Gay marriage should remain illegal everywhere

In Response to Two Men Not Being Able to Adequately Support a Teenage GirlAt this point, we are left with a simple problem in how someone interprets the results. The study found no scientific evidence that parenting effectiveness is related to the sexual orientation of a parent. However I do understand your point regarding “effectiveness.” I will leave this specific argument here and end by saying it comes down to the interpretation of “effectiveness.” I agree your claim does not undermine the study, but you bring up a plausible point of interest.In Response to Children Being BulliedAlthough I agree that children are bullied because their parents are gay, this point strays from our basis of argument. We are arguing “about a legal contract that recognizes the two [parents or people] as together.” From my belief, it would be absurd for the government to limit the right to marry due to children being bullied in school even though they would be bullied if the parents were not married. In addition, children are bullied for many other reasons.In Response to a Gay Parent Not Being Able to Relate to a ChildFor the sake of defending this point(and since we have both slightly strayed from the original point), I will continue with a rebuttal. However, I must note again that regardless of who is more correct or convincing here, it shouldn’t have anything to do with a government limiting a marriage. Gay people will form a relationship and possibly have a child under their supervision whether or not they are legally allowed to be noticed via a contract of marriage. In other words, when it all comes down to it, a government ban on gay marriage should not really affect this issue because gay people will still be in a relationship (they just won’t be legally noticed).Even if researched demonstrated that “gay men’s brains resemble those of straight women” and that homosexuality does have an effect on sexual preference, thoughts, and actions, it shouldn’t mean that a man is incapable of successfully raising a child. From my understanding, if it is true that a gay man’s brain resembles that of a straight woman (and according to your argument of course) it would be beneficial to a female child of the gay parents. As for a straight girl being raised by a gay woman, I return to my previous argument. Just because the woman might think differently doesn’t mean they can’t successfully raise the child. I would reconsider my stance on this matter if evidence successfully showed that the different thinking styles of gay parents actually had negative outcomes on how a child was raised.In Response to the Rebuttal of Legalizing Gay Marriage Not Harming Traditional Family ValuesI was simply attempting to make the point that gay marriage wouldn’t harm traditional family values. You stated that traditional marriage is of Christian origin. Now let’s turn to the United States where gay marriage is extremely controversial. The United States has no specific religion; everyone is free to practice their own religion. From a more rational standpoint, the government shouldn’t impose restrictions just because it is against the Christian religion when there is clearly no specific religion the country has chosen anyways.Proposition 8: California, United StatesI must direct our attention Proposition 8. In 2008, California voters voted to ban gay marriage with Proposition 8. This ban has lasted until very recently. I also use this as additional material for my previous point.“Same-sex marriage moved one step closer to the Supreme Court on Tuesday when a federal appeals court ruled California's ban unconstitutional, saying it serves no purpose other than to "lessen the status and human dignity" of gays” [1]. The Huffington Post wrote, “The court said it was unconstitutional because it singled out a minority group for disparate treatment for no compelling reason.Closing CommentsI ask the voters of this debate to consider only the factual information presented in this debate when forming an opinion. If you are biased toward one side completely (before the argument), please carefully review the argument and consider the points from both parties.Work Cited[1] http://www.huffingtonpost.com...
