Gay marriage should be illegal in the US.

First i will be debating i think Gay marriage should be illegal in the US. These are my key debating points to start off - 1.Gay marriage is unnatural - 2.Gay marriage defies religion - 3.Gay marriage is unhealthy First here is the definition of marriage. Marriage- the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law For one marriage has always been interpreted as a guy and girl. This has always been this way. My first point 1. Gay marriage is unnatural. First id like to say gay marriage is unnatural. Gay couples cannot reproduce together so this in a way is defiant to nature. This point it short but it speaks for itself. 2. Gay marriage defies religion. Gay marriage is not accepted in the bible or by God. This debate you almost have to bring in religion because these views are what matter most often. You cannot call religion an invalid argument due to the fact that marriage does require a preacher. Now on with my point. Here are some examples of verses in the bible about God not acceptig homosexuality. Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. Romans 1:26-27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their woman did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And like wise the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another: men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet I could mention more but i think everyone gets the point. Now it is ungodly to have a preacher preform a gay marriage ceremony that goes against his God. This matters because our country was founded on christian principles. Do i need proof? Sure. Take the pledge of allegiance and original songs that were used in older times that mention God. The pledge pretty much lets you know that "yes we Americans did use this pledge not only as our pledge but as a reference to the founding fathers. 3. Gay marriage is unhealthy. Gay marriage is unhealthy because it leads to more STDs and HIV then regular heterosexual couples Common sexual practices among gay men lead to numerous STDs and physical injuries, some of which are virtually unknown in the heterosexual population. Lesbians are also at higher risk for STDs. In addition to diseases that may be transmitted during lesbian sex, a study at an Australian STD clinic found that lesbians were three to four times more likely than heterosexual women to have sex with men who were high-risk for HIV. it is well established that there are high rates of psychiatric illnesses, including depression, drug abuse, and suicide attempts, among gays and lesbians. This is true even in the Netherlands, where gay, lesbian and bisexual (GLB) relationships are far more socially acceptable than in the U.S. Depression and drug abuse are strongly associated with risky sexual practices that lead to serious medical problems. http://factsaboutyouth.com... Thats my source. Now you may say "ok, so homosexuals have sex with each other as long as its not with me then thats fine i wont get an STD." I also want to inform you that bisexuals could have gay sex, Male/Male, or Female/Female, then go have sex with someone of the opposite sex potentially threatening there life. These are my arguments as stated. My overview: Gay marriage should be illegal because it is unhealthy, unnatural, and against Godly views and should not be allowed as there is nothing they gain from Gay marriage. I wish my opponent luck in the next round and i did not state many points because im hoping my opponent will address them so i have something to rebuttal thank you.
