Gay marriage

I apologize for the delay. I have recently been quite occupied with a variety of things I needed to do. I would like to point out before continuing that I am playing devil's advocate. No, I have nothing against homosexuals, but more or so homosexuality itself. Also, I would like to point out that first round was for acceptance only, but whatever.REBUTTALS"My first opening statements are Gay marriage should not be alllowed because Its will deprive the child of either a mother or a father the reason being since it's two females or two males." This is completly false. First of all, not all gay couples have children. In fact, the majority of gay couples don't have children. "Demographic data show significant diversity among same-sex couples with children. These families live throughout the country: of same-sex couples by region, 26% in the South, 24% in New England, and 21% in the Pacific states are raising children." [1] As you can see, percentages around the 20's are presented, meaning 80% of homosexual couples don't have children. Furthermore, depriving children of a father or mother has nothing to do with gay marriage, you are thinking of gay adoption which is irrelevant."And this may be said already but it goes against GOD.Gay marriage is a sin god had Adam and Eve to reproduce not Adam and Adam or Eve and Eve.It is and should always be One female and one male" First of all, you have no proof God exist. Also, there are various Gods, and some approve of all sexual orientation. Now lets assume you speak of the christian God. Regardless, he still accepts it. God loves all his children unconditionally.Romans 5:8"But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God knows we are sinners. We all sin, homosexuality is not the only sin out there. There is also something we all do, such as being jealous, stealing, glutony. We all commit these sins, however God still loves us, and forgives us, while we still continue to sin. So God is accepting of gays, and he loves them, he just dislikes the sin. "And reason being their should be a father because to show the child how to act orderly when out of order.And it needs a mother to comfort the child." This is sexist. You need not a father to teach you how to be orderly, nor do you need a mother to comfort you. If such were true, explain how the children of single parents are perfectly normal! It doesn't mater if they are male or female, they can and will do anything to raise their child. "And we are teaching our children gay marriage is good but it's not even if there is democracy there are limits to that freedom.For example we can't go out and kill someone hevans no." Of course there are limits. The limits prevent harm from occuring. I ask you now, what possible harm does marrying the one you love, regardless of gender present? None at all! "And in addition,The reason the goverment hasn't banned gay marriage is there worried homosexuals and lesbians might go into a fit of rage and destroy the white house." Your false assumptions are quite theatricall. The reason they haven't banned it is because there is no point, and it is unfair. People have the right to love eachother, regardless of gender.----------------------------------------------------- Overall, my opponent hasn't explained any valid reason to which why gay marriage is wrong. His main statements were the following: It depreives a child from a parent of both genders and that it goes against God. I proved that first of all, marriage and adoption are 2 different things, and 2 God loves us either way.-------------------------------------------------------- CONTENTION 1: RIGHT TO LOVE Everyone has the right to love. Gender should not be a boundary. Would you like it if you couldn't marry the on you love? Of course not. Banning gay marriage does so. And doing so is wrong.----------------------------------------------------------Sources:1.http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu...;
