Re: Gay Marriage: For or Against?

I am not for it nor against it. I would be more for it than against it if I had a choice, but I don't

Are all families good, of course not, but that does not change the larger facts, and the good of mankind.

Gays can have civil unions and they can have the benefits that are common between husbands and wives, from a legal stand point. The culture has made accommodations for the dysfunctions of homosexuality, without changing the age old, accepted in every nation and every culture of people, marriage between the opposite sex for the best for mankind. We should not accept the dilution of this foundational unit.

Now the case has been made without using scripture or condemnation of gays. Even though for most humans it is clear that homosexuality is unacceptable.
Heterosexuals want to marry the opposite sex, and they have the ability to. Homosexuals want to marry those of the same sex, however they cannot. That is discrimination.

There are bad instances of family situations on both sides, both heterosexuals and homosexuals. Homosexuals are just as capable of raising a family as heterosexuals are. They should not be discriminated against simply because of their beliefs.

We discriminate against certain people all the time, and it is good for society.

We discriminate against bestiality, against pedophilia, against polygamy, against murderers, and rapists and many others that are unhealthy for society.

Homosexuality is generally very bad for society, Sodom was an example, the men ignored beautiful women for men with plumbing that had to be used in a dysfunctional manner, rather than becoming husbands and fathers that protect and provide.

If homosexuality is practiced it becomes human desire without bounds, when man removes these boundaries for personal satisfaction
he becomes more and more self-centered. Ultimately society breaks down, and is destroyed.

I make my case against!!

Whether we like it or not, gay marriage is coming. We may as learn to deal with it because trying to stop it isn't going to work.
Did Sodom and Gomorroh get stopped?

When libs prophesy, I know it isn't true. It looks like the gay advocates are out tonight. The same gay advocates are Muslim advocates. If the Muslims take over, the gay deal will stop. Is that what you libs want?

I will not argue against your points, I will argue that it should not be "marriage", because marriage between a man and a woman is the best for children and for society. We should not change this very basic foundation of society.

Though a particular couple may be capable of raising children it is not the best.We have no history of a culture that totally accepted homosexuality as normal surviving.

Sodom and Gomorrah is part of your belief system. It is not part of many others belief system. Why should your beliefs be forced onto them?

2% of the population is gay. 423% of the seriel killers are known to have had gay relationsips. BTK was not know to have gay interests untill he was cuaght and interrogated.
Homosexuality is often connected with more than 1 mental illness.

Sodom and Gomorrah were not stopped because of their homosexuality.

Actually homosexuals can marry who they want, the just can't call something that is not marriage, marriage from a legal point of view. Society has provided for their dysfunction, but that is not enough they want complete acceptance by society at large. In the leftist world that already have it, but not in the mainstream, yet.
