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

OK, so apparently I need to clarify every single statement and point out that when I said gays are not like serial killers AT ALL, and this was merely hyperbole to show a fallacious argument, I forgot to mention pedophilia. Homosexuality and pedophilia are obviously not related AT ALL. i thought this was pretty obvious from the way I wrote it, but apparently some people need it spelled out. I should have been more clear however.

Gay "marriage" doesn't hurt anyone in a sense that it threatens traditional marriage (that between a man and woman). I say "marriage" in reference to gay "marriage" because marriage is understood to be between a man and woman in the very sense of the term, as a religious term. Gay's should be allowed to commit to one another and in a sense assume responsibility that a husband and wife would.

If two consenting adults love each other and want to make a life long commitment of marriage they should be allowed to do so.

Why should it only be two consenting adults? What about people who were born poly who want to marry more than one person? Why should they be denied their rights? Let's stop with ALL of the bigotry.

I say, keep gay marriage OUT of religion. HOWEVER, allow it as a legal form of marriage. Shouldn't gay people be allowed to be happy(or gay...lol) as well.

I don't believe that gay marriage can hurt anyone, people just tend not to like seeing the same sex together, its just awkward,that's why there is men and women. Can't find a woman you like, keep looking because there are plenty in the sea.

It's this simple.....You love who you love. And for those religious nuts out there.....doesn't it say Thou shalt not judge???YOU ARE NOT GOD. Let him sort it out, and you should worry about yourself instead of a gay couple.

It can't. It's a free choice, it's not like married gay people are out to get us and murder us in our sleep. I honestly don't know why everyone makes such a fuss about it I MEAN HONESTLY. GOODNESS. That's kind of discrimination.

Ok, this debate has caught alot of attention, so i'm going to put my two cents in...Gay marriage mmmm, so I am going to say is for those of you who thinks it does, do diffrent color people marrying each other bug you or has the debate says hurt you? Should a Elephant marry a mouse? The only person that gay marriage can hurt is the ones in the marriage. Now, I'm not for it, but I'm not going to waste my time fretting over it. Well you can say I'm not against either. Who knows I might fall in love with a chick and marry her one day, it's the love I think that matters, and other people should mind thier own business!

Haven't you heard? The instant that two people of the same sex are married, a cloud of noxious gas descends over the area around them in a six-mile radius.Of course gay marriage doesn't hurt anyone! It doesn't hurt anyone's religious beliefs, as I'm sure the religious right will cling to their religion with a determination that can only be produced by fear. It doesn't hurt anyone morally, as marriage is something that happens out of love. And, obviously, it doesn't hurt anyone physically.So what's the problem?

Same sex marriage does not hurt anyone. It is a freedom of religion issue. People do not have the right to force their beliefs on others. And I am a Christian saying this.

People are generally idiots. They can't accept that someone might be different from them so they create stupid laws and discriminate, it's just.. a mess. But really, gay marriage is like any other marriage.
Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: Doesnt hurt anyone

While I think that it could bring about a whole new class of social implications, I don't believe that any of them have the inherent ability to hurt anyone. It's like the prohibition of marijuana on the bases that it's a "gateway drug". It may be true that people that are now on heroin have tried weed, it doesn't mean that it lead these people without control, to heroin. The same as saying people that do drive-by-shootings began their vehicular criminal life by driving to the mall, or at the DMV.  The theoretical implication to marriage between a man and man or a woman and a woman are the same as a man and woman. Then again, maybe you should be so bold as to ask a more correct question "How can marriage, in general, hurt anyone".

It doesn't hurt anyone and for years straight people have been doing a good enough job ruining marriage themselves. Look at the divorce rate gay people have had nothing to do with that. Not to mention the people most likely to divorce do live in red states. Gay people deserve the same rights as everyone else and civil unions are not seperate but equal.

Well me being in the gay community of course i dont think it hurts anyone. The only people i can see that it hurts, would possibly be the parents of gays. Other than that if people just mind there business, and not discriminate against gays then it'll all be ok.
Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: Doesnt hurt anyone

a good point, no one else has brought up the parents. and not wanting my opinion to be misconstrued, i would like to say that if gay marriage was accepted, and gay people themselves, i dont think that the parents would be hurt so much. i think they are mostly hurt because they dont think it is good for their kids bc society like to push that opinion.

