Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: Hurts everyone?

Marriage is only between a man and a woman. Think about the kids. They will be influenced to question, where is the mom or where is the dad, why two of the same? It will confuse them to the point where they find out, "Oh, you can't have kids as gay or lesbian, nor is it right because of the drugs, the larger amount of abuse, the depression and also NO KIDS BECAUSE IT ISN'T NATURAL. The side that says it hurts everyone, yeah, we won.
Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: hurt some

While homosexual marriage may not physically hurt anyone, physical injuries are not the only type of injuries that can be inflicted to a person, to a family or to a nation. Our country was founded upon a system of morals and religion. It was created in a way that it can only exist in an uncorrupt manner if people lead good, moral lives. Legalizing gay marriage makes homosexual activities seem ok to many individuals, which will lead to an increase of homosexuality in America. If homosexuality increases to the point that more people are homosexual than not, our country's population will decline, since it takes a man and a woman to procreate. Population decline, largely caused by the fact that family size is declining, while it has not had a great effect on the United States yet, has had highly negative effects accross Europe. In a few years, some countries will not have enough younger generation population to support the older generation. It has already become so detrimental to Italy and other countries that in some areas, people are being paid to have children.

"If homosexuality increases to the point that more people are homosexual than not..."This is not going to happen. Homosexuality is not a choice. It is a trait that only a small minority is born with.

you arent born with homosexuality. there is no gay gene. it is all from influences from your peers and society. that statement was unfounded.
Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: Doesnt hurt anyone

I like how you attack my unfounded statement by making an unfounded statement of your own.Anyway, I looked it up and it seems nature and nuture both play a role:"There is no consensus among scientists about the exact reasons that an individual develops a heterosexual, bisexual, gay, or lesbian orientation. Although much research has examined the possible genetic, hormonal, developmental, social, and cultural influences on sexual orientation, no findings have emerged that permit scientists to conclude that sexual orientation is determined by any particular factor or factors. Many think that nature and nurture both play complex roles; most people experience little or no sense of choice about their sexual orientation."http://www.apa.org/topics/sorientation.html

so do people wake up one morning and deside, hey, im going to like people of blank gender!no, they do not. you start getting crushes and likeing people in pre-school, what could have already influenced them by then? they havent been exposed to sex or anything, they dont know what "gay" is, so how can they be influenced or choose?
Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: Doesnt hurt anyone

You also don't become gay from "influences from your peers and society." There is at this point more evidence that supports biological and genetic reasons for a person being homosexual. (Identical twins are considerably more likely to have the same sexual orientation, sexual preference can be changed in rats, fruit flies, and other animals with simpler minds, a gay man's brain has characteristics that look more like a straight female"s, and so on and so on.) However, sexuality is one of the most complex psychological processes of humanity and thus there is not a conclusive answer on the whole nature vs. nurture argument. So basically your statement is "unfounded" as well.

USA was not founded on the principles of religion. It was founded on the principles of freedom to believe or not to believe. This is why State is separate from religion. You are confused on this issue. It is probably what you would like, but definitely not what it was or is.

Our country was not founded on YOUR set of morals and religious beliefs. We live in a pluralistic society in which many religious and non-religious practices co-exist. To enforce religious practices of a particular religion, would destroy any sense of NEUTRALITY the government may have regarding religion. You cannot ban something because it is against your religious beliefs because not everyone shares your religious beliefs.the fact that homosexual activities are already legal makes it seem like homosexual activities are okay. Marriage isn't even part of that equation. I don't think there is anything wrong with homosexuality and what people do in the privacy of their own homes shouldn't be any of your concern.Gay marriage is already legal in a lot of places and those places seem to be doing fine.Nor are we in any danger of running out of people, the United states is one of the most populated Countries (#3 I believe) in the world. We have some 300 million Americans with no shortage in sight. If only China and India had more gays then they wouldn't be so over-populated.

Wrong. America was founded on the principles of Christianity. Why do you say it's not? Because subjective atheists decided to tell people to stop believing. Well guess what? Noah's Ark has been found plus numerous locations that contribute towards the Bible. Oh yes, scriptures are all coming true. America is called the Promised Land for a reason. The Founding Fathers would be turning in their graves because of non believers like you lying about America never being founded on the foundations of Christianity itself. I have spoken the absolute facts. Now cry me a river and get over it. Yeah that's right, the ruins of Sodom & Gomorrah were found by archeologists years ago. Homosexuals are wrong in their actions.80% of Americans are believers. Only 5% claim what you say. You've lost. While 15% are probably either pondering, laughing at this debate or neutral.

