Homosexual rights

[Star1]

Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.

that's a common misconception. Research has shown that just because you have gay parents doesn't encourage your children to be gay a whole lot much. It depends on your genetics. Adoption does not involve.

Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That's why we only have one religion in America.

Why does everything have to be supported by religion? Not all religions are correct, who knows if any of them are "the true way" and they are all simply made up? Just because of the holy books?

Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.

...I don't know what to say to this. There are some people who consider hanging out with gay people is the best, and those people never turned gay. And how is that hanging around with tall people makes you tall? I'm short for my age, and I hang out with taller people every day. I don't see myself growing to their height.

Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage license.

...I don't think just because people see lesbians kissing each other on the street won't entice them to go back to their house to "get to know" their dog better.

The idea that gay marriage is wrong because gay couples are somehow unnatural is not often stated openly, but this premise influences other arguments and lies behind many people’s negative opinions about homosexuality in general. For most people, heterosexual relationships are the norm, both in society and in nature. Homosexual relationships are thus abnormal and unnatural; therefore, they shouldn’t be validated by the state nor recognized as a form of marriage.

Just because something is not in the norm, does that make it unnatural and abnormal? That sounds pretty offensive....

Very often the argument that homosexual relationships are “unnatural” is meant to describe the fact that they do not and cannot lead to the creation of children, which is supposed to be the “natural” consequence of such intimate relationships, especially marriage. This argument also isn’t effective, but the relationship between marriage and raising children is addressed in more detail elsewhere.
Ultimately, the “homosexuality is unnatural” argument fails to support the case against same-sex marriage because there is no clear and convincing content to the concept of “unnatural” in the first place. Everything that is claimed to be “unnatural’ is either arguably very natural, arguably irrelevant to what the laws should be, or is simply immaterial to what should be treated as moral and immoral. It's no coincidence that what is "unnatural" also happens to be condemned by the speaker's religious or cultural traditions. Just because some trait or activity isn’t the norm among humans doesn’t make it “unnatural” and therefore wrong.

Wait, now you're backing it up..? Wha..?

[AkA_Stoney]

understood, but thats not my point, thanks for taking a picture of that?

 

[Shredderbeam]

The maker of this thread is not seriously advocating against polyester, birth control, etc. He's mocking some commonly used arguments against same-sex marriage.

 

[Owen1993]

I didn't bother to read that whole essay the first person conformed but this is my opinion on the matter.

Being homosexual is WRONG. Because you cannot have sexual intercourse with the same gender and produce a child, which, morally is why there is sex, to reproduce.

There is infact something wrong with being straight in the same area. It is also wrong to marry someone of the opposite sex, and never have intercourse.

Producing children is the biological function of sex, not the moral one.

So, is having sex without the intention to get pregnant morally wrong?

There is infact something wrong with being straight in the same area. It is also wrong to marry someone of the opposite sex, and never have intercourse.

How is that morally wrong? You don't marry somebody to procreate, you marry them because you love them, and want to live your life with them.

Sorry I didnt mean marry, I meant to have sex with them and not produce a child, but just for sex.

How is that morally wrong?

 

[TJ]

So if you marry a sterile person, then you are morally wrong?

 

[Owen1993]

How is that morally wrong?

Because sex was meant for creation not recreation.

And to TJ, u fail I said sex not marriage.

 

[Shredderbeam]

Because sex was meant for creation not recreation.

Why can't we go against what evolution has shaped us for?

 

[Star1]

Where is the love, people?
Well, another thing I want to say that I didn't, I think people should marry whoever they wish to marry, gay or straight. If you love someone and know you can spend the rest of your life with that person, marry him/her. Just because homosexuality goes against your beliefs, doesn't mean it's wrong in the world.

Owen, life isn't all about sex.

[Jethr0x]

Gay people are... gay.. god made a penis and a vagina for a reason...

if gay marriages were to become legal... as long as it does not involve me in ANY way... i dont really care

Okay, so if you have sex with a sterile person then it is morally wrong?

Still a failed cause.
