Arguments for gay marriage?
What are the arguments on both sides of the gay marriage debate?
It does not harm religious institutions at all. Churches can still decide whether or not to marry same sex couples and no law will be implemented forcing them to do so
pro
The main argument is a religious one which has no place in rational democratic society. Besides the fact it has been cherry picked why not make eating lobster illegal.
pro
Homosexuals are productive members of society and deserve the same happiness as everyone else. People no liking homosexuality isn’t good enough reason to inhibit their happiness by preventing marriage.
pro
Ruins the sanctity of marriage. All thing being equal heterosexual marriage and homosexual marriage are different but greatly influence each other and will lessen the sanctity of hetero marriage
con
Homosexuality is an aberration. At the basic scientific level homosexuality is illogical and harmful. You cannot reproduce which is the basis of love and romantic relationships. You’re chances of contracting STD’s through the ‘unconventional’ sexual activities is increased dramatically. Allowing same-sex marriage will mean society is condoning something that is harmful to the perpetrators and the community as a whole
con
Sin. Homosexuality is a sin, we live in a western Christian society and we cant turn our back on those values.
