Please excuse the atrocious grammar and spelling, but I had to repost this on mere principal 'cause the heart is in the right place and I didn't have time to copy edit it.
1) Being gay is not natural.
Rebutle:
Then we must also reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay
Rebutle:
In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society
Rebutle:
Can we never adapt to new social norm? Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
4) God said man and women, not man and man.
Rebutle:
it wasn't that long ago that the arguement of "GOD'S WANTS" were used in courtrooms around our nation to inforce that:
women are mans property
blacks shouldn't marry whites
and because God said it was wrong divorce was illegal.
5) Straight marriage would be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed
Rebutle:
The divorce rate for hetrosexual marraiges ages 20-40 have continued to rise 3% annualy making it likely that by 2007 53% of hetrosexual marriages will end in divorce.
To think that the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.
Rebutle:
More then half of the worlds children live in orphanages, foster care, and the streets. Hundred of thousands of children will die in these orphanages every year.
But we want to argue that marriage need to have the out come of children,
Then you most also argue the marriage of infertile couples, the elderly and gay marriage from being allowed to marry because none of those marriages can produce children of the own.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children.
Rebutle:
Since straight parents only raise straight children.
8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion.
Rebutle:
With thousands of different religions in this country and a US Consitution founded on the belief that church and state should be seprate and all should have the right to follow their own faith. A Country founded by the belief that no one religion would dictate our country's out come. We can not inforce law by religion, unless we are prepared to determin the our country's founding fathers were wrong.
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home.
Rebutle:
It saddens me that we as a nation feel that a single mother, single father, or relative can not possibly raise a successful child consitering that as of 2003 US Statics reports state that:
42.7% of American Youth are living in single parent households,
with that percentage expecting to raise 1% per annual calender
10) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior like allowing a person to marry their dog.
Rebutle:
If you can train your dog to sign his name to marrage certifcate then the speak his name to a judge then who am I to argue... cause that talent.
