1st Question: Should gays be allowed to marry?- I think yes. Love is love to me. I know that traditionally marriage is between a man and woman, but times are changing. I think it would benefit homosexuals to get married so they could share health insurance benefits, life insurance after their loved one dies, and because they should be allowed to express their love to the world.
2nd question: I still believe gays should be allowed to marry and I think it’s outrageous that “many people believe that denying marriage licenses to homosexuals is not discriminatory.” It is discriminatory in my eyes. I don’t think that those who go through therapy can somehow just come out of it and be heterosexual. I don’t think it works like that. I’m straight but I’ve heard from homosexuals that being gay isn’t something that they can control.
3rd Question: I still think that gays should be allowed to be married. I looked at the “no” side of the question and I saw that some scholars believe that the Bible isn’t clear in its denunciation of homosexuality. When someone, like my stepbrother, says it’s a sin to be gay, or to be gay and married, I want to know where in the Bible it says that exactly. It may be implied, but I certainly don’t think it says “GAYS SHALL BE CONDEMNED TO HELL!!!!”
4th Question: Reading that children raised single-sex homes are at a higher risk for a psychological problem concerns me, but it does not change my opinion. I believe that someone can always have a father figure in your life, whether it is your grandfather, uncle, or family friend. I think gays should be married to stabilize the health care problems that were described in this question.
5th Question: Yes. I think that gays should still be allowed to marry. Children can be adopted and still have a connection with their parents. Gay couples can adopt. They should be allowed to get married so they can adopt. There are so many alternatives to “manufacture” being a parent. The “no” side pretty much said that times are changing and that gay marriage is the next evolution. I think this is true. We are in a different time period than the time the Bible was written. We are not in the 1950’s where the man makes the money and woman stays at home and takes care of the kids and the house. We’re in a time when anyone can do anything; so why can’t gays get married?

This is a stance I am not willing to be silent about. I too feel very strongly about gay marriage and adoption. It would be absolutely ridiculous to deny a needy child of TWO loving parents that are willing to support that child in every way. I am glad to see that the devils advocate tool could not sway your stance.
Totally am in agreement Zig. I love that you acknowledged the religious side of the arguement but were able to state an arguement against it that is sound (and funny).
