The Arguments against Gay
Marriage
1. Marriage is an institution between one man and one
woman.
a. It used to be, but now it is time to change this.
Just because it was like that for 5,000 years does not mean the views on this cannot
be changed.
2. Marriage is for procreation
a. If this was true, then why are there so many men and
women who are sterile?
3. Same-sex couples aren't the optimum environment
in which to raise children.
a.
Neither
is a place with single mothers, but those children are doing just fine. Love is
the most important part when it comes to raising children. As long as you love
your child, teach them right from wrong, prepare them as best as you can for
the “real” world then your child is going to be fine. Would you rather the
child be raised by a happy family or a broken family? I chose happy.
4. Gay relationships are immoral and violate the
sacred institution of marriage.
a. No, what is immoral is taking away civil rights from
a human being.
5. Marriages are for ensuring the continuation of
the species.
a. Wrong. It may be a major point in it, but marriage
is for two people who are in love to live their lives together with the
security that if anything happens to one person then the other is taken care
of. There are many people who get married and NEVER have children; either
because they cannot have children or they do not want children.
6. Same-sex marriage would threaten the institution
of marriage.
a. Divorce does that NOT same sex marriage!
7. We shouldn't alter heterosexual marriage, which
is a traditional institution that goes back to the dawn of time.
a. Then woman should not be allowed to vote, blacks
should still be slaves, and Jews should still be persecuted. Times change,
people change, laws change.
8. Same-sex marriage is an untried social
experiment.
a. Experiment? So wanting to be with the one you love
forever is just an experiment? For what? Amusement?
9. Same-sex marriage would start us down a
"slippery slope" towards legalized incest, bestial marriage, polygamy
and all manner of other horrible consequences
a. In some states incest is already legal and you can
marry your cousin and what about all the polygamy colonies?
10. Granting gays the right to marry is a
"special" right.
a. Having my foot up your ass is a special right, gay
marriage is just a RIGHT.. period!
11. Churches would be forced to marry gay people
against their will.
a. There are enough churches out there that will do
this willingly that those that don’t want to can get over it.
12. If gay marriage is legalized, homosexuality
would be promoted in the public schools.
a. It’s not legal yet and it is still being talked
about in schools. All you need to do is turn on the tv and see homosexuality.
Rock on Glee!
The real reasons people oppose gay marriage
1.
Just not comfortable with the idea.
2.
They fear that they are also gay.
