Gay Marriage

Without evidence there is NO argument to debate! You simply made up a bunch of claims and tried to pass it off as factual and logical information. You had FIVE ample opportunities to support yourself and you did NOT do that. Your arguments were flawed and repetitive. What do expect me to do? I cannot rebut an argument if there is NO argument in the first place. "All my arguments are arguments from logic, and what the government"s role in society should extend to." Yet there is no logic on your side at all. You keep saying "the government's role in marriage..." when you don't even know WHAT marriage is. I have made it clear MULTIPLE times that this "family unit" argument is invalid because having children is NOT a requirement in marriage. Not only that, YOU DID NOT even provide evidence to support that claim. For example, you keep saying... "the government is only interested in relationships that have a direct link it the family unit, because they naturally have children out of sexual intercourse, which is the ultimate way of physically expressing your love for an individual." This is nothing but made up, biased propaganda. Because according to the most recent of scientific, psychological and sociological studies, NONE of what you said is truthful. Children raised by gay couples are no better or worse than children raised by heterosexual couples, so this "direct link to the family unit" rubbish is NOT factual, at all. The gender of the parent is irrelevant when raising children... What does the fact that I came out of my mother's vagina have to do with the fact that she loves me? Why is the fact that my father has a penis important when raising me? Again, what about heterosexual couples who adopt children? Do they not love their children because they are not biologically theirs? There are so many flaws in your argument and you continuously contradict yourself. Here is a good example of the obvious flaws in your argument, you claim... "After all, marriage is a dedication to true love (Whether they fulfill this dedication or not is irrelevant), and children produced through this dedication to love are going to be raised in a good, healthy environment." Are homosexuals not capable of loving each other? Are homosexuals not capable of dedication? Not only that, but why is it not relevant whether or not straight parents fulfill their dedication? Basically what you are saying is, "it doesn't matter if straight parents LOVE each other or their children, as long a they are straight it doesn't matter." This is a perfect example of bias in your argument. Here is a validated study from Boston University which proves that what you say is not the truth... I will also include a video for better explanation. http://www.bu.edu... Would you like the opinion of a medical professional? http://www.webmd.com... http://www.youtube.com... Now where is your EVIDENCE ? Because I have provided plenty. Regardless, having children is STILL NOT a requirement in marriage. So whatever arguments you have in regards to parenting is irrelevant because that is a completely unrelated argument. We are not debating about gay PARENTING, we are debating gay MARRIAGE which are two completely different topics. You claim "It is the government"s job to take action by means of making the society more efficient." What does this have to do with gay people getting married? Absolutely nothing because you made it up like everything else in your argument. "Traditional marriage greatly benefits the efficiency of the society." Gay marriage also benefits society. Why? Because gay couples almost always WANT their children and are almost always mentally, emotionally and financially capable of raising them. More than half of all births between heterosexual parents are accidental. And more often than not, they are not mentally, emotionally, and financially capable of raising their children which is why so many kids are given up for adoption by their biological heterosexual parents. Gay people almost always CHOOSE to be parents and are more mentally and financially prepared to raised their kids on average. Speaking of adoption, gay parents are also more likely to adopt children who are in desperate need of loving parents. Gay parents are also more likely than heterosexual parents to adopt children over the age of 3, who according to adoption statistics, have the most difficult time getting adopted. Research suggests that gay and lesbian parents are actually a powerful resource for kids in need of adoption. According to a 2007 report by the Williams Institute and the Urban Institute, 65,000 kids were living with adoptive gay parents between 2000 and 2002, with another 14,000 in foster homes headed by gays and lesbians. May I add that there are currently more than 100,000 kids in foster care in the U.S. It's obvious that your argument is so one sided and closed minded that it completely dismisses the needs of innocent children WITHOUT families. To say that only biological parents can raise their children with love and dedication is completely biased and terribly insensitive. http://www.huffingtonpost.com... And now to address this claim... "Therefore it is the government"s job to promote traditional marriage." For the hundredth time, IT IS NOT the government's job to promote "traditional" marriage. Again, you made this up. And now for the best part, you claim... "In the same, this doesn"t tread on the freedoms of anyone, because marriage in itself, is for the love between two people with a special link to children. That is marriage." This is, yet another, LIE. Once AGAIN, marriage has NOTHING to do with having a "special link to children." at all. Marriage is a LEGAL BOND between two people who have agreed through a contract that provides certain benefits that are given to them through the LAW. These benefits include... Practical benefits - Spouses have hospital visitation rights and can make medical decisions in event of illness or disability of their spouse. - Employers offer spouses sick leave, bereavement leave, access to health insurance and pension. - Inheritance rights are provided to a person's spouse regardless of whether or not a will exists. - The right of property distribution, - Child custody and support and spousal support during a case of absent divorce, there is no uniform system for sorting out the ending of a relationship so parents cannot abandon the other without paying child support. Financial benefits - Married couples are permitted to give an unlimited amount of gifts to each other without being taxed. - The right to own property with one another. - Entitlement of financial benefits relating to their spouses, such as disability, pension and social security benefits. - The right to be treated as an economic unit and to file joint tax returns (and pay the marriage penalty), and obtain joint health, home and auto insurance policies. - When a spouse dies, there is no need to prove ownership of every item in the household for taxable purposes. Nearly one quarter of all same-gender couples are raising children. So their children are protected through their marriage by law. The parents are entitled to - Joint custody. - Visitation rights upon divorce. As well as hundred more benefits given through marriage. A civil Union is NOT a marriage. http://www.nolo.com... Denying gay couples these rights without logic is discrimination. You cannot argue against same-sex marriage if you don't even know what marriage is or what it's for. You cannot make up things during a debate in attempt to pass it off as factual information WITHOUT evidence. Your argument is biased. Thank you for debating.
