Don’t let this important debate die. Everyone who’s posted here has raised some very good points, and they should be preserved for anyone in the future who needs to learn the arguments on both sides. The best place to do that is at http://www.livingvote.org/.

i personall do not support gay marrige….here are a few reasons why???
1.not natural
2.how will this going to benefit the society….instead this will ruin the society
3.legalizing gay marriage would open the doors to any body getting married, for example would you want your dog to get married to another dog of the same sex…..how is the dog going to be benefited??
4.why is there this change????…its not like divorce is not legal…i mean two people of the same sex can be good friends….how are they going to benefit the world….they can go out and watch movies or hand out together…
5.this is less meaningful to the society
6.there is a need of a family…you cant just adopt children from the orphanage…..one day the orphanage will run out of babies, then who will produces more babies or the orphanage would not want to give the baby to a gay couple…will they??
7.gay parents will raise their children to be a gay…influation…
8. gay marriage is not supported by religion
9.children would not succeed if they do not have a male parent and a female parent
10.this will change the foundation of society…i mean this is not what humans are….
now i am in a huge mess, personally this is what i think of gay marriage, and now i have been given my debate topic to be FOR gay marraige and i don’t even agree to one of the advantages of gay marriage…i have not even lost one debate in my life….all i can do is more research, if any one you have a strong point for gay marriage pls do tell me…

Dustin,
I agree with you that there are other considerations about this issue than biblical ones. You mentioned some cultural ones, there are judicial /legal ones as well. (Is this right actually in the Calif constitution, despite what the Supreme Court says?) This is not a Christian issue. It’s about democratic majority rule, what rights are given to the minority and how to properly protect those rights. See my blog, “Life in the Big Democracy” at http://www.sophiesladder.com
P.S. I found this blog from a link on “Blue Christian”.
Regards,
Jeff Carter

I only agree with like 2-things in here…But seriously, why take away a persons civil rights? That’s just so wrong! I mean really when all these church people and white trash gay bashers move in and try to take away their rights, it doesn’t make you look like you’re “proteacting” or “saving” marriage, it just looks like you’re being a whiney little bitch about it…

Actually, a study done a couple of years ago found that whether or not couples were in a legal commitment was the factor in staying together, rather than sexual orientation. Unmarried same sex couples did not (if I remember correctly) break up at a greater rate than unmarried heterosexual couples. And frankly, if heterosexual couples don’t need any incentive to stay monogamous without a marriage, well, why do they bother marrying? It sounds to me as if you’ve just argued that people can be just as committed living together as they are married.
