Same-sex Marriage

First, I would like to congratulate my opponent for such a great debate! I thought that this was gonna be easy. Cudos to the pro. But it's time to deliver the kill blow. Rebuttal 1: If gays really want their rights, they should stay where it is allowed. They could expand civil union rights a lot more. Yet, they choose to interfere with marriage. You can easily expand civil unions, yet you choose not to! Again, expand civil union rights. That way, employers will recognize that. Also, the gay partner can get a job, and earn the same benefits. Even a part time job will get you a lot of benefits! Again, marriage is just a title. This is based on personal interpretation. What about the straights that don't want gays in their ceremony of matrimony. Which in many religions, is the MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF THEIR LIFE! Again, pro forgets about the 50% of straights that view marriage as sacred. Even divorced people have emotionally scarred when they get a divorce. Rebuttal 2: You still could not refute my other 2 links. So, I think I have proved my point. Rebuttal 3: Gays make bad parents. I see no need to refute that. You see. They are animals and have primitive minds. They just want to quench their sexual desire. That is why we are different compared to animals. We can make rational, contious, decisions! Again, animals can not be entirely gay. If they were, their species would die off. Rebuttal 4. I would accept this as a mistake, but you centered your argument on it. If you didn't mean to post, then you would not have centered a whole argument on it! Do not lie. Rebuttal 5. The difference is gay marriage will have a negative effect on the economy. (check my previous arguments) to many people, it is morally wrong, and they could easily expand the rights of civil unions! Those groups deserved the freedom. This will do everybody but gays bad. If it is for the USA, 5% is commanding the 45% of people who oppose it. You forget, you said 55% of the population wants gay marriage. 5% of those are gay. So technically, 50% of straights don't want gay marriage. You forget, there are a lot of atheist and other religions in the USA that don't care. So, the majority of the people supporting it are probably not Christian. Rebuttal 7: Then where are your sources refuting my previous statement. Common sense and previous arguments of mine states these are the reasons. I have proved this statement correct. Rebuttal 8: If my stations aren't credible, how are yours. I have not heard of half of your sources. How do I know your sources are valid? They have solid proof. Your only source is saying only that two parents are better than one. That is so invalid it makes my head spin! I would also like to see where you found it to be with republicans. That statement is invalid. Again, where is your proof that they would not want the kids to be gay or lesbian. Before you attack my statements, provide a link. Common sense dictates that they would want their child to be gay or lesbian. Rebuttal 9: I dealt with this. My links confirm being gay is a choice. Rebuttal 10: Dealt with this too. Rebuttal 11: Of course. Call me a coward because you can not refute it. Please. If you are going to go to insults, change your username to insulting mind. Rebuttal 12: No need to rebut. Rebuttal 13: I did not concede! Again, another lie. Rebuttal 14: Exactly! We are talking about America. At least, that is what you said in your previous argument. I have proved you lied and meant to post your link. Rebuttal 15: I meant would not effect them positively. Again, you fail to refute this. I dealt with this in the previous arguments. Ladies and gentleman, I have proved: Gay marriage would have a negative effect on the economy Civil unions can and are just as powerful as marriage They would not have a positive impact! Thank you all for reading!
