The United States of America should legalize Homosexual Marriage

I do not ignore the truth when I infer it is not FACT that homosexuality is a natural orientation. Actually, the three most "reliable" studies right now of whether gays are born that way were conducted by homosexuals [1]. The scientific data did not follow suit with other researches and were therefore flawed, but media typically do not explain the methodological flaws in these studies, and they typically oversimplify the results. The media is one of the main reasons, in my standard opinion, that homosexuality in society is the way it is currently, and it has morphed peoples' views on the subject for the worst over the last few decades. It is an opinion made by many scholars, and it's not just me whom believes marriage between two humans of the same gender shouldn't be legal. Yet, in many parts of the western world, homosexual couples receive the same recognition as heterosexual couples with regard to social security benefits. Since other groups who have been discriminated against (such as women, blacks and the disabled) have been given equal opportunity, homosexuals claim that they, too, should be liberated. [2] Because I believe God created all matter and that He rules all, I also firmly believe in His Word. The Bible significantly helps explain the mystery of time and existence, but it starts with the seemingly simple apparatus of the first humans who ever walked earth. These first two humans happened to be two genders, and all we know is that there are two genders because of reproduction. (Although evolution is a different topic, I would like to add that the Bible has much validity. Without God there is no good explanation as to why creatures exist on this planet to reproduce and multiply generations. Furthermore, the Theory of Evolution certainly doesn't explain the beginning or meaning of life, and the Bible does logically). So, taken from Genesis 1, we know that the man and the woman were there for the purpose of filling the earth with more humans, and there is obviously a reason it was "Adam and Eve," not "Adam and Steve." [3] With that being said, I would like you to contemplate what the Bible and Christ, the Author, states about the harms and transgressions included in the events of homosexuality. Our main influence for wanting to break tradition and have a new rally blow up for 'rights' is the media and society's demands, whatever humankind does is erroneous compared to the perfect Lord God's ways. If our Creator tells us that homosexuality is wrong, why would I believe some wavering and unreliable studies? Rebuttals It's not offensive for me to make a claim of truth-seeking. Since it is merely an opinion to believe homosexuals don't have a choice, Pro didn't refute my claim, he just went by telling me I'm blatant. But I would still say it is actually quite hilarious that two people of the same gender can't just be friends and love each other, like how do they have "sex"? and what is the purpose of legal weddings and making it such a big deal for everyone who does not have that supposed orientation? The statistics say that only about 2 percent of Americans are actually labelled "homosexual." Then there's the 98% who are either annoyed by all the petitioning, strongly against the practice of homosexuality, or on the pro side of "gay rights." No matter what, though, a very small minority is putting a big dent in the rest of us--on the media and news--and getting into the rest of ours business so to make themselves known. About my previous analogy concerning gays and animals. I didn't necessarily mean literally. I was simply trying to show you how vacuous and strange the whole idea of homosexual marriage is. But Pro has yet to refute my analogy. I would like to say also that, when you call homosexuality "not a choice," you are devaluing the homosexuals to animals because you tell them they don't have any control over their decisions and feelings. A person becomes a homosexual ultimately by choosing to be involved in same-sex activity. This is in contrast to innate characteristics such as gender and ethnicity. If gay marriage is the equivalent to rights pursuit of interracial marriage, what does it say about genders? It is scientifically proven that race doesn't matter, especially in marriage. If homosexual marriage becomes the norm, are you saying that genders won't matter at all, either? How is it correct to have the urge of sex with someone the same gender as me? Please explain. I had said how gay sex spreads the risk of disease and how gays can sue anybody who opposes their point of view for big money. It's not safe and it's unfair. Pro said it was irrelevant. Do I have to explain to him how this changes whether homosexuality should be legalized or not? Pro said "Homosexual marriage improves the economy." His back-up argument for this was very weak, and you could say mine is too, but this is because it's a matter of opinion on whether the children brought up by "gay parents" are good and helps "improve economy." Conclusion: A lot of what my opponent "refuted" was attacks on my point of view, not the argument, thus his rebuttals were fallacious and invalid. But, for what he did argue based on real arguments, I believe I have firmly refuted them. Thank you, Pro.