Hurt is a broad term, but if to be taken in the context of marriage the main aspect of this union are the people participating in it. Given this fact, since they choose to marry each other regardless of orientation or gender, it definitely doesn't hurt anyone. People in contact with these gay couples might disapprove of their status but other than having their ideals or opinions contested, in no way are they distinguishably hurt per se.

I don't think it hurts anyone, really. Except for maybe people who are indecisive about their sexual orientation and are losing sleep over it.
Debate: How can gay marriage hurt any one?
Side: Doesnt hurt - does affect

First of all, the two options for this debate are a bit limiting and ambiguous. If we define "hurt" as directly set back or disadvantage, then no, gay marriage doesn't hurt even the most vehement of bigots. However, if we define "hurt" as having any influence in which a person may deem negative to themselves, then yes, it is very possible that it does.I've sided with the "doesn't hurt anyone" because in GENERAL and DIRECTLY it does not influence people who oppose it.John and Jim getting married and having sex behind closed doors, does not affect the daily life of big Pastor Joe in a direct way.However, the long term social and political effects will have very real consequences for both Pastor Joe and the rest of society.If we examine the effects of abortion laws, especially the revision those of 1973, we see how it is possible for legislation intending to provide more individual freedoms may affect the social dynamic. The 1.7 million abortions a year are seen with a more liberal attitude after Roe and other similar historic legal moments.Compare the average attitude on abortion in 1920 to today, and you will find that the social dynamic has changed. As society becomes more liberal on a certain issue because of legislation, it is possible that Pastor Joe is now surrounded with a warped culture he does not enjoy. This culture, the effects of gay marriage, may very possibly "hurt" Pastor Joe in the sense that he is not happy with the effects of allowing it, later down the road.Forced to chose one of the absolutist sides, "Doesn't hurt anyone" -- In general, right now, if John and Jim wish to go get a married, this does not influence my life. In an ideal philosophy, the actions of two consenting adults in private are of no business to anyone but themselves, thus "doesnt hurt anyone."

When laws were passed giving Blacks equal rights using your definition hurt lots of people, the KKK did not want Blacks having the same freedoms as themselves so when the Blacks did they would have been "hurt" and forced to live in a world that made them uncomfotable, so are you saying those laws giving Black people the same freedoms as Whites were wrong? If not why should giving Gay people the same rights as straight people be wrong just because it might make some small minded bigots uncomfortable

because black men and women can have babies... Blacks are trying their best to advance the species, unlike gays whose philosophy if adopted by all would end it.

Side: Hurts everyone?

Homosexuality has been around for Thousands Of Years and I dont see the world ending due to lack of babies, the reason for this is Homosexuality is not a Philosophy, its a sexual orientation and a straight person cannot turn gay anymore than a gay person can turn straight.So there will be Gay people for many more years and straight people churning out babies for many more years, you dont have to worry the world is more likely to die due to overpopulation than the human race die out hecause of a homo plague that'll stop people procreating (even if the world did turn Gay, Lesbians could still have children so the human race is quite safe).

Given your explanation, I am relieved to see someone with real intellect on here. Although against gay lifestyles, as I feel they set a bad example for the youths of today, as well as setting a bad legal precedent - where might we stop; marriage to cows... or rocks... I'm gonna marry myself and get double the welfare checks... That sort of thing is coming, mark my words. There is an old proverb - Give that man an inch and he'll take a mile... This is very worrisome for me. Like Ray Kurzweil I make one my my hobbies studying the future and trends - I worry very much about the evolution of humanity if the gay lifestyle is not kicked to the curb quickly.

