Let's look at this (biased)
site, and some of their claims. They state to have the "facts" about (homosexual) same sex marriage. And I would like to argue against each of these "facts".
"
Fact #1: Homosexual marriages are short lived."
Actually, while nothing on this issue is certain, "
gay couples can be as stable as straight couples". And wouldn't allowing marriage to same sex couples make it
more likely that their relationship would last? If the issue is that same sex relationships don't last long enough:
Legal Status Helps Relationships Last Longer.
Also, we don't deny marriage to couples just because it is suspected the marriage won't "last long enough". Last time I checked, celebrities are still allowed to marry. *wink*
"
Fact #2: Studies show homosexual marriage is hazardous to one's health."
There is risk of STIs from anyone - gay, straight, bisexual, or whatever - who has unprotected sex, especially with multiple partners.
Also, since there is less chance of getting an STI if a couple is completely monogamous and in a long-lasting relationship - and since marriage promotes both of those values - this would again be a reason to
legalize same sex marriage.
"
Fact #3: Homosexual marriage has the highest rate of domestic violence." "
Fact #4: Homosexual domestic violence is a logger problem than gay bashing."
These are basically the same point - assuming that by "logger" they mean "larger". Anyway, we do not prevent people who might commit domestic violence from marrying.
All this shows is that, regardless of the legal status of their same sex couples, we need to offer more resources to help more men who are being abused by their partner - just like we currently have in most places for abused women.
"
Fact #5: Homosexuals make poor parents."
Except that more recent studies have concluded that children raised by same sex couples are "
no better and no worse" than children raised by opposite sex couples.
If not whats the point of keeping citing reports?
The point is that each side gets to show evidence that their opinions are at least somewhat true in reality.
This is a debate forum, sir, not a "everyone state their opinion for fun" forum. If you do not wish to debate, you are free not to come here. But you should expect people who disagree with you to
debate with you about your opinions.
