no knowledge of this. This is false. -Judging is being cruel to another for no reason. I am not being cruel. "How dare you twist a message from God for your own personal benefit to spread hate!" -How dare you accuse me of something I didn't even say! I didn't even mention the Bible before you did. You Being A Jerk -I'm sorry you feel this way libertarian. I don't think you're a jerk. -I'm not judging you! If I was judging you my argument would be like this: "You sick, ignorant, fool. How could you go against the Bible! etc." -We aren't twisting. The Bible says homosexuality is wrong as I showed. My sources -I know that. It doesn't make them correct though. Scientific Consensus -Are you feeling all right libertarian? I…NEVER…DID…THIS!!!! Stop accusing me of things I never did or said! And just because it is a consensus doesn't make it right. People once thought the earth was flat, and at the center of the universe. From the Comment Box -I don't choose. The Christians of the New Testament do. Homosexuality is reiterated in the New Testament so it is applicable. Round haircuts and skins of pigs aren't. Gay Parents -Alright if you say so. That "if not better" thing really irked me though. The sites you provided had evidence that they can take care of kids just as well. (claps) I of course said this as well. However I stand by my original belief. And if it brought about less orphans why would they go in the surrogate business. And what's wrong with orphans? They can be adopted by good people. Gays have equal loving relationship. -Are you saying ALL of them do? I gave the promiscuity argument above. There's a first time for everything. -I know. Show these sources, -A lot of these sites says it's "too early to tell" about the statistics of gay marriage. http://search.yahoo.com... pureloveclub.com -No. If you read the link it showed a poll of gays promiscuity rates. Don't change the meaning of the Bible [like Liberals]. -I'm sure some do. But bottom line if the person is a good Christian they won't change the Bible meanings. Gay marriages are like dog and plant marriages. -What about a man and a dog loving each other? Shoudn't they be allowed to get married? And children and grown men? What about them? This was the example I was using. "It is possible to love a person outside of marriage. -I should have made my point more clear. I meant if two people love each other there should be no need for marriage. I'm challenging the fact of how many gays actually love each other. Gays tend to have high levels of promiscuity. -If it's a stereotype how come I found statistics on it? You failed to disprove it. -Yet you fail to disprove it. Just because something's biased doesn't make it unreliable. Here's the definition of bias. http://dictionary.reference.com... Using these definitions neither of our sources are biased. -My point is if they have promiscuity should they get married in the first place since some of them can't hold partners. This goes for any straights too. People with high promiscuity shouldn't get married. Psychologists can predict if a child will be gay in preschool. -How? Just because someone acts different doesn't mean they're gay! It's a stereotype in most cases. And this could be proof that since they didn't spend a lot of time with they're same-sex parent they don't see how men/women are supposed to act. Most kids have a great relationship with their parents in preschool. -Some kids are abused everyday from birth on up. How do you rationalize this? Homosexuality is at least in part biological. -Then tell me when they discover the gay gene please. 30 years and counting… "If the patient requests for you to see -Your link didn't show what the issue was. I was talking about people seeing each other in hospitals. Gays will inherit money from spouses like in straight families -It's not different. If someone mentions you in their will it is no different. -This is why I advocate against estate tax. So things like this don't happen. Adopting kids does not make kids' lives better -Why do you say orphanages are crowded and uncaring. The mere fact that an orphanage is there makes it caring. And how many orphanages are crowded? -Why? You failed to disprove it. XXII. -If you looked at my link it showed it's good if parents have male and female roll models. That way they know how to treat their spouse. Where does gay marriage end? -What about dogs and humans? Both can love each other so why not? What about pedophiles? If you wanted to marry an adult and the law forbids it why would that be wrong? It's obvious not everyone should marry who or what ever they want. I don't know any gays that don't support gay marriage. http://www.rabble.ca... http://theosebes.blogspot.com... http://www.bbc.co.uk... http://www.classicalvalues.com... http://www.gaysdefendmarriage.com... The Greeks were a bisexual society. -This has nothing to do with my point. I said gay societies. XXVI. There are not ex-gays. -Change is hard for anything. Why do you think it's so hard for alcoholics to quit? I have some arguments though: 1.It depends on the organization you're using. If you go into an organization that "forces" people to turn straight they will have little success if at all. If one of them teaches love it is a lot easier to cooperate with them. 2.0% is a big claim. I've read stories about people who became straight. It is possible. 3.Here is a statistic. www.christianpost.com/article/20070915/29318_Ex-Gay_Study:_'Conversion'_is_Possible.htm I NEVER SAID A GAY GENE! I said it has proved to be natural. -How can something be natural if it's not in their genes. That's like saying "just because I said red doesn't mean I'm referring to color." And you didn't answer the question. LOOK AT THE COMMENTS
