Gay Marriage

I do apologize for calling you a male. I had not read your profile."One: Does a marriage have to benefit society? I see no law, no rule that says: Marriage must benefit society."This is because there are no laws about marriage. The federal government does not need to be involved in marriage and state governments should not have to interfere in it either. That is why they simply keep homosexuality illegal and way interfere with marriage and change laws. "If marriage is just for procreation, then what happens if a male or female in the relationship is infertile? Does that mean they're not benefiting society either? Should they not be allowed to marry? What if a couple doesn't want to have children? Should they be factored out as well?"Heterosexual marriages in which no children are present still will likely practice safe sex measures. That would mean that are still forming procreative type unions and are benefitting state interests. What the government wants is a climate for procreation and procreative unions so not procreative effect. If gay marriage cannot fulfill procreative type unions then the government has not reason to legalize it. My opponent has not provided the government's look on marriage while I have. I have provided a source proving that it is the government's job is to make laws that benefit society and heterosexuality does. Homosexuality does not. [1]"Gay people take them from the sheltersand bring them into a warm, loving envirnment."My opponent's basic argument here is that homosexuals do want children and love bringing them into a caring environment. This is almost entirely false. The amount of kids that are adopted by gay parents is extremely low. Here is the graph. Most homosexuals simply do not have an urge to become parents. Very few have children. In fact, very few even live with their partners. My opponent then talks about bad heterosexual parents, but in fact that is entirely irrelevant to his debate as it is about legalizing gay marriage. As I said, gay marriages rarely remain intact past 11 years. My opponent argued that you cannot rule heterosexuals. Again, I say I can because we are not debating the legalization of straight marriage. Then my opponent accuses me and people against gay marriage of the reason gays have so many divorces, but in fact this is rather false. Most divorces occur due to what is happening in a relationship. Its not about if people hate you, its about the person you are in a relationship with. If you don't like your relationship with your partner, then you get a divorce and this is typical among homosexual marriages while it is not as much with heterosexual marriages. My opponent has provided no proof that the reason gays divorce is to give up and because people are attacking them.ConclusionMarriages do benefit society by production of new children into society. Procreation is a factor in marriage because the government sees it as a benefit to society. Gay parents rarely take in new children and give them homes. They also are bad role models for numberous divorces and sexual tension while children are present.Voting:Conduct: EqualGrammar: EqualArguments: ConSources: ConSources1. William C.
