The article that you link to has many logical fallacies.
There is the argument that homosexual behavior spreads AIDS. Yet, many legal behaviors are dangerous. Simply be careful and monogamous. Simply put, if you and your partner are clean and monogamous, and donÂ’t use contaminated needles, then you wonÂ’t get STD. LetÂ’s allow them to get married. Marriage may very well encourage commitment as it does with heterosexual couples.
Then there is the argument that homosexual marriage is unpopular. Just because something is popular or unpopular does not make it right or wrong. Clinton won the popular vote twice. Did that make him the right president for our time?
Then there is the argument that homosexual marriage is not natural. Just because something is natural or unnatural does not make it right or wrong. Is it natural to roll up dried leaves into a tube, put a match to them until they smolder, and stick the tube between your lips? Cancer is natural. If you live long enough, you will get it. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy is not natural but it helps.
Then there is the argument that we have a tradition of heterosexual marriage – not gay marriage. Well, even though something has a history does not make it right or wrong. We have a history of slavery and of prohibiting women from voting. Should we bring those traditions back again?
Then there is the argument that sex organs were only made to be used a certain way. Well, I guess that we should prohibit oral and anal sex. We should also outlaw contraception. I used a dictionary as a booster seat at a dinner table once when I could not find an actual booster seat. Did I commit a crime? Who is to say that we must limit ourselves to with our bodies? There are many body parts that serve no purpose – such as the fifth toe.
There are probably other arguments that can be as easily chopped down. IÂ’d like to hear them from someone courageous enough to engage in an actual discussion.
