I sense
I'm sorry, this is kind of mean of me and I know it's nitpicky but you left yourself wide open for it...You do not want to argue here. These are not the homosexuals you're looking for.
from your posts that you are one of those cause "bandwagon jumpers" who would be willing to argue anything from spotted owls to global warming just for the sake of playing the victim role.
That's kind of mean of you. What gives you that impression, other than to pad your argument with a healthy dose of insulting?
Your own comments show the fundamental flaw in your argument. The bottom line is same sex couples are by definition different than opposite sex couples.
I won't dispute that.However, whether they are different or not does not change the fact that they should have the same rights, y'know?
There is no right or wrong here, it simply is what it is.
I'll give you that one, but it's kind of irrelevant.
Even you acknowledge that the best a gay couple could hope for is to be the surrogate for a child whose bioloical (and by definition opposite sexed) parents have somehow been rendered unable to raise the child.
It is possible for same-sex couples to have children. I would go into this in detail, were it not for the fact that details about this have already been posted time and again in this thread, and any more of the exact same already-debunked argument would probably cause the thread to go into some kind of coma.
The fact remains that same sex couples can have sex until the cows come home and they will produce exactly zero progeny, end of story and species.
This would be true, if everyone was homosexual, which they're not. Heterosexual couples still exist, therefore the species will not go extinct. Furthermore, the extinction of the human race is not even a viable issue. We are living comfortably, our lives are not threatened by anything but each other, and therefore the only way we could possibly go extinct is by our own stupidity in causing WW3, not because some homosexuals were allowed to marry. And on that subject, who said that homosexual couples won't have sex before their marriage? That just...the whole sex thing is just a ridiculous and overused argument.
Thus all morality aside how can you even begin to infer that this is some kind of biological force at work. Nature doesn't work that way. When a species develops a trait that leaves it at a disadvantage they only end up in one place, extinct.
This is very true, heredity and natural selection, science aside, should root out any traits detrimental to the species. However, and I just want to say it is not my intent to compare these people in any way, our society is so coddled and far advanced that evolution for the human race is practically at a standstill. Why? Because back in the day, if you were dumb and stuck your fingers in an electrical socket, you died and your genes were erased from the gene pool, nowadays they have breakers. That's just an example.
And for another thing, You can claim all you want that Homosexuality is the genes talking but if thats true what they are saying is "out of the pool"
Read the above. Evolution in the human race is irrelevant, and we should not shun people for something that they cannot control.
