Gay marriage should be legalized.

Thanks for replying. I will defend my case from refutations then tell the voters why I am winning this debate.-----Defense."I understand that marriage typically ends in divorce, but this is debate is about the legalization of gaymarriage. whether or not gay marriage is legalized, divorce are still going to happen"By not legalizing gay marriage we would not have to deal with all of these harms that are created by divorce. By outlawing ALL marriage, we wouldn't have to deal with ANY of these harms. I don't understand where you're going with this."When you say this, I assume that you are suggesting that straight marriage should be illegal. In saying this many people would say that this is against tradition. "I am implying that. Tradition shmadition. I didn't use tradtion as a contention, so it doesn't matter to me if it's against tradition. Tradition is often broken."If marriage equality is passed this means that without a doubt people or gay people would still get divorced."Concession to the fact that divorce is not permissible, so by transitive thinking, gay marriage is not, either." The legal rights and benefits of heterosexual couples are completely unaffected by the existence of gay marriage. "That's not really what my contention was about..."These accusations can happen just as much as in a heterosexual marriage as it can happen in a homosexual marriage"Wow. Did you read my source? These 'accusations' do not happen as often happen in a traditional marriage as they do in a homosexual marriage.Re-read my entire contention and read what my source was saying please."It's a fallacy. "My source says that this is not a fallacy."World's largest study on same-sex parents finds kids are healthier and happier than peers."What is the importance of happiness when it is in the midst of drugs, suicide, depression and rape?"[entire argument against contention 3]" If 77% of people in the US, and a lot of people in the world, believe that being gay is not permissable by God or the Bible, then we can honestly tell that it is not permissable. 77% is a large majority, more than the 23% that would be in favor of gay marriage. "I understand that the US can't decide over other countries, but the US influences many other countries since we are a world leader. I'm not saying that the world is going to change overnight, it's going to be gradual. If legalization of gay marriage starts in global leader countries, it will eventually influence other countries to join the legalization of gay marriage. "We have no ability to force Jordan to accept gay marriage, and you never gave the voters any reason why we should make them allow it, so your argument is invalid. Remember, BoP!"Many countries throughout the world have extended equal rights of marriage to same-sex couples. "Many countries also had Jim Crow laws that allowed the legal disenfranchisement of black/colored people. That does not mean that it is morally/societally/ethically permissable."Increase in child adoption "What is the benefit of child adoption when the adopted children are brought into a home life that is destructive to their future?-----Wrap-up:I am winning this debate for the following reasons: my opponent's case has been rendered invalid my opponent's refutations have been rendered invalid my opponent has not met their BoP to prove that the ENTIRE WORLD should allow gay marriage I have proven that at least one nation (USA) should not allow gay marriage, thus negating resolution I have used more and more reliable sources than my opponent excellent conduct (e.g. not calling my opponent out on using a fallacy when they didn't) Thank you again for this debate!
