Gay Marriage should be legal.

Hello. As a pre-note I must add that I don't intend to insult anyone in this debate. I honestly don't care what gay people do, and no offense is meant. Now I will show why it is that gay marriage should not be legal in the United States, the presumed realm of this debate's context. CONTENTION 1: Gay Marriage is contradictive. Let us view this problem through a religious lens. In the bible it implicitly states man and woman were created, and that they would be reunited in marriage. REunited shows the fact that man is a half and woman is a half. When put together they are compatible on multiple level. First, obviously, they are compatible according to the Bible. The Bible obviously condones heterosexual relationships as being good, and homosexual ones being bad (I'll mention this later.) Secondly, two males/females cannot reproduce together. The goal of sex is primarily for reproduction, so obviously a relationship that IS homosexual is a destructive one. First of all, because they can't have kids. Secondly, because they are taking away from the available male population, decreasing the amount of heterosexual relationships. For every 1 homosexual relationship there are 2 heterosexual relationships that can't exist. So this means that homosexual relationships hurt not only themselves, but everyone else as well. CONTENTION 2: Causes major social problems as well. First of all, divorce is 1.5 times more common in same-sex marriages for men, and 3 for women. This leads to a ever-growing gash in the social community, and is not healthy for the homosexuals or the heteros either. This is just another example of the problems this causes and who it affects. The larger problem with this is quoted in my source. "When society continually calls "marriages" unions that almost invariably end in divorce in 1 to 10 years or turn into "open relationships," the cheapening effect on the institution of marriage will be inevitable. " Marriage is a sacred union, and when we descry it, it takes away from the value of the process itself. CONTENTIONS 3, 4, and 5 This last contentions are short and to the point. I won't layer them in tricky terms and words, just deliver the facts. THREE: First, we can expect an eventual end to any structural prerequisites for a legitimate sexual relationship. This means that when we start to not value the what marriage is, we lose what we have to do before we can get married. We will completely slander the meaning of marriage and soon it will be just another pointless ritual, much like eating of going to the bathroom. FOUR: Second, there is good evidence that societal approval of homosexual practice may increase the incidence of homosexuality and bisexuality, not just homosexual practice Children are very susceptible to being permanently swayed by the things around them, especially homosexuality. If homosexual marriage and acts become a norm, than homosexuality will too. This will make my points mentioned earlier drastically worse. We will not survive in a world run by this sexual perversion. FIVE: Third, "gay marriage," as the ultimate legal sanctioning of homosexual behavior, will bring with it a wave of intolerance toward, and attack on the civil liberties of, those who publicly express disapproval of homosexual practice Finally, this one says that homosexuality, since it's already prejudiced against, this prejudice will increase with unaccepted acknowledgement of the fact. People will not accept this idea, and if the government enacts it, then people will hate the practice even more, leading to even violence and murder of anyone gay or suspected of being so. This is just ANOTHER example of how this practice will affect not only homosexuals but everyone. IN SUMMARY This will lead to violence, chaos, hate, and extreme social and reproductive distress if put into effect. Not only will the affect homosexuals, but it will affect everyone else as well. 10% of the population is not worth problems for 100% of the population. This is basic logic, and this is why gay marriage should NOT be legal. Thank you.
