are there any legitimate anti-homosexual marriage arguments?

Answer 1

Your question is a statement. Not a question. by the use of the word Legitimate you are already discrediting anyone who would put forth an argument against it.

I am not arguing against homosexual unions for life. They just need their own name. Marriage means something else.

Answer 2

===== JUST SCIENCE, (no religion) =====

- We "Evolved" to reproduce asexually, a male and female combine their genes to make another male or female.

- In order for the male and female to reproduce and our species to go on, the penis fits inside a vagina, a penis cannot fit inside a penis and a vagina cannot fit inside a vagina.

-To prevent a male from going off course and trying to mate with another male, the male body is sexually and emotionally attracted to women and not men.

- The human male's body secretes hormones and chemicles that make him attracted Emotionally, and Sexually to a female.

- The female human also is Emotionally and Sexually attracted to a male.

- There are always anomolies in nature. If an animal has mentally / sexually changed and is emotionally or sexually attracted to it's own gender (weather on it's own or by accident) it can no longer reproduce and that animal dies without passing on it's genes and therefore it and its kind are eradicated.

- Natural Selection wise, homosexuals cannot reproduce to pass their genes (IF homosexuality is genetic), in theory unless homosexuals are created or heterosexuals converted into homosexuals, they (homosexuals) will eventually die out.

-The above is a good arguement that Homosexuality is Un-natural and goes agains the evolution and continuation of our species.

- If you try it, you will do it, If you build it, they will come, if you make it legal, they will smoke it.

-We've determained that homosexuality isn't naturally "right". Some men & women have some faulty wiring resulting in them liking their own gender. However, No matter what you do you cannot change them by force. Banning Gay Marrage will not cure all gay people nor will it get rid of them. This is a moral issue. Gay marrage was illegal because being gay wasn't popular. Now that being gay is more common, gay marrage is close to being legal. If gay marrage were legal then that would be an incentive for more people to see homosexuality as an option, an alternative to a heterosexual lifestyle. When given an opportunity humans tend to take it, weather it's what they've always wanted or out of curiousity or for the sake of being different. Thus if you legalize gay marrages there is a possibility that more people will open up to being gay /and/or/ converting to homosexuality.

-The above is a good argument that legalising gay marrage will help increase the gay population.

===== MORALS & LOGIC =====

- If 2 out of 2 million people were gay, then homosexual marrage would not be accepted because of it's rarity and due to it being logically un-natural.

- if 2 out of 10 people were gay, homosexuality might be more tolerated, because it is more common.

- if 2 out of 5 people were gay, homosexuality would be acceptable almost everywhere because of it's abundance in society.

Therefore, If gays are rare they are not accepted, if gays are abundant then they are accepted.

Logically, Moral Values begin to fall apart if Gay marrage is legalized and accepted. If it's OK for a Man to marry a Man, then it should be OK for a Son to marry his Father. The only objection to a son marrying his father is a moral one. The son cannot reproduce with his father so there's no chance of a birth defect caused in the offspring (the reason why brother & sister marrages are illegal). If son/father sexual relationships were more common then society would accept them, lower their moral standards, and legalize son/father marrages.

-If a son can marry his father then why shouldn't a man be able to marry an animal. If a big percentage of the population wanted to legally marry an animal, then should society give in? Should we give into anything and everything that comes our way? Where is the line? Is there a line? Should we enforce the line?

Answer 3

Marriage is an institution of society to raise children with two caregivers

In modern society marriage is a troubled institution......half of all marriages in American end in divorce not death till you part.....(would you buy a car with a 50% recall rate)....marriage changed when women's status changed in society...they no longer had to stay with bad partners,,,cheater, abusers, etc..........

Civil marriage is easy to get (Las Vegas) and easy to get of
(you can use any reason). Most Religions are not so easy in getting marriage and do not accept divorce......

But we live in a secular society.....so gays getting married is not really a logical issue.....because civil marriage was created to as bastardization of the religious version in the first place to promote stability in society.....so as long as a Church is not required to marry you....it should does not affect them or their moral code

Gay are only seeking civil equality........using the same bastardized version million of heterosexuals use every year...
Gay seek it for legal and financial (taxes) benefits.....

I personally think that if the government should make it stricter and harder to get ( women more choosy about mates) if the purpose is children and get out it (dead beat dads a real costly societal problem .....and offered all others who want to hitch for legal and financial (older seniors, gays) another version....with prenups or partnership papers that explains the in and out of post breakup property and retirement rights....as a better alternatively.....civil marriage today is not a stable institution....but it saves on taxes

Answer 4

No, but some people think their arguments are legitimate.

Answer 5

No. It has many benefits.
It's a bit of a funny subject.
Some see it as 'the last bastion of a moral society' and 'destroying a religious institution'.
But why not legalise it. I know plenty of straight couples who cohabit and have no intention of getting married

Answer 6

Yes there is one good argument against gay marriage. It is if the two people getting married aren't gay.

Answer 7

No. There is no sensible, legitimate or educated reason to be against same sex marriage.

Answer 8

Not a one
