Gay Rights

"Nothing bad would happen.What will happen, that is so harmful to society? If so does that mean we should ban ALL things that cause events that are harmful?"Letme answer the questions in there before fully refuting the statement. 1. We should not ban everything that is harmul, only things that are detrimental to a society as a whole. Gay mamages the society, that will be explained next.2, Many things bad would happen. I will explain a few of them.a. The divorce rate in America for first marriage, vs second or third marriage 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce adding gay marriage would add on to that mess, further weakening the institution of marriage. http://www.divorcerate.org...b. AIDSGay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM)1 represent approximately 2% of the US population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV and are the only risk group in which new HIV infections have been increasing steadily since the early 1990s. In 2006, MSM accounted for more than half (53%) of all new HIV infections in the United States, and MSM with a history of injection drug use (MSM-IDU) accounted for an additional 4% of new infections. At the end of 2006, more than half (53%) of all people living with HIV in the United States were MSM or MSM-IDU. Since the beginning of the US epidemic, MSM have consistently represented the largest percentage of persons diagnosed with AIDS and persons with an AIDS diagnosis who have died.http://www.cdc.gov...So gays have a high % of aids, and letting them marry uld actually increase the number of aids patients because since thy have a 50% divorce rate, they can spre to their next spouse. c. ChristiansAmerica is still mostly chrisian, and allowing gay marriage would royally make them mad. Here's why christians anti-gay: Genesis 19 (Sodom and Gomorrah) Leviticus 18:22 Romans 1:17-32 1 Corinthians 6:9-13 (and 1 Timothy 1:9-14)The reason I have not spelled it out is because most people know what are in these verses. "Right to happiness.If gay people want to marry, so be it. It would be illegal to ban gay people marrying."There is no right to happiness in out constitution any law. Also it is not illegal to ban gays from marrying because we do it now. It law is illegal then why is it still there? So that point is false. "Christian stuffGay people could be an atheist. Would it be good ethics to apply Christian rules one atheist? "Well your christian stuff is against the bible, and my christian stuff. Since you want christian rules to apply then gay marriage should be illegal. So you just fed my argument. C1: Is against religeonAlreadexplainedC2: They have more of a chance to have AIDSWell I explained that their group of people has a lot of aids infections in it, but I will explain in more detail. In 2007, MSM were 44 to 86 times as likely to be diagnosed with HIV compared with other men, and 40 to 77 times as likely as women. So 44 times more likely to get aids if you have sex with men. wow.From 2005–2008, estimated diagnoses of HIV infection increased approximately 17% among MSM.So their infection rate is on the rise. http://www.cdc.gov...C3: Same sex couple have no right to marrigeIn no american law (that has been accepted in all the states), in our conitution, and in international law there is no right to marriage. And most societys accept that fact. For more info: http://www.cpjustice.org...C4: It is not naturalSince it is not natural to marry a dog, that concept shoul dbe illegal. That same rule applies to gays. A. Dean Byrd, PhD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Utah School of Medicine, wrote the following statement in his May 27, 2001 article titled "The Innate-Immutable Argument Finds No Basis in Science," available on the The National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) website Narth.com: "There is no support in the scientific research for the conclusion that homosexuality is biologically determined."So biologically it is not natural. Citizens for Community Values, a non-governmental organization, wrote the following opinion in "The Homosexual Issue: Where Do We Stand - and Why?," published on its website CCV.org (accessed Feb. 27, 2008): "It should be noted here also that homosexuality is not genetic. This false claim has been repeated so often and so loudly that a disturbing majority of the public has accepted it as truth. Absolutely no research supports this claim. To the contrary, thousands of people have overcome this desire, have withdrawn from homosexual behavior and have gone on to enjoy fulfilling heterosexual relationships." Same thing. Also another argument used by pro gay marriage crowd is that their hypothalmus is smaller, false. William Byne, MD, PhD, Director of the Laboratory of Neuroanatomy and Morphometrics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, wrote in his 1995 article "Science and Belief: Psychobiological Research on Sexual Orientation," published in the Journal of Homosexuality, that: "The search for anatomical sex differences in the brain has a long history of producing results that were consistent with the researchers' biases but were ultimately discredited by their inability to be replicated... Even though reports of structural sex differences abound, the only structural sex difference in the human brain that has proven to be consistently replicable is the dimorphism in its overall size, which is large in men; the extent to which this difference is simply in proportion to the sex difference in body size is controversial."So studies that say this are controversial, and have no proof. He is skeptical, and thinks their false. This concludes my case as of now, I will add on to it, keep refuting yours, and add more contention most likely next round.
