Zelma Casebier: RIGHT? No. The same law apply that apply to heterosexuals. In California, first cousins can marry, not so in Utah. States make their own laws. They should set their own rules. A Gay man cannot marry his son, nor a child, nor a second man. It has to be two consenting adults. Now your church does not have to perform a church wedding. Their choice. Get a life, get a wife, and just give it a rest....Show more
Carlton Lastrapes: Polygamy and child-adult marriages and inter-species marriages will not result from same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage is between two people and more importantly two consenting adults. It's a pretty weak argument to say same-sex marriage will cause all of those other things.
Jarrod Darnall: The main problem is politicizing and sexualizing marriage. Gays should not marry, not only for pro-creation reasons. There is sufficient data on children raised with 2 genders that it is abusive. No mother for a girl, no f! ather for a boy. It does not work.I recommend anyone interested in the "debate" study Exodus International, a group by former gays who found Christ and have renounced their homosexual ways.To answer your question, it is a thorny one. Marriage is quite simply between a man and a woman, but legally pologomy is opposed because of child endangerment issues. Inter family would be considered incest, which is under the same child endangerment issue. Child adult, same. Inter species, I'm not sure what you mean here....Show more
Neely Youngblut: I don't see anything wrong with same sex marriage.
Hilde Heskett: These things are not comparable.You wouldn't stop a man and woman from marrying simply because one or both were infertile, or think that their sexual relations were "unnatural" or "wrong."As for polygamy, incestuous marriages, inter-species marriages (lol, by the way), these are all considered to be wrong for legitimate reasons: incest can cause birth defects,! interspecies could not be consensual, and polygamy is often u! sed for the wrong reasons, most notably to subjugate women (http://donklephant.com/2006/03/17/the-case-against... In fact, perhaps by your argument polygamy could be allowed - I would be up for arguments for it. Gay marriage does not imply any of these implicitly - it is, like opposite sex marriage, between two loving, consenting people. It is no different morally from male-female relationships by standard moral reasoning - the only difference is that of gender. If the argument you have is against the sex being natural, define natural, and disallow all sexual acts besides intercourse only for procreation purposes. If because of biblical reasons, surely you cannot force your own religious beliefs on everyone - it is America, after all.I would be happy to hear other arguments against these and give my opinions....Show more
Kelly Bistodeau: First of all, pedophilia and beastiality involve taking advantage of humans/creatures who cannot consent. Since adult homosexu! als CAN consent, you cannot compare the two. So, two down.As for incest, it's illegal to marry close relatives because of the possible birth defects that could result, though the chances of birth defects only rise slightly with first cousins. If there was a petition to allow first cousins to marry, I'd be all for it too. Whatever consenting adults do in terms of their private relationships is fine with me.For the same reason, I'd also vote to allow marriage to expand to mean multiple partners.So yeah, I don't think I provided you with the answer you were so desperately trying to set up now, did I?...Show more
Nell Dipiero: there is a difference whether you see it or not... ok polygamy i can't argue with but interfamily leads to genetic deformities... child-adult can be considered statutory rape... interspecies is just plain nasty!!!!
Wilbur Marksberry: same sex marriages are between TWO ADULTS. not an adult and a child. children aren't capable of being a part! of an effective marriage and would most likely be abused. if you have ! sex with your mom and get her pregnant guess what - your baby is going to be beyond messed up. i do not approve of polygamy but if you're into that whatever. what you do in your house is none of my concern if i'm not being hurt by it. you're not putting up a very compelling argument.edit: why is the fact that homosexuals can't reproduce relevant here? if they have sex they just won't have a baby. it's not like they'd have a disturbingly deformed baby. same sex marriage should be allowed between two consenting ADULTS. i'm not going into polygamy. also, to the person that said marriage is between a man and a woman. you are correct on the religious view of it. however, in case you haven't noticed, a decent number of people (including myself) could care less what religion says about it. i prefer to think for myself. there is also a nonreligious government view of it, as well as the sense of partnership. i'm not harming anyone if i do get married. it is between my partner and my! self. nobody else.about bestiality, the animal cannot consent. so that argument is null....Show more
Nikita Schroepfer: I'm not saying same-sex marriage is going to CAUSE these things. I'm saying that if same-sex marriages should be allowed, why shouldn't other alternatives marraiges, after all, this would create more equality. Also, if a minor and a adult are married, then sex between them is not considered statutory rape.
Rosie Travino: Also concerning birth defects among inter-family marriage, homos have no right to argue that seeing that THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE AT ALL.
Eleni Mccier: canada has same sex marriage for about 3 years it hasn't affected anyone's life and we are pretty used to it. two legal adults marrying is different from a child marrying an adult it is an unfair argument as are inter family marriages because it is incest, ******* your brother is different from ******* a man you have met in a gay club. you are actually using inter species m! arriage as an argument are you ******* kidding me. ok ******* an animal! is different from ******* a human and you are aware that your argument can be applied to marriage between a man and a woman too. i think the only reason that the republicans make such a big issue about it is because you can win a lot of votes if you say no to gay marriage. canada has solved this issue by making it legal. it hasnt lowered anyone's standard of living straight or gay and it doesnt deny someone their basic human right. why do you care that someone marries another dude anyway, would it affect you not at all, so think about that...Show more
