DDO Tier Tournament 2 (Round 1): Homosexuality Is Immoral!

This is disappointing, if I had known I would be trolled I would not have spent one hour and a half trying to find resources, going through books, and writing my argument. In any case I will reply formally and give my rebutals:1. "First of all gay people luv each over and you have no right to tell them that they canot get marred just because yor ancient book says so you are being a homofobe and yor beliefs do not belong in the Untied States were everyone is free and equel."Lets start by clearing up the fact that this entire argument is in favour of gay marriage, not morality. This argument is a legal one, not a philosophical one. In any case we are not discussing whether gays should have permission to marry, we are discussing whether homosexuality is moral. The argument asserts, nonetheless, that since gay people love each other they should be married. That is not a proper argument because one could very well say if a parent loves his daughter they should have the right to get married, or in the case of polygamy if a man/woman loves more than one spouse they should get married. The argument is vague and distasteful and Crescendo fails to connects it properly to our resolution. Secondly he accuses me of using arguments from "ancient books" when I believe all the books I quoted are at best 300 years old, if not less. If he is referring to religious books then he should clarify how I used a religious book, for I quoted nothing from the Quran, Bible or even the Zend Avesta. Also these ancient books were connected by me, through rational argumentation to the resolution. I also made use of evolution, a fairly new concept. My opponent then goes on to avow that I am a homophobe. The meaning of homophobia is: "Homophobia encompasses a range of negative attitudes and feelings toward homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay,bisexual or transgender (LGBT). It can be expressed as antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, or hatred, may be based on irrational fear, and is sometimes related to religious beliefs."[23] In any case as my beliefs are put into question it is sufficient if I testify. I certainly do not have contempt or hatred for any homosexual, and I find them to be average human being, however I believe, not because of irrational fear, but because of reason that homosexuality is immoral, therefore I am not a homophobe. This was in any case ad hominem from my opponent. The next problem in his argument is that he brings up the United States, this debate is not limited in any way to the United States of America, the motion is universal. Also it is important to realize that since we are discussing morality, a direct link of equality is not made. Equality before the law is ignorant of ethical perceptions.

Secund of all homosexuality is not a choice do you think they choose embraces a lifestyle that makes them bulled by evil homofobes like you Muslins and you Cristians it's natural and you need to stop being a bigets.This is the first even mildly rational argument I come across, it is however only a pseudo-argument. My opponent begins by asserting that homosexuality is not a choice, he provides, sadly, no evidence for this claim. Also even if his claim is valid, how and why does it connect to the resolution? In any case homosexuality is not forced upon people because the "gay gene" which is Xq28 accounts for: a. only 25% to 30% of choice, this is easily beat by nurture. Secondly homosexuality is not an instinct, (see my argument, and Freuds reference) it is a secondary precept of nature. Lust is the driving instinct, a same sex male is only the objects which is fixated by that lust, as our argument already shows that lust is established to further the human race it follows that homosexuality cannot be natural in human beings. That aside the gay gene has not yet been found, an area has been found where the gay gene could exist, which means that there is a probability it exists, however there is no conclusive evidence. Next my opponent talks about gays being bullied, which I never endorsed and I never did. Even in a troll debate I find this offensive. In any case I am not a bigot and it is rude to insinuate such. 3. "Therd of all strait people get marred all the time why are you tellings gay people that they canot get marred do you think their inferior but they are people to and its called marriage equelity so you should stop standing in the way of their equelity."Again this debate has nothing to do with marriage, marriage is irrelevant here. This debate is regarding whether homosexual activity ought to be. Nor did I ever state that gay people are inferior to others, and again your marriage equality argument does not stand. 4."Checkmate you bigets!!!!"I hope your happy, you made a mockery of the Tier Tounrmant.
