Same-Sex Marriage - The Arguements Against

Simply any arguement on the basis of quotes from the Bible, or Qu'ran, or any religious text I will refute first: seperation of church and state.

If common sense doesn't give you the conclusion to that one, stop reading now and practice your abc's.

To those who say marriage is between a man and woman: not unless it isn't. Like in some European countries.

To those who say it is for procreation: what about the kids born outside of marriage? Marriage certainly wasn't required for them to procreate.

Gays are immoral: See first line.

It is an untried social experiment: Love between gays is nothing new. Giving them the same recognition for their love is the only new thing. No social experiment: only legal.

It will allow other forms of relationships (bestiality, polygamy, incest):
Bestiality: The animal can not speak and thus is unable to say "I do."
Polygamy: These relationships are often cult like in that it permits male dominance over many females. On such cultist basis, they can be refused.
Incest: The blood line boundary is a line that can not be crossed.
Pedophiles: Children are unable nor old enough to have the understanding an of age person does.

Giving gays marriage is a special right: Then if gays can't have it, why should straights? Special rights, if not givable to gays, shouldn't be granted to anyone else.

Churches would be forced to marry against their will: The law can be written so that religion has a choice. Seperation of church and state.

Homosexuality will be taught in schools: So is drug use. To say it would be promoted is simply ridiculous.

Undermine Western civilization: hasn't yet.

Lastly, same-sex couples are not the optimum environment to raise children: I was raised by two women. They are not lesbians, but still, I turned out just fine. This arguement is going to be the basis of my next post.
