Homosexual acts are immoral

I will use a similar argument used by contradiction in his debate. [1] 1. It is immoral to actively use a faculty against its proper function. 2. Homosexual acts actively use our sexual faculties against their proper function. 3. Therefore, homosexual acts are immoral. Point 1: It is immoral to actively use a faculty against its proper function. A faculty in this situation is the natural ability to commit in a certain action. [2] In this case, sex. So, before we can assume homosexual acts are against this faculty, we must ask what is the purpose of sex. Now, the purpose of sex is quite simple and obvious, sex is where the humans come together and procreate to create another generation of the human race. As stated, intercourse was in the definition, this specifies we are looking for reproductive sex. With this stated, we can assume any successful reproductive sex results in a fertilized egg, which generally leads to a child. The purpose of this faculty is reproduction. Now, before we determine anything we must ask what is working correctly and what corresponds with its proper function. As the example used by contradiction was a heart, [1] I will use another example. The kidney. Now people may classify things differently, like oh I have a bad kidney. Now, why is it called a "bad" kidney? Because it is not fulfilling its proper function. Many things cause a bad kidney, but the only thing that classifies it as bad is if it is not working correctly. The kidney is essential to the urinal system, as if it isn't working your electrolytes and other chemicals may not be working correctly. [4] So, what is a good kidney? If it is working correctly, fulfilling its NATURAL and PROPER function, then it can be classified as a good kidney. Now, how does this relate to homosexual intercourse? Simple, actually. As we can classify things as "good" or "bad", off of proper function, we can assume things "good" or "bad" in sexual life due to proper function. The proper function of intercourse is to attempt to create children, homosexuals cannot create children when there are commuting intercourse. My opponent may claim artificial insemination, but if he argues this it would not even apply to the resolution as this requires a doctor, or another generally not in intercourse. So, with this being said, we could classify homosexual acts are immoral. Another example contradiction used was a car, [1] I will provide a second example as well, a bicycle. We can also classify a bicycle good or bad, it is good if it moves forward when you pedal and the two wheels work correctly to propel you forward. We can call it bad if it does not work in the motion of bringing you to point A or B. The bike is good if it fulfills is faculty or bad if it does not. This, like above, applies to this in the same way. As homosexual acts to not fulfill the faculty, we can assume homosexual acts can be classified as bad. I will also use the same example as contradiction, medicine. [1] The point of a medicine is to heal, but heal to what? It is made to restore health. [5] Now we must ask why is it important to have good health? This applies to this argument, as well, through the faculty argument. If we are unhealthy, "bad", then it is not preforming to the proper function. Like blood pressure pills, if the pressure is to high there is something wrong and it is not fulfilling its proper function, faculty. So we have many emphasizes in our society of proper function, and good and bad. If I prove (2) then we can assume homosexuals are not fulfilling their faculty, and therefore homosexual acts are immoral. Immoral is defined as conflicting with traditional morals. [3] Now, in tradition sex is about reproduction, keep this in mind when we approach the next point. Point 2: Homosexual acts actively use our sexual faculties against their proper function. When committing sexual acts, it is vital we attempt to stay in line with the proper function of sex. The purpose of the organs we have, the ones committed to sexual acts, are made to create offspring in which the human race can flourish. This is the reasoning we obtain these organs. This is the purpose of sex. Now, are homosexuals actively breaking the purpose of sex? Yes, they are. When a homosexual has sex, they do it for love as well as pleasure. Although heterosexuals too use these reasons to have sex, they can still complete the goal of creating new children. Now, back to the are they actively breaking/going against the proper function, faculty, or purpose of sex? Now, as stated the main reason they do it is love, and they know when they have sex with a fellow homosexual they will not create kids in their acts and normal routine. So, they may not fully know they are doing this, they know they will not create offspring while having sex. So, they are having sex and actively going against its purpose as they know they will not create children. Now, lets use an example. As contradiction used fast food [1], I will use coca cola. The purpose of drinking is to quench thirst, so with this information most sodas will actually go against this purpose as they dehydrate. This is also a refutation to the pleasure argument, as my opponent may claim this is the purpose of sex. This is false, although drinking coke, for example, has pleasure to it, it does not fulfill the purpose of drinking: hydration. C: HOMOSEXUAL ACTS ARE IMMORAL _________ [1] http://www.debate.org...