If I was born with a sexual attraction to children, I wouldn't act on it. I know I was born gay. There are some men with an extra x chromosome who are gay and many have sex change operations. Do they have less rights as a human because of that fact. Don't argue the slippery slope. It fails. You may have feelings but u don't act on it with minors period. And with 90 per cent heterosexuals, it's good that there are some people who don't procreate. We live in a world of finite resources. As long as 2 consenting adults love each other, leave them be. It's a free country that way. It's a right. Don't argue over the word marriage,use a different term but give the same rights.

i just wanted to add this, butsince aids comes from monkies....im pretty sure gay people didnt spread the first strain through humanity. i would venture to guess, that some straight guy out in the jungle on some expedition thing, got really horny and fucked a monkey. a gay guy, would just go have sex with the other gay guys there. and, they tend to be cleaner and pickier, so i dont think they would go for a monkey....0.0(yes, an immature thing to say, but hey, alot of the people here are already saying stupid crap, i thought id add this too)

I think that it hurts people's sensabilities if anything, but the amount of adultery and divroce hurts mine. Adultery is immoral, yet that fact isn't stopping anyone. I think it is that individuals choice. What if straight people are simply getting married simply for the benefits, but no one is taking away their choice to get married.

Gay marriage does not hurt anybody, nor does it affect any one around them! In the old testament Samuel II 1:26 it says,"I am distressed for thee. my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women." This is a clear indication that King David had a gay relationship and to say otherwise is naive.

Why should the government have any say in how people run thier lives? I might not ever know the answer to that but i know why the government does. Becuz even thought we don't say it out loud we think like ing some one of the same sex deserves a title. WELL IT DOESN'T! same sex relationships are the same as different sex relationships. I don't know first hand but i would think that a same sex relationship would be better then a different sex relationship just becuz the SS relationship would mean they new more about how that body type works. BUT the government does'nt work that why all they see is since it is not the same we don't like it. and it is so fucked up becuz it is like the the gov. is yelling " FUCK YOU FAGOTS AMERICA HATES YOU AND YOUR WAYS" and that pisses me the hell off! i think that if you wanna fuck some one with the same gear have fun! just don't try it on me!

Why would it hurt anyone?No one should be denied the right to marry no matter who they love and recently in the UK Quaker and Jewish churches have said that if a same sex marriage law is passed they all perform the ceremonies :)People need to wake up and smell the coffee, homosexuality is not bad, it doesn't cause anymore STI's than heterosexual sex, it is in no way connected to pedophilia and just cause religion says we should condemn them doesn't mean we shouldThat's gone rather off topic but oh well

Same sex marriages could not hurt anyone. They just want love and respect, fun and happiness just like everyone else. How could that hurt anyone. & just because someone is attracted to the same sex does not mean they will automatically hit on you, grow up and stop thinking everything is about you, because its not.

Gay marriage doesn't hurt anyone. You see straight people get married, sometimes more then once..marriage is for everyone. Gay/Lesbian just want at least one marriage but people are to uptight/all about themselves to let that kind of marriage happen...I'm sick and tired of people not accepting others...I have no spirt or whatever you want to call it for america...we're just going to get worse, and its sickening.

First of all Gay Marriage doesn't hurt anyone, and it even helps the economy. second is that the bible says allot of things that don't make sense, for people to have come from Adam and Eve Cain and Able would have had to had sex with Eve. Third the same would have had to happened with Noah. I'm saying if it's ok to have sex with your mother in the bible it must be ok for a man and a man or a woman and a woman to have sex.

M a Christian for example.... Your morals and judgements are shared with billions of other people.  Morality is a mine field,you walk into it blindfolded and you'll get killed... If your morals are not further backed up by science or other sources than... Well... Morality is no longer a valid argument unless proven by science... At least morality motivated by religion. Marriage... Marriage began as a business agreement between 2(or more....) families to combine Resources between them. The arguement that marriage is a religous binding and that it is strictly between this and this kind of individual is none-the-less wrong. Besides, marriage even now is longer just a religous binding, it is a legal significance "The Church does not rule the state." If a heterosexual couple is allowed to engage in these legal matters, then shouldn't a homosexual one? Be as cruel as up you want.

Gay marriage is the union between a man and a man (or woman and woman). It is literally their own business. If you find it repulsive, think it's against the will of god, or anything like that, fine, you have the right to your opinion. But are you saying gay people don't? And unless they're having sex publically i don't really understand how it's deviant. What IS deviant is taking such an interest in something that you yourself claim to find disgusting.What does that say about YOU, hmmm?
