Gay People Should Have Equal Rights As Straight People Regarding Marriage and Adoption

Okay. I have a few things to say about this topic, And I"ll start off with the fact that I do not 100% disagree with you on this, And I don"t regard homosexual people any less than heterosexual people. One things I do not agree with is them being allowed to get married (specifically married. ) I agree that they should be allowed to adopt children (as long as those children already have no parents) because any parents that are loving and together are better than no parents Now marriage. For many centuries, Marriage has been made as a conscious decision between two people to become unified in a way that would support the benifit and growth of children and each other. This was made between a man and a woman for quite a few reasons. Biologically, And through evolution, The mother and the father of a child have important roles that they need to be filled. A child thrives best in an environment where there are both their biological father and mother. The decision of marriage has never been purely about love, But it has always been a conscious decision for the upraising of offspring. This is, Of course, Not to say that two men, Or two woman, Are the absolute worst environment to raise children, But rather that the best happens to scientifically be a mother and a father (Brown, S. (2010). Marriage and Child Well-Being: Research and Policy Perspectives. Journal of Marriage and Family, 72(5), 1059-1077. Retrieved from http://www. Jstor. Org/stable/40865595). The union between two people of the same sex is simply not the same as the union between a man and a woman. This is not to say that their love is any less than a heterosexual couple (it could just as much be more) just that by calling the union of two people of the same sex "marriage" is simply just not true. Rather we could ulternitavely create these people their own unique type of union, For calling a triangle a three sided square is not truth. By constantly changing this word, "marriage", We a slowly degrading it. The meaning and value of the word has significantly decreased over the years. First the permanency, With the legality of divorce, And now the meaning itself. Just because two people love each other does not mean marriage should occur. For example, Many parents love their own children greatly. . . But parents have never needed to marry their own children. People may love their pets, But don"t marry them either. I"m not denying the fact that two homosexuals love each other greatly, Just why they truely need to get married. The reason it originated as just man and woman is because homosexuals can"t naturally produce offspring (without the use of a third party), And by nature heterosexuals were the ones who really need marriage. Just this fact shows that it"s not just about love, It"s about the thriving of children and the family. Once homosexual marriage is legalised when do we stop? Will we legalise the marriage of three people? Or perhaps that marriage of humans and other animals or plants? If love is love than why can"t this occur? Sometimes just because people love each other does not permit the "right" to marriage. Thank you for reading this and I"m greatly looking forward to debating with you! I"m sure this will be fun!
