I will just copy-paste, lol
1) Being gay is not natural.
As argued by B. Bagemihl in
‘Biological Exuberance’ -which is a commonly accepted book by all scientists- of the 2000 or so species whose *** acts have been studied in detail, same *** pairings are found in more than 450. Same *** pairings are found in virtually in every human social group and "all the major professional medical, psychiatric and psychological bodies in the western world now accept that being gay is as natural as being left handed".
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
No, it will encourage people to be honest and true to themselves which should be the main purpose in our lives. Also, it is possible that heterosexuals will once in their lives try homosexual *** just out of curiosity (their own free will) whilst short people can’t will themselves to be tall.
3) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
This is a non democratic thought. Not so long ago black people didn't have equal rights with the white people, and when they finally got them, new norms for culture had to be invented and current ones had to be redefined- does that mean that black people shouldn't have gotten their rights to freedom and democracy ever?
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all;
Yes and that is the main problem why people either divorce more now or refuse to get married. In many countries of northern Europe for example, young couples decide to not get married at all even if they end up spending their whole lives together.
Also, as argued by C. Geertz in
"The Interpretation Of Cultures" and by F. Engels in
"The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State" the real reason why "marriage" as an institution was invented was actually political and not religious.
5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed;
That is a childish argument. Because there are more and more killers in every community, the human life becomes of a less value with each murder?
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
Couples who don't produce children are still considered legally valid. That is like saying that if someone was born with a genetic anomaly or with a disease isn't "human enough". And if the world needs more children we should all have more *** anyways ^^
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
This is not yet proven by any statistic and children will grow up and make their own decisions as adults. You can't pre -define them nor pre- restrict them.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion.
So is premarital ***; should we all stop doing it? I know i can't.
And a true democratic society will see religion as a choice and not as a pre-set value commonly accepted by everyone.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
So, all murders and rapists and pedophiles come from homosexual families? O_O
10) 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 contract.
Being gay is not being crazy; Is accepting who you are deep to the core.
And no one is saying that legalizing gay marriage will solve all society's problems. However, it will be an act of a mature and democratic society run of active and equal individuals. Which should be the main goal imo.
:flaw:
