Gay marriage should be made legal. To deny homosexuals their right to equality creates hatred.
"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it." Coretta Scott King uttered these powerful words preaching peace, love, and equality. To deny homosexuals the right to marry or legally adopt children to raise a family is a repeat of history. This will become the next Civil Rights movement if this country continues to promote hatred. To preach "family values" and promote hatred and discrimination is an oxymoron....
Gay Marriage should be legal
Gay Marriage should be legal, and churches should stop lobbying Washington to ban gay marriage. I'll allow my opponent to make the opening argument......
Gay marriage ought to be legal.
Well, my preferred opponent declined to defend his position. I wrote everything specifically against contentions he made, so it probably isn't applicable to most people. Still, if you want to debate it anyway, please feel free! If you want to just drop some of his points and bring up your own, I'm fine with that. Here is what I wrote in response to the person I had attempted to challenge: 1. A very substantial portion of your argument relates to your attempt at having the Bible accepted as a...
God is against gay marriage. God hates homosexuals. According to god, they should be put to death.
According to the believers of god and the "holy" bible, homosexuality is not only consider something bad but it's also considered a deadly sin. According to the bible, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. -- Lev.20:13. Would you kill a gay person for being gay? According to god, you should. Leviticus is not the only book in the bible that deal with homosexuality....
Gay Marriage is Wrong
Why should lovers stop just because they are frowned upon? It has been said that Gay Marriage goes against the bible, but that leads me to ask- "Why is this being handled by the state?" I was under the impression that Church and State were separate. I understand how nice it is that people are trying to keep Americans out of hell, but shouldn't the individuals take that risk themselves? Why not institute laws against atheism? Or we could just jump the gun completely and publicly stone...
Gay marriage should be legal
First let me say that I do not believe that you choose to be gay. I believe that you are born that way. Some of my closest friends are gay, most of which I've known for years, and they all say that they knew they were different since they were children. I do not believe that you can "cure homosexuality" as I've heard some say, nor do I believe that gays should not have the exact same rights as everyone else. Which leads me to the topic of gay marriage. The most common reasoning behind the co...
Should gay marriage be legalized in the United States?
In looking at the issue of gay marriage and whether or not it should be legalized in the United States, one must look no further than the Declaration of Independence, the document which is considered not only to be the founding document of the United States of America, but whose tenets are revered as sacred political guidelines. Abraham Lincoln invoked the Declaration of Independence in the Gettysburg address when he proclaimed that "All men are created equal," and it was on this very basis that...
