Gay Marriage should be illegal

:DI will be arguing against Gay Marriage and you will be supporting it. Now on to my arguments. Government has a role in marriage, but the role should be limited - “There is a limited role for Government in marriage, but it needs to draw the line somewhere. Drawing the line, at the union of a man and a women is a common sense place to draw this line” We cannot now, or in the future to continually change the definition of marriage. Through absoute human logic and reason, we can see that the utmost basic defition of marriage, would be between a man and woman. Imagine what the next push would be after gay marriage were to be legalized; people would start pushing for polyamy, bestiality, pedophilia, ect. - “the state's granting marriage licenses only to opposite-sex couples is based on the nature of marriage and does not constitute unjust discrimination. ” There is no discrimination against gays when only having marriage between a man and a women, just as there is no discrimination against a man who wts to have multiple wives and ect. - “The state grants a license to do X only to someone presumptively capable of doing X. It is no more unjust discrimination to deny marriage licenses to couples of the same sex than to twelve-year olds, to those already married, or to poly amorous groups of three or more sexual partners: in each case, the license is denied simply because the individuals in question are unable to form with each other the kind of union that marriage is. " “This is because marriage, properly understood, is between one man and one woman. As I have argued, only the conjugal conception of marriage is able to justify the state's involvement in marriage. ” "Homosexuals have no more and no less rights than heterosexuals. The idea of any inequality existing in terms of rights is balderdash. Moreover, civil unions offer the same benefits of traditional marriages. Homosexuals are NOT segregated, nor are they given less rights. "What are the benefits? They can have all the rights of marriage except for the name. A couple does not need marriage to be happy, comfortable, and free. "The Moral ArguementNatural Law: "When the term 'natural' is used it means the proper function for a given being. Natural law dictates morality based on what is natural for beings capable of reason and rationality. I contend that homosexual actions are immoral because they do not correspond with the proper function of the sexual organs being used. "Just to get it out of the way, many responses to natural law go along the lines of, "Well airplanes are against natural law because if humans were supposed to fly they would have been born with wings. " The reason the above statement does not apply is because it is not a moral issue. Natural law goes more along the lines of human reasoning being able to know what is "right" and is "wrong". Natal law does not apply to being that cannot reason or rationalize, because one must be able to reason for Natural Law to truly exist. The purpose of sexual organs is to procreate and we know their existance is explained by their purpose. "Homosexual actions are immoral because they are contrary to our nature and are associated with physical and mental illnesses that one has control over with the establishment of the framework. "I look forward to my opponents response!
