The 10% increase in the US over the last 10 years refutes your entire 'underpopulation' argument.
Its immediately relevant
when you are are citing yourself as a source. And whenever you apply an arbitrary label that you define as a basis of discrimination, then your source on that label is fair game.
Making all of your 'legitimate class' babble pointless subjective opinion from an admitted biased anti-gay bigot. Which has no objective or rational value.
You're allowing your animus toward gays to drive you. And we don't base our laws on your feelings.
Our laws are not bound to 'Christian morality' as demonstrated elegantly by the fact that we don't execute gay people anymore. Your 'legitimate class' nonsense is just you trying to impose your personal religious beliefs onto our law.
Which has exactly nothing to do with 'promoting the gay lifestyle'. Cochran doesn't even argue that the 'gay germ' is passed by exposure to gays. And its nothing anyone is going to catch if gay marriage is legalized.
Your 'cause' (gay marriage) has nothing to do with your effect (more gays). Your argument breaks on an issue of causation again. You'll probably want to look into that.
Laughing....calling people 'autistic' already? Just an FYI...that's your tell. Its where your argument goes off the rails.
I have given a reason, for one, children adopted by homosexual are measurably harmed and disadvantaged versus being adopted by heterosexual couples. It breeds societal anomie, furthering atomization, nihilism and further social fracture by reducing human relations to purely transactional relations based on individual convenience as opposed to family formation and procreation.
Says you. These are merely accusations. But your argument breaks again on issues of causation. You can't connect your 'cause' and your 'effect' as having any causal relationship with evidence. You merely insist it must be so. Citing yourself.
Where your personal animus and bigotry toward gays becomes relevant again. As your source (you) is wildly biased and spectacularly uninformed. Rendering you citing yourself an excercise in merely baseless bigoted opinion.
Which has no particular objective value.
Meanwhile, history kicks the shit out of your little theory. As gay marriage has been legal in Massechussetts for 10 years. And the marriage rate is virtually unchanged.
If gay marriage causes traditional marriage to 'atomize' then why didn't it?
One gay man can have a child from the egg of another woman, not the sperm of their male partner. So no, a gay couple or lesbian couple cannot procreate and have their own child.
Wrong again, Captain Strawman. I never said that a gay COUPLE can have kids. You're refuting arguments that haven't been made.
I said that gays and lesbians can and do have their own biological children.
No it doesn't, if we continue at below replacement rate, we will face population decline unless we increase immigration. You can keep repeating this rehashed argument. But you cannot argue against the point that if below replacement level birthrates continue at this rate and stays at 1.8 or lower, population decline will occur. Not only this, not enough children are being born at this rate to pay for those retiring. At the 1945, there were 40 workers for each retiree. Now we are an aging population where there are only 2.9 workers, and heading towards 2 workers per retiree by 2030. With continuing dropping birth rates, the entitlement structure will become unsustainable.

You are the only one making labels like bigot. But that isn't an argument. The statistics show those growing up in homosexual households are measurably more dysfunctional than their peers from heterosexual households. This isn't my bigotry, this is from their self-reporting as adults after the fact.

They aren't a legitimate class. If sexual preference is a legitimate class that is offered legal protection, than you have to offer it to pedophiles as well. That isn't to say you allow them to marry persay. But for example, if you cannot discriminate for example against a homosexual in a business under the law because they are a protected class due to sexual orientation, than you also logically must serve a pedophile(who may not rape children, but admits his orientation), because you can't discriminate based on sexual preference. The idea that you have a legal identity because you prefer a man's anus if you are a dude is ridiculous and purely based on emotion.
Yes, I am trying to impose my views into law, you are trying to impose yours. Law is an expression of the society's morality, which in western society is informed by Christianity for two thousand years. You cannot detach law from morality, this makes no sense.
I never argued gay marriage makes straight people gay marry, so again, this is something you have created in your mind. You have an odd habit of doing this. What I said is that sexual preference, like human behavior is based on a combination of genetic and environmental factors. It is not based purely on genetic variation, or purely on environmental variation. What I asked you was a simple question, and you have yet to provide no answer. you just continue repeating yourself and ignoring the question. Why is homosexuality different than other human behavior, and purely based on genetic variation, and if so, what is your proof?
You are autistic, and definitely socially off. You are an emotionally driven woman that spends most your time on online boards repeating yourself. You are almost definitely ugly and fat, and without a husband, who you would be happier with.
Society is more nihilistic and atomized(I didn't say marriage becomes more atomized), relationships are more dysfunctional than they have been in the past(look at divorce rates, lower birthrates, more bastardy, more mental illness, depression, anxiety, isolation, less community participation, lower trust; for this read Putnam's work and the Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey and US Census data), this apathy and social indifference is paralleled by the rise in the homosexual rights movement, the movement is a result of a society plagued by moral indifference and atomization, people losing a sense of community and traditional relationship norms. Homosexual rights movements don't emerge in traditional patriarchal societies with high birthrates and higher marriage rates, and low out of wedlock birth rates. These movements are the product of libertinism to the extreme and hyperliberalization, and further feed this declining condition. It definitely feminizes the society, leads to androgynous gender roles, confused gender identity, and strained gender roles that has been spurred by feminism.
A gay can have a biological child by having a child with a woman, a woman's egg. They cannot have a child by having gay sex and the child will not be the couple's biologically, just one of the homosexual's children. They are genetic dead ends, sexually speaking, they are not driven towards procreation, but towards a sexual relationship where the act itself cannot make children, they have to use women to have children.
