Gay Marriage

First I will highlight your misinterpretation of my argument, then I will dispute errant and inconclusive arguments you have made that do not make logical sense to me. Misinterpretation (strawman): Gay sex is a hurdle to the reproductive capacity of the human species and stunts population growth. Rebuttal: This proposition was never made. It was said that the evolutionary purpose of sex is reproduction and that same sex intercourse deviates from thIs Darwinian standard. To say otherwise is to deny the biological differences between males and females and how these differences are crucial for viable offspring to be birthed. Arguments lacking substance: 1. Reproduction was critical for the survival of the human species near its evolutionary origin. Since we are currently facing overpopulation a lower rate of reproduction is ideal. Gay sex does not add any new mouths to feed hence gay marriages actually contribute to an already saturated system with finite resources. This argument is made in ignorance of human nature. Human instinct drives human beings to sought ways to reproduce naturally yielding biological offspring. There is an abundance of both gay men and women who have biological children simply based on preference. A marriage contract between gay partners does in no way imply the lack of biological offspring. In the abundance of cases where gay and bisexual parents have biological offspring the child is either deprived of a maternal or paternal figure. On average such children suffer psychologically and tend to propagate their problems on society at large once they hit adulthood. Fallacious argument: Legal sanctioning of gay marriages can only be good. Rebuttal: As a population the human species is like an organism. It is in constant flux and has to balance philosophies and informational memes that are embedded within and are represented by a number of entities ranging in scale from nations, large corporations, supreme courts, families to states, franchises, municipal courts and indeed human beings. These embedded memes, creeds, legacies and philosophies are the very scaffold on which modern society is built. The embedded philosophy behind lobbyists for gay marriage is the same around the globe. It advertises itself as an agent of change yet underhandedly seeds a nihilistic perception of life by demanding equal privileges and entitlements as the those who can naturally produce viable offspring. This is a perverse and unbalanced philosophy that if adopted serves to undermine the legal definition of marriage. Self entitled privileges granted to a same sex union that can neither produce viable offspring nor provide both maternal and paternal counseling is like giving a permanently blind person a telescope for his/her birthday. Argument lacking substance: 20 million children without a mother or father lack a versatile mind according to me. Popular celebrities that are orphans or hail from single parent families, proves that maternal and paternal care and insight is not essential for an infants development and maturation. Rebuttal: I can assure you the lack of a maternal or paternal figure only adds to the troubles and tribulations of these children. If these kids grow up to be celebrities it is a credit to their immense mental or physical fortitude. There are certain things and insights that are unique to either males or females. Heterosexual parents will obviously provide their son/daughter with both sides of the coin rather than giving them a biased and asymmetrical view of the world. Fallacious argument: Gay parents do a favor to federally financed foster homes by taking orphans and abandoned children into their care. Rebuttal: Let me be clear here: I have nothing against gay partners adopting a boy and raising him. I just believe that sterile heterosexual parents would raise an adopted child in a relatively more symmetric way (better). This critical difference between heterosexual coupling and homosexual coupling is why they should never be mistaken as 'equal.' For example: A biological mother (in most mammals) is naturally and instinctively more protective of her neonacent offspring. This unconditional love cannot be replicated in a homosexual man who adopts some one else's biological child. This is just one of the many ways gay marriage upsets the natural order.
