The "Same-Sex Marriage" Debate.

• Cannibal wrote on 2010-05-02 23:56
  Because there's bound to be one in every Debate forum.
  
  What are your views on Same-Sex Marriage? Do you find it immoral, or are you perfectly fine with it? What do you think about children raised in Same-Sex Marriage homes?
  
  I personally don't see a single thing wrong with it. With any of it. I believe you should be able to marry whoever you want, as long as that person isn't intermediately related to you. Honestly, what two other people do in the bedroom together is none of my business, so why should I try to interfere? Studies have shown that even children raised in homes with parents of the same sex have grown up to be perfectly fine. Yes, there are studies that have shown that they don't grow up with a "normal childhood", but what is normal?
  
  What are your thoughts?

  I don't think anything is wrong with it. But I would probably to avoid the person in question.

  I believe it is fine as well if their not in your family or directly related to you (in any way).

  The cat wonders why humans bother to care about humans of the same sex marrying.
  It's not like they have to marry the same gender as well.
  
  The cat didn't understand this concept of homesexuality when it was first explained to the cat.
  Two males?
  Two females?
  
  That kind of reaction. The cat still have confusion moments

  I fully support it. Even though I do find the thought of it kinda gross lol
  
  1. It's been scientifically shown that almost all homosexuals were born that way. Only a small percentage chose to be that way. Why would you discriminate against someone because they were born differently than you? Honestly, that's no different than being racist or sexist.
  
  2. Homosexuals can't have kids (unless they adopted or went to a sperm bank). This is great considering that humans are heavily overpopulated. Homosexuality can actually save the Earth by preventing every square inch of land from being covered by humans >___> Plus, it's plain economically better for countries to have low population growth. The closer you get to zero population growth, the better. As far as I know Russia is the only country with a declining population (actually there may be a couple more, I don't remember), so homosexuality would economically benefit any country but Russia (etc.).
  
  3. Why is homosexuality such a big deal? I'll tell you why. Because of religion. I can't say anything about other religions because I don't know about them, but I can tell you this about Christianity. In the Bible it says not to practice homosexuality. It also says not to lie or have bad thoughts. Don't even tell me that you don't do either of those. (*From a Christian perspective,*) God gave us free will. Who are you to prevent people from having the freedom to sin?

  I don't mind any of this. In fact, I usually find it kinda annoying when people use "Gay" as a derogatory term. If the two people fall in love, so be it. It might be a bit different if ONE person was but the other wasn't. Meh.
• Kazuni wrote on 2010-05-03 00:53
  There's really nothing wrong with it, except, like said before, the religious beliefs.
  
  And I think we all know how much religion affects people these days.
  
  One of my friends is hardcore christian, and she always says that homosexuality is a sin, and the person chose to be like that, and they could convert back. I always throw back how she doesn't support incest, and if Adam&Eve existed we'd all be children of incest.
  One thing I hate about how some christians or catholics react to homosexuality is that they think the person chose it. Personally, I believe they were born with it, and yeah, it's just like being racist or sexist.
  
  I'm atheist, just saying.

  Uh, no, zero population growth is very very bad (economically). Just ask the Japanese, who are struggling with low birth rates and an aging population. Who supports that aging population? The next generation. Population growth is negative? A lower number of young people support an increasing number of older people. What about jobs? As the aging population retires, there are more jobs than there are employees, leading to lots of bad stuff! Etc etc etc. Although it still amazes me that everyone seems to think GDP and the economy should always be going up, up, up. rant rant rant....

  Gay and lesbian couples have every right to be as miserable and angry as hetero married couples.

  Gays marry. Wooooooo... scary.
  
  I swear, some people are so afraid of people who are "different" to their eyes that they just complain until everything is "right" in their eyes.

  It also says to get married. It also says not to get married. I've heard that it says not to shave but I haven't looked that up myself yet.

  This is because it went from having high population growth to near zero, so it's currently dealing with an upside-down population pyramid. Yeah, this is bad right now, but it will be gone forever once the old generation's gone. The ideal country would have an equal number of old and young people, which can only be achieved through zero population growth (although, I guess this wouldn't happen immediately)
  
  (...Well, actually old people just leech off the country's money, but the point is that the country needs to have a low number of births so the population doesn't explode and the country isn't able to afford to have all the kids)

  This isnt much of a debate is it lol....I fully support it, I mean I dont get why people disagree with it...Its not like if it exists, YOU have to be gay, just the people who happen to be gay can be gay.

  (Pika doesn't care. In all honesty, people should be able to get married regardless of gender.)
