The first main argument is that “[gay marriage] denies the self-evident biological, physiological, and psychological differences between men and women which find their complementarity in marriage. It also denies the specific primary purpose of marriage: the perpetuation of the human race and the raising of children” (TPF Student Action). This argument is so infuriatingly idiotic, as it suggests that the sole purpose of marriage is to procreate, and that all heterosexual unions produce children. As of right now, about 10% of married couples of one man and woman are not considering having a child, according to a LA Times article. The second argument against gay marriage is that it denies the child either a mother or father. It is to only have one biological parent, or neither. First of all, many heterosexual couples adopt children, and many heterosexual couples are divorced and remarried, making children that were not created under their union only having one biological parent as well. Also, research in Australia has found that it is possible to combine cells from two women to create a child, making it so that both parents pass on their bloodline to the child, according to the Daily Mail. The argument of denying a child one gender of parent also invalidates single parents, as the child will grow up with either a mother or father, but not both. Another argument against gay marriage, again found on TPF Student Action is that “It Validates and Promotes the Homosexual Lifestyle”. Well, erm, yes. It does validate the homosexual lifestyle. I thought that was part of the agreement. As for ‘promoting’ the homosexual lifestyle, the only thing legalizing gay marriage will do is tell children that it is alright to love whoever you want to love. Last time I checked, legalizing heterosexual marriage did not ‘promote’ marriage. It just told people that it was alright to marry someone. Other, excuse my language, absolutely stupid, ludicrous, senseless, unintelligent arguments against gay marriage are that “It turns a moral wrong into a civil right” and “It defeats the purpose of benefiting marriage” and “It imposes its acceptance on all of community” (yes, these arguments do seem extremely redundant). My personal favorite is “It Upsets God”, which to that I reply: “The First Amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"”(Wikipedia), or in more common terms “The Separation of Church and State”. And if you just wanted anymore proof that anti-gay supporters have a little ‘trouble in their noggin’ “zach” replied to this article with “then how do you explain why we have two genders?”.
