Debate: Same sex marriage sould be legalised
Side: people do not understand

FIRST OF ALL, WHAT IS MARRIAGE? IT IS THE FORMAL UNION OF A MAN AND A WOMAN, TYPICALLY RECOGNIZED BY LAW, BY WHICH THEY BECOME HUSBAND AND WIFE. FROM THE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE ITSELF, IT STATES THAT A MAN IS MEANT FOR A WOMAN AND A WOMAN IS MEANT FOR A MAN.• MOST RELIGIONS CONSIDER HOMOSEXUALITY A SIN. IT IS OFFENSIVE AND A SWIPE TO THE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM OF THE MAJORITY TO HAVE TO RECOGNIZE A RELATIONSHIP THEY CONSIDER SINFUL. THE LEGAL SYSTEM EVOLVED OUT OF THE LAWS CONTAINED IN THE BIBLE. WE SHOULDN'T GO EVEN FARTHER TO TEAR DOWN THOSE LAWS.• IT WOULD WEAKEN THE DEFINITION AND RESPECT FOR THE INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE.THE 50 PERCENT DIVORCE RATE HAS ALREADY WEAKENED THE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE. WE SHOULDN'T BE TAKING FURTHER STEPS TO DEFINE WHAT MARRIAGE IS. A LAW ALLOWING GAY MARRIAGE WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF JOKE OR NON-SERIOUS MARRIAGES, SUCH AS A COUPLE OF FRIENDS WHO WANT TO SAVE ON TAXES. MARRIAGE IS THE MOST SACRED INSTITUTION IN THIS COUNTRY, AND EVERY SOCIETY CONSIDERS IT THE JOINING OF A MAN AND A WOMAN. IT MAKES BIOLOGICAL SENSE SINCE ONLY A MAN AND WOMAN CAN PRO-CREATE.• IT WOULD FURTHER WEAKEN THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES ESSENTIAL TO OUR SOCIETY.THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR SOCIETY AND THE THING THAT MAKES IT STRONG IS THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY OF MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILDREN. IT IS WHAT HAS SUSTAINED US THROUGH TWO WORLD WARS, TERRORIST ATTACKS, A GREAT DEPRESSION, AND NUMEROUS OTHER CHALLENGES OVER THE CENTURIES. WHILE FRIENDS & LOVERS COME AND GO, YOUR FAMILY IS ALWAYS THERE. THE MAIN REASON OUR CULTURE AND VALUES HAVE STARTED TO CRUMBLE IS THE WEAKENING OF FAMILIES. INTRODUCING ANOTHER FORM OF "FAMILY" WOULD ONLY MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE.• IT COULD PROVIDE A SLIPPERY SLOPE IN THE LEGALITY OF MARRIAGE. GAY RIGHTS ACTIVISTS CLAIM THAT THESE MARRIAGES SHOULD BE ALLOWED BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HURT ANYONE, BUT IT COULD START A CHAIN REACTION THAT DESTROYS THE WHOLE IDEA OF MARRIAGE. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MARRY HIS DOG, WHY SHOULDN'T HE BE ABLE TO? WHAT IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MARRY THEIR BROTHER OR PARENT? WHAT IF SOMEONE WANTS TO MARRY THEIR BLOW-UP DOLL OR HAVE 10 WIVES? UNLESS WE DEVELOP SOME FIRM DEFINITION OF WHAT A MARRIAGE IS, THE OPTIONS ARE ENDLESS.• IT CONFUSES CHILDREN ABOUT GENDER ROLES AND EXPECTATIONS OF SOCIETY, AND ONLY A MAN & WOMAN CAN PRO-CREATE.CHILDREN LEARN ABOUT EXPECTATIONS AND GENDER ROLES FROM SOCIETY. IT'S DIFFICULT TO TEACH THE IMPORTANCE AND TRADITIONS OF THE FAMILY WHEN SUCH CONFUSION IS THRUST UPON THEM. ONLY A MAN AND WOMAN CAN BEAR CHILDREN, AND FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, A MAN & WOMAN HEADED HOUSEHOLD HAS CARRIED GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE THROUGH LIFE.Leviticus 18:22 identifies homosexual sex as an abomination, a detestable sin. Romans 1:26-27 declares homosexual desires and actions to be shameful, unnatural, lustful, and indecent. First Corinthians 6:9 states that homosexuals are unrighteous and will not inherit the kingdom of God. Since both homosexual desires and actions are condemned in the Bible, it is clear that homosexuals "marrying" is not God's will, and would be, in fact, sinful.History argues against gay marriage. Modern secular psychology recognizes that men and women are psychologically and emotionally designed to complement one another. In regard to the family, psychologists contend that a union between a man and woman in which both spouses serve as good gender role models is the best environment in which to raise well-adjusted children. Psychology argues against gay marriage. In nature/physicality, clearly, men and women were designed to “fit” together sexually. With the “natural” purpose of sexual intercourse being procreation, clearly only a sexual relationship between a man and a woman can fulfill this purpose. Nature argues against gay marriage.The issue here is not forbidding anybody to love, but put love at the right perspective. Yes love is a natural thing so we can fall in love to anybody, we can even love and hurt many times, we are humans thats why we experience these. But love isnt just about feelings, it also comes with RESPONSIBILITIES. it doesnt give me the consent to marry for the simple reason that i LOVE them, but because marriage, which is binded by LOVE, is a commitment with RESPONSIBILITY.We marry more than the reason of Love, we marry not only because of loving the other person but along with it is the responsibility to become a husband, wife, and a family that will nurture the future generation. A husband is a MAN and a wife is a WOMAN, which identifies their responsibility in their FAMILIES. And in this family that we have created, in my example I may love a fellow woman but i cannot marry her because my responsibility is to be a woman in this society. U see, we all have our PURPOSES, the reason why we have our IDENTITIES. So why confuse our identity for the reason of love? Love is a feeling that can be given to anybody either in a man or a woman, I may admire a beautiful woman, I may even admire a handsome gay, I may love a very old man, a married man, or whoever I WANTED to love, but my love isnt enough reason to FORGET my identity that I am FOR a MAN, who is also FOR ME. And if I can give love to anybody, I also love MYSELF, and that is being who I am, naturally as I AM. We need laws to provide limits, boundaries, and to control our "natures."I think you can have a relationship of love and commitment and trust and understanding that doesn't need a marriage certificate associated with it.IF GOD HAD INTENDED THE HUMAN RACE TO BE FULFILLED THROUGH BOTH HETEROSEXUAL AND HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE, HE WOULD HAVE DESIGNED OUR BODIES TO ALLOW REPRODUCTION THROUGH BOTH MEANS AND MADE BOTH MEANS OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE HEALTHY AND NATURAL.. We need God's laws, for His laws were put into place for our benefit...for our good. And "in the keeping of them is great reward.