It hurts when they want to teach kids in school that. I like that we have a system and a fabric that rewards a man and women to marry. People don't want it and thats why they have petitioned to remove it from states that have made it law only on judicial reasons which is unconstitutional.

Give them civil union OK. My marriage to my wife is something special, I like to know that the definition of marriage means husband and wife which cannot be taken away. What then does marriage mean when I say I'm married if it's not a man and women? It does hurt someone it hurts the people who are married and believe that marriage is and always will be defined as a man and women.

I'm glad you feel like your marriage to your wife is special.However, how would your marriage be any less special just because same sex couples can marry?Also, do you want another man to never feel that special feeling you have just because he loves another man? Your argument is that allowing gay marriage hurts all heterosexual married couples (which I disagree). But not allowing gay marriage hurts all homosexual couples to a greater extent than the prior.

No. Civil unions even are heterosexual only. There is no other form.

I think Gay marriage does affect our society. Back in the day There weren't gay people because it was unthinkable. Who Would like another man/woman? But now more and more its being free and open. I saw youtube video for a 14 year old kid. He said in his video "I think I want to be gay" I don't know I don't want to be like everyone else. He's right that its a personal choice but he took it so lightly. Thanks to the media. What if this kid was your son? I'm not against gay people at all. Just how it affects people that would have been straight.

Giving benefits to gay partners will make being gay a more acceptable alternative. It is acceptable to to be nice to people who are really gay, while also trying to prevent it from becoming just another option for people to experiment with. Is it acceptable to try to promote a mother and a father as the preference, and is withholding all the same benefits of marriage a valid way to try to show societies preference for families with mothers and fathers? Obviously gay people have a right to live how they want. You can't be mean to them. You can't discriminate against them in any way as far as career, housing, etc... but if the majority wants to show a preference... So people the belief is that more people will be hurt by experimenting with their sexuality, than if they would have just assumed they were straight. Sure, if you KNOW you are gay, go for it, but let the rest of us sort of ignore it.

Obama may have been right to do it, but Bush wasn't a really bad guy for not having done it. It can't go too far, but if a society wants to place a preference on heterosexuality, by giving less respect to homosexual relationships, it can do it. It might hurt gay people's feelings if they don't get the exact treatment as heterosexuals, but that is sort of the point. Gays can still live how the want, but they can't force the majority to like it, or accept them, and little laws that don't grant full equality are not fundamental humal liberty issues, we have to draw the line somewhere, and no one would want to legalize bestiality or polygamy, and so we all draw the lines slightly different locations, and it is not worth throwing a hissy fit over... Sure you might be right, but its not that big of a deal. You can't force other people's respect and approval, you already have Massachusetts. Just relax.

Not saying that it "hurts everyone", but the institution of marriage is in trouble as it is. It is not the fact of the marriage; it is the fact of the message that is being sent to children. Many are being exploited with this new attitude. A lot of problems can and do revolve around emotional, social, and psychological well-being as a child is developing their sexual identity. I think it's really confusing to be taught that homosexuality is "normal". I also think other children's peers are a factor that have not been considered enough. Children can be very cruel to each other.Simply put, children learn what they see.

I am not against homosexuals at all but I think marriage should be reserved for man and woman. Many people I know agree they don't want their children to see two homosexuals holding hands and making out in the middle of the street so that their children think it is alright and (if religious) God intended that. Unless the marriage is not at a church and there's no religion involved I don't think it is right. I'm okay with them just signing papers though. I believe it does hurt people because as my first example said many straight parents don't want their children thinking such a thing is natural and it also strongly disturbs some people.

Primarily doesn't hurt any one physically.Maybe emotionally towards family members and friends. Also relatives that are religious will conduct their views. It may hurt the children adopted by the same sex couples as far as their understanding of a household family unit and what is or should be a regular functioning unit. A unit that is usually between man and woman. Especially life lessons that must be taught to the child as far as reproduction,the original order of nature,marriage,romantic love etc. As long as the child can be raised properly it may not damage her or him to any extent. But precisely it will not or literally cannot affect or hurt an outside party that is completely irrelevant to same sex partners.

By leading those they rule over to rebellion!"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them" (Rom. 1:26-32).

There is a manipulation it the way this question is asked.Of course, if someone gets married, or buys a new car, or gets interviewed for a job - this in itself cannot "hurt" anyone.However, the real question here concerns the redefinition of the term "marriage", and the relevant adjustment of state laws.And, in the way it is being done, I think it hurts everyone in the US.Because it opens a bridgehead for other, even more marginal law changes.
