Gay Marriage
Our period 7 ACE Current Events class is preparing for a debate on the following topic:
Should gay marriage be legally sanctioned in every state?
Discuss your position on this issue.
No, marriage is between a man and woman and if gays got married it would not be traditional. I also believe that getting married means you are willing to have kids and gays cannot have kids unless they adopt. Adopting could ruin the childs life if the child is not gay.
I think that allowing gays to marry will just be a waste. The traditional wedding is mostly about procreation. Gays would have to marry and adopt. gay people being able to adopt is only allowed in 11 states.
gay people should not be able because the whole point of marriage is to promote the creation of families. Families are made up of mothers, fathers, and children. Gays do not fit that description. Also gays cant have children and having children is the whole point of marriage and even more importantly, LIFE. Imagine the whole world being gay. The human race would be extinct, therefore it should not be allowed.
Gay people have every right to get married. To me, being married means you love that person, and plan to spend your life with them. Gay people should have that opportunity too. Even though they wouldn't be able to have children, they could still adopt. There are thousands of children without families and homes to live in, and gays can make excellent parents.
Gay people should be allowed to marry. They are people to and they should get every right we have. The only difference is they are unique. When was that ever wrong. Also, it is a proven fact that if your parents are gay the children will grow up smarter than kids with average parents. these kids will also be more open to differen't ideas and people. It could make the world a better place. Plus bieng gay is not a desease. It can't spread so if it makes them happy how is it effecting us. It's not like you will be living in the same house as them. They should do what they want without all these people butting into there buisness. Why should we care what they do.
Gay people should be allowed to marry, because they too are people who deserve rights just as we do. Marriage is not about reproduction, it is about when two people love each other and want to spend their lives together, which they can do if they are gay. In the constitution it was written "all men are created equal." If we honor the constitution then we should treat others with respect no matter their sexual orientation, beliefs, and race. In the 1950's people were discriminated for their race, now people are being discriminated for their sexuality, it wasn't right then and it is definitly not right now. Also if gay people who adopt heterosexual children are not ruining their lives, they're still family and they still love each other. It doesn't make you a bad person if you're gay, I have friends who are gay and they're great people. Why can't they have equal rights to others?
I believe that gay marriage should be legal. I think this because nobody has the authority to tell someone who they can or cannot love. Also, if someone is born a certain way, we cannot blame them for the way they are; we can only accept gay couples and let them enjoy marriage just as a heterosexual couple can.
Gay marriage should be allowed! It should be allowed because someone is brin with gay hormones they can not help who they love. Is is right for a gay person to tell and woman and a man not to marry? no because they cant help who they love and its normal for thwm to like different genders as it is normal for gays to like the same gender.
Every human being is born with the capability and right to love, no matter what. Whom they love should not dictate their right to show that love and have it be legally recognized through marriage.
No, because it will ruin the traditional marrige
