The "Slippery Slope" argument used in gay marriage debate is invalid
This debate is not on gay marriage, but on the specific argument made that giving homosexual marriage as a right would lead to the induction of other groups to get married: Polygamy, incest, pedaphilia, bestiality, etc. I am taking the pro side, meaning i believe this argument is bogous My opponent will believe this argument is logical....
Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized
This debate is a popular one eh? People have been gay, bi-sexual, and lesbian for centuries. There is nothing wrong with it, nor do people have a right to say anything bad about it because there is nothing bad to say about it, but its freedom of speech and everybody is entitled to their opinion. I believe that people that are gay, bi-sexual, or lesbian, just have different minds and like different things, people are unique in their own way, and everybody is different. You have a right to disgree...
Gay Marriage Should Be Allowed
I would like to thank my opponent for accepting my challenge, and I look forward to what I know will be a riveting debate. I have read MrCaroll's debates and they are finely structured and intelligent, so I am glad to have you as an opponent. I see where you're coming from. I'll begin. I belive gay marriage should be alllowed for simple reasons. I myself am a heterosexual man, but I believe that every person has the right to live their lives as they see fit. Not allowing gay marriage is effe...
Gay marriage can and should be legalized
i'm going to switch it up a little and give the burdon of proof to my opponent. I'd like for them to prove to me that gay marriage is not good and is illegal. I don't want to hear religous arguements and I want studies to back up claims....
gay marriage
This Argument has nothing to do with religion,(on my side, you may use it, if you like) as I know that many religions have different ideas about same-sex marriage. Sorry, but I cannot italicize my words for titles. Same-Sex Marriage should not be legalized because,even if same-sex marriage is legalized, it does not really change the overview opinion of everyone. It will still be seen as a wrongful practice. In the book "same-sex marriage pro and con a reader," there is an article "Sin...
Homosexuality is Natural and gay marriage should be legalized
To call Homosexuality unnatural is an understandable argument from ignorance but is it factual? *See movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PooEhBxh0NY Biologically it is not a dead end as It helps with population control, a problem that we are facing today. If the human population outgrows the agricultural limitations there will be mass starvation, disease, war, etc) Animals with Homosexual tendencies are less likely to pass on their Genes thus having fewer or no offspring taking a total off...
Why shouldn't gay marriage be legal
Gay marriage should be legal, since when does anyone get off by being able to tell someone else how to live there life. If we claim we have equal rights then we should practice what we preach and allow same sex marriage. How would allowing two people weather they be the same sex or not get married affect the whole world? In reality it should only affect that couple, and everyone else should mind there own business....
Gay marriage
My position is that gays deserve the same rights as everyone else. If you are able to marry your girlfriend, why would you want a lesbian marrying her girlfriend? Through the years gays have been fighting for equality and acceptance. The thought that civil unions are the same thing as marriage is wrong. If a heterosexual couple has a right to choose which, why should a homosexual couple not have the same right? Gay marriage does not affect anyone not wanting to be a part of it, so basicall...
you cannot ban gay marriage without...
You cannot ban gay marriage without violating vertain rights of a citizen of america. One of these rights would be the right to practice ones own religion. The other one is the pursuit of happiness. By banning gay mrriage you violate both of these. In order for my opponent to win or she must refute both of these as well as any other rights i may bring up....
Gay Marriage ought to be legalized in the United States.
INTRODUCTION: I'd like to welcome my opponent to the first round of the ToC. Before we begin, I'd like to make a few clarifications regarding the resolution. First, I'd ask that my opponent avoid any semantics arguments (i.e. Gay Marriage is already legal in SOME states, etc.) as the resolution implies legalization of gay marriage at the federal level. Second, the resolution also implies that gay marriage should be recognized in the U.S. so long as heterosexual marriage is legally recognized...
