I'm claiming that states should be reluctant to sanction homosexual marriage so as not to promote homosexuality
First of all, "Promoting Homosexuality"? Ffs, dude. First of all, no one here or in the government PROMOTES people to change their sexual orientation. My parents PROMOTED the heterosexual lifestyle to me, and guess what? Turns out I'm not into chicks. **** me, right? I really wanted to be straight, but it didn't happen. Trust me, I tried. From puberty until I was 19 years old. I fasted, prayed, and guess what? I'm still gay. I was even planning on going on a mission. I was raised in the PERFECT LDS household. Happy home life, loving family of 6, church every Sunday, seminary every day in high school. So please, don't bring up the argument that I may have had a "liberal" upbringing or an abusive parent.
The term you're looking for is "Supporting Homosexuality". "SUPPORT". It simply means we DON'T have equal rights, and we want the government to SUPPORT the rights of two adult consenting men who love each other. Nothing more. No promoting. No one is trying to turn you and your family gay, here.
You just have the worst word selection pretty much ever
and its potential physical/mental health risks to the public at large. Same reason certain drugs and other immoral behaviors are illegal, whether they are commonplace or not.
Holy crap, dude, buttsex cancer isn't this giant epidemic that's killing the nation-- and HIV is more than treatable now. And I've just got to know-- what does ANY potential disease have ANYTHING to do with a LOVE COMMITMENT?
Let's flip this logic back and use it against heterosexuals, shall we?
"Unwanted pregnancy is much, much, much, much, much more common than HIV. Unwanted children lead to abortions, which I'm guessing in your book, is a bigger sin than contracting HIV. Therefore we should ban Heterosexual marriage-- to protect marriage from abortions and orphaned children."
Sounds stupid, right? Well you're making the same argument. Get a better one, because this one is ****.
Fast food kills more people than HIV and Buttsex cancer-- ban fast food?
Cars kill more people than HIV and Buttsex Cancer-- ban cars?
No.
You're going to die. Some people die from cigarettes, some in car accidents, and others from having too much gay buttsex. And that's why America is so great.
But again I ask you, WHAT DOES MARRIAGE HAVE TO DO WITH ANY OF THIS? Gay sex happens with marriage or not. Legalizing gay marriage will not 'create' new homosexuals-- it will simply accommodate those already existing on the planet. This doesn't affect your life in any way. At all. Your kids won't turn gay because they see gay people. They're gay if they're gay. There's nothing you can do about it.
Put simply: should the state encourage that behavior and give it the rights and recognition of marriage? That's how I look at it, and I come out against it. But that's just me, and you know that already.
And that's why you're a ****ing retard. I'm sorry, I tried to be respectful for this topic, and I probably deserve an infraction for that, but holy cow.
I've made a huge mistake by making this topic-- it saddens me to see such ignorant posts like this.
Basketball topics from now on for me.
Like, holy crap-- how would allowing gay marriage, a commitment between
two people,
SPREAD HIV? If anything, it would literally reduce the number of people being infected by HIV.
I seriously just cannot fathom this logic you're busting out.
