Gay Marriage

Public Nudity is banned because many religions, including Christianity and Islam, label it as a sin. As Christianity and Islam have huge areas of influence around the world, any culture allowing Public nudity would be condemned by the religion with the most influence. Christianity heavily affects western law so that's why Gay Marriage was banned for so long. Personally I think public nudity should be allowed in where I live, Britain, because if people want to go in public naked than that's their choice. I don't particularly understand your second paragraph. Lots of people who are against gay marriage are also against members of the LGBT community serving in the armed forces, which is literally denying rights to people based on their sexuality- almost the dictionary definition of discrimination (discrimination: treating a person or particular group of people differently, especially in a worse way from the way in which you treat other people, because of their skin colour, sex, sexuality, etc.: ). Your point about if two men want to marry it wouldn't be 'marriage' is stupid- Marriage, in the western world, is this: legally accepted relationship between two people in which they live together, or the official ceremony that results in this. If you ban two adult consenting people from marrying because they share the same gender, then it is similar to banning people two consenting adults of the same gender- unfair and Immoral. Your third paragraph makes no sense as well. I think paedophilia should be banned, like every other functioning society. And unlike being gay, paedophilia is illegal in the USA. Also, 99.99% percent of the time, a child wouldn't consent to marring an adult, and no one in their right mind would force their child to do it, so my logic is perfectly intact. Also, your point about the pope is also stupid- Global warming has the threat to wipe out the human race entirely, no it is a national security crisis. And your point about the pope wanting to let in 'Hundreds of thousands of terrorists' is retarded- nearly every immigrant let into Europe has no affiliation with a terrorist group at all. And I haven't heard any news stories about the pope saying that we should let in terrorists. Muslims maybe, but if you have half a brain cell you know that there is a difference between a Muslim and a terrorist. I don't understand what you mean when you say 'the environment is never granted the power to define marriage' is confusing. Why would the environment care about human marriages? And the 10th amendment only has influence in the US- lots of other countries have a very different system. And your point about how marriage should be privatised is overruled by the fact that the US supreme court legalised Gay marriage nation-wide- America must follow some rules in every state, and legalised gay marriage should be one of them. Also your point of Gay marriage being ' couple of perverts pay hundreds of dollars for a piece of paper ad that they could pay extra taxes for the rest of their lives' could be applied to traditional marriage. In fact, you're basically calling the idea of traditional marriage, and idea you defended earlier in the argument stupid.
