gay marriages, UHHHH!! Options

ok, im not opposed to it because:

1. if they're getting married how is that affecting me.
2. When gay ppl "do it", they cant umm..."have it" (i think so newayz), and that'll keep the constantly increasing population of the world down.

thats all i can think of right now, did u know, just like until a couple of months ago i was VERY opposed to gays, it just sickened me, but ive changed my thinking (no i have NOT become gay)

omg no it shouldn't.  that's going against everything this nation is founded on.  You can't mix religion and government.  And 1/6 isn't a majority.

omg. you forgot our nation is founded on judeo-christian philosophy. 1/6th isn't a majority, but if you take a look at the US, christianity is the majority. Taken from lonely planet: Protestant (56%), Roman Catholic (28%), Jewish (2%), Muslim (1%).

So you agree they deserve tax breaks. If you remove religious or cultural context away from marriage, that's all it basically is. Tax breaks for couples that are committed to each other.

i say they can get tax breaks, but not the marriage tax breaks. i'm sure gay people receive rebates. but it's unfair that they get the marriage tax break when what they are doing is outside the definition of marriage.

You are incorrect, current consensus is that homosexuality is biological rather than social. Just because parents teach that homosexuality is ok does not mean the kids will be homosexual. If anything the kids of homosexual parents will be much more open minded to the life styles of other people. I very much doubt homosexual parents are close minded enough to force their kdis into homosexuality, which is more than i can say for heterosexual parents. http://www.psych.utoronto.ca/~joordens/cou...er13/sld019.htm

I guess theres no point in quoting your 'end of human race' idea because the above addresses it.

It's a problem when it's being taught as birth control solution

[edit]looking at that slide again, the researchers even admit that a firm answer has not yet been established...

debates are fun, even though i tend to lose a lot of them.
