Debat Soalan

What's the worst/funniest argument you've ever heard for gay marriage?

Hm........For me: "That offends god!", "But it's just so gross!", "That's UN-natural." and my personal favorite:

"Imagine if everyone was gay? The whole human race would be wiped out!" XD I Cinta it when people make ridiculous, pointless, untrue and hysterically illiterate comments. ;)

The funniest/worst argument I've ever heard FOR gay marriage... that's a tricky one, but I thank anda for encouraging me to think outside my perspective.

I think, perhaps, the argument that the Bible never says anything against homosexuality. Unless backed up sejak a valid interpretation, which it usually isn't, this betrays the speaker's ignorance of Christian scripture. If anda want to Debat someone's religion, at least do your homework. Know thine enemy, right? Not that Christians are my enemy... atau even the enemy of gay marriage, for that matter. But anda know, that's how the saying goes.

Anikovis, that is a valid interpretation, as far as I know. There is reference to lesbianism in the Bible. See Romans 1:26. But this is the ONLY explicit reference to lesbianism in the Bible that I am aware of.

It's an interesting question, as there generally are few arguments for gay marriage that are free-standing arguments and not rebuttals/refutations of arguments against gay marriage. But there are a few.

The worst argument I've heard for gay marriage: "We just want to be treated like anyone else."

That's the worst argument (not just for gay marriage, either) for a couple of reasons:
1) It's semantically sloppy: what kind of treatment is meant? Medical treatment? Terms of address? There's a great episode of "Phineas and Ferb" wherein the evil mastermind who has conquered the city has passed a law that mandates that everyone is named "Joe". Nobody would actually want that, but it is explicit in the statement. So it's extremely unlikely that anyone wants to be treated like everyone else, but rather that they want the civil legal code to eliminate any distinction and/or requirement for gender in reference to marriage contracts.

2) It's syntactically inconsistent: sejak identifying a group as "we" the speaker is already making a distinction, which does not jibe with "treated like everybody else". For that to scan logically, it would have to be amended to something like "We just want to be treated like everyone else, while being recognized as distinct for the purposes of being identified as a separate group."

" 7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children." I've certainly heard this one in Debat before, which i found stupid, as there are plenty of straight parents with gay children, so obviously their would be gay parents who'll raise straight children.

For marriage:

Note yourself that this was actually used sejak those who are against gay marriage...
"If we were to legalize gay marriage...our children would be taught a new way of thinking!"

xD
And that's negative how?

Ah, i saw that ad, they got cute little kids in there as-well with slurs just to support their point so people say: "Hey, there's a cute child in there! gay marriage must be wrong!". (eye roll) Thanks for answering! :)

My friend berkata 'how will they have kids?'.

I berkata 'so can straight couples who can't/don't want to have kids not get married either?'.

The argument just makes no sense.

I know! I mean firstly, not everyone WANTS kids, secondly, it is possible for homosexxual couples to adopt atau surragot and they might not be able to have kids anyway! thanks for answering. :)

Hmm, there are many, but I thought this was rather funny and stupid: "But gay males get to go to the same public showers and saunas as heterosexual males! They just don't understand, how awkward it can feel when someone is watching your crotch and getting aroused. And there's nowhere to go on a public bath, when he sees your junk, the gay may already have gotten aroused, think of the young males who have to grow up like this!" atau something to that effect.

Classic.

In case someone didn't get it, the stupid part was that he assumed all gay people lust after every single other male ever. (hint: they do not.)
