Gay Marriage

Again, I would like to counter your following points, which I have already done so in the post above. A. It's Not a Choice Being born gay just doesn't make sense. Although there is scientific proof that homosexuality can be seen in nature, there is no "homosexual gene." There are also many accounts of people who happen to "turn gay." Simply put, there is no organic base for homosexuality (Article 1). However, I would also like to add that it is just WRONG to harass or judge anyone based on their sexual preferences. I respect all people. For the purpose of this debate, I am going against homosexuality. B. Equality (also I'm going to talk a bit about marriage, which I basically copied form my last post) "Society does not just want acceptance for same sex marriage, they want to redefine marriage. Should it not seem odd that the definition of the institution of marriage, as being between a man and woman, for the past 6000 years is being thrown out for something less than what is natural and stable? The agenda of same sex marriage proponents is to redefine marriage altogether which undermines the most stable form of marriage as being between one man and one woman." Redefining marriage gives way for new definitions of marriage to exist in the future. I like how the author of article 3 states this, "...suppose I were to come along and say: 'My uncle and I [or my aunt and I, or my sister and I, or my mother and I, or my father and I, or my friend and I] live together. We are devoted to each other, but we don"t engage in mutual sexual conduct. We want to get married in order to get the legal benefits of marriage that affect property rights, taxes, insurance and the like.' (Article 3) It might come quite negative at first, but eventually the government might allow a law that newly defines marriage as any type of bond that benefits both partners legal stuff, insurance, and etc. Later, one could marry their father or mother. Once this law is passed, what might happen to society's view on polygamy? Later on, marriage might be defined as a union between three or MORE people. The last point the author made, "Proponents of same-sex marriages want to unlink marriage from reproduction and have the laws legalize their friendship because it is a friendship, not because it is procreative. But once the state legalizes one kind of friendship, it cannot stop at that; it will have to legalize any and all friendships for which legalization is sought." ^ this also contradicts what you said about marriage and procreation. C. Separation of Church and State Yes, there is a separation of Church and State. Yes, the Church and the State will have different laws. However, both agree on one thing: the laws of nature. Going back on what I said about marriage, marriage IS a bond between man and woman and has been like that for over 6000 years. D. Adoption Increase Homosexuality does not offer the stability of a traditional family (2). Adoption increase in homosexual relationships is actually extremely rare. Also, another point I would like to add is research has proved that in gay relationships, there is a stronger chance of infidelity against their other partner. Eight Outcomes from children being raised in homosexual families: -Are much more likely to have received welfare (IBF 17%; LM 69%; GF 57%) -Have lower educational attainment -Report less safety and security in their family of origin -Report more ongoing "negative impact" from their family of origin -Are more likely to suffer from depression -Have been arrested more often -If they are female, have had more sexual partners--both male and female (article 2) Well, this concludes by rebuttals.
