    People keep talking about how bad it is to deprive a child of their mother. I can fully get behind that - but I think that's a totally different debate isn't it and irrelevant to gay couples raising children? Do specifically gay couples bar birth mothers and children from seeing each other? Doesn't the same rule apply to any parent who adopts? Maybe I'm missing something here.

    Can this lady even believe her own reasoning? The fact that gay couples should or for that matter shouldn't be allowed to raise children, is a separate one from saying that children raised without a mother (or a father) would be better of worse...
    Ending by damning all sodomites - of which the actual definition is: people that indulge in sexual activities other than procreation. Which is not only homosexual people or people with an entirely different sexual orientation - is just ridiculous isn't it? It really drives home the fact that you haven't got any better arguments... Sad fact since though the rest of the debate was harsh at points, it was pretty much civil to a certain extent.

    2:45 How is that wicked? You don't necessarily need a female in a household to make the child happy and that is proven by the thousands of kids who love their only male or only female families. Besides, a kid isn't the main point of marriage. If marriage even has any point at all, then it's love, not the production of another human being. You can choose to have kids and you can not, it's your choice.

    • @cletusj.johnson1850
      @cletusj.johnson1850 3 года назад

      It is true that kids do love their parent, but that does not justify the entire argument. In the long run, it has been proven so many times over that children are generally going to be better off with their mother and their father, all things being even. Whether they have a single parent or have been adopted by gay “parents”, they will always be the most well off in life with the mother and the father present in a ideal living situation. I personally feel indifferent towards the whole marriage thing, because it has lost all meaning anyway if people get divorced and have marriage between gays and all. I still do not support the idea of gays, single people or people living in an unusual way adopting children. The idea is to provide them with a normal life, not one where they become a burden and are used as a shrill of the LGBT agenda.

Also, please provide the sources of the studies that show straight couples raise better kids as opposed to gay people.

One by one, it was like watching a train wreck happening in slow motion. It just goes to show that the opposition has no brain for which to think, and has a huge inability to reason.

    Really? You're really going to take the "personal selfishness" stance? How dare you. How dare you label the want for equal familial opportunities and rights for the gay community as selfish. Would you say a woman who requires fertility treatment that she's selfish because nature determined she is unable to give birth? Belittling the arguments of the gay community and dismissing them as selfish is not only incredibly ignorant but it is an emotional attack implying that homosexuality is unnatural.

    I would also add that "marriage" is defined by a deity, do you except that as well and all that comes with it, or just the parts you like?

      and is taken up by homosexuals?
      Also if homosexuals want to be parents
      the price of that is to be 'heterosexual'
      and that is a ' fact'.

    • @JaeWoodwyrd
      @JaeWoodwyrd 7 лет назад +2

      bigbreadeaterellis well as a homosexual I would have to disagree. And actually that is not a fact. Do you know how many kids are given up for adoption every year? And half of them never find forever families because people like this woman and you would rather them stay a foster care system that is so distinctional and underfunded that most kids either runaway, become homeless, are given to abusive foster families, or worse. All because people dont have enough common sense to allow two people who love each other to raise a family by adopting. So no, the idea that the only way someone can have kids is to raise them biologically, is rediculous and illogical. Especially since the divorce rate among heterosexual marriages are much higher than that of homosexual, and a vast majority of families nowadays are single parent families (gay and straight).

    I see where this leading anyways. Your wanting the status of "marriage" over civil union, which would give you legal standing in a court of law. This would allow you to bring a case to court, if any church, group or religious institute refused to perform it. you would in essence be "forcing" your will one someone because they disagree for what ever reason to perform it.
    If your wanting the same rights for wills, insurance coverage, tax right off, business, civil union covers that.

    Also the word divorce for ending a marriage is not from Yahweh. As for documentation about marriage by pagans start by reading the book. Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert.

    Of course, its all because of gay marriage and not because of trivial things like inequality, crime, poverty and so on.
