[QUOTE="S|kH, post: 1927, member: 217"] My 2 cents : Gay Marriage should be banned, because the government should not endorse or aide in the assistance of such relationships. Gays do not procreate, so therefore the state should have no interest in their ability to keep together with their partners. We're attempting to ban the benefits gay couples want/can recieve from the goverment. Now let me present some arguments people present in favor of Gay Marriage : 1) It is discrimination to ban gays from marrying. Response : Obviously this is false, being gay, as far as science can tell, is not genetically linked. There is no such thing as a "gay gene" so far. Until this can be proven so, being "gay" must be regarded as a choice. The government should not endorse bad choices made by the people that do not help the government or society at all. Face it, America is not a pure-democracy, we have some socialist features. The government is not banning Gay Sex, there is no discrimination there...if they wish, they can participate in gay sex, we are banning the benefits they want to recieve from our government. Many gay people attempt to claim banning gay marriage is discrimination and relate it to events such pre-civil rights era. This is ridiculous, being Black is genetic, being Gay so far is not. If being gay is proven to be genetically inherited/linked to an unchangeable natural trait, then I will with all my ability, support Gay people to recieve the same rights and benefits from our government. 2) It harms no one. Response - Just like smoking weed and using cocaine in your apartment harms no one else...why is it banned? Government knows it does not help society in any possible way, keep it banned until an over-reaction from the public occurs where one drug becomes unstoppable. Once again, we are NOT saying Gay people can not have gay sex...gay sex harms no one else besides the participates. 3) "Slippery-slope" argument. Everyone is aware of this argument. On this basis, procreation is in the best interest of the government, hence why incentives should be given to people who decide to procreate or take the initiative steps to do so. Now some may say, that not every married couple are able to have kids. I will argue this point with that 83% of heterosexual couples are able to create offspring, and the ones that can not, have genetic defects. Opposed to homosexuals who have 0% procreation rates, and do not have ANY noticeable genetic defects. Now some may say that "look at the divorce rate, or how well heterosexual marriage is doing"...Yes I agree, with you its not in the best state...but will adding another useless negative solve the problem? 4) Religion is a personal choice, just like being gay. Agreed, but Religion is also a personal choice the forefathers made sure was protected by the constitution and bill of rights. I dont see why people want to give up religion, basically what our nation was built off of ;) That covers the main issues that Gay people have presented towards me in an attempt to support Gay-marriage. Remember, those are just my responses, you do not necessarily have to agree with them ;) -S|kH [/QUOTE]
