Browsing the internet, you might come across some thought provoking ideas. I found one the other day which struck me as ironic.
A high school student had posted online, something I failed to find again, sorry for the lack of links, an assignment to take on a public debate. The teen student chose the topic of Gay Marriage only to learn that the teacher then instructed each student to argue the opposite position they feel about it. Since the student supported Gay Marriage, he was in a bind.
So his question was: I am lost in finding a reason against gay marriage which does not come from religion.
I pose the challenge to all of you, can you find any sound reason why homosexuals should not be allowed to marry?
one of the reasons why people get married is procreation and that denies the primary purpose of it.
ReplyDeleteIf I was to put aside the obvious over-population problem, and the fact that gay families adopt those with no home. If I was to put aside that the government should be incentivising a controlled birth rate, encouraging the 'have at it' approach.
DeleteI would still have to ask if people would deny homosexuals the right to marry and not present a fertility check on heterosexual couple. How about those who get married after the age of child bearing? How about the elderly? They can not have kids any more, should we end their marriage?
It gets hairy when you are put into a position where the government makes rules to apply to all, and excludes one group.
