| Alright lets bring this back.
We started off talking about population and evolutionary heuristics, so lets return to that.
Homosexuals do not procreate, fact. 10% decrease in reproduction should not be supported by the goverment or anyone else. Of course the homosexuals would not reproduce anyway, but it does not mean it should be encouraged by granting them marriage rights. They do not contribute so well to society as well as heterosexual couples with children because of this and therefore are not as deserving of rights as heterosexual couples with children.
My arguement has never been against homosexual marriage, but to deny them rights that heterosexual couples have on account of their refusal to procreate. The same should go for heterosexual couples who do not, for whatever reason have children.
They are refuting what is commonly accepted to be the main evolutionary heuristic, this is not excusable, though their actions are not going to destroy the human race they are not beneficial either and in doing so are lowering their rights. If the world was to suffer suddenly from drastic population drops then homosexual's actions will have lowered the human race's chances of survival, granted this is not in the forseeable future, but the point remains.
Then we talked about bullying and how this links in with adoption.
Adopted children of homosexuals will face major problems in life they would not face if raised by a heterosexual couple. The fact remains that homosexuals are commonly discriminated against and face hardships far greater then that of heterosexuals.
I concede this is because of the actions of bigoted heterosexuals, but this cannot be changed quickly and in the meantime actions must be taken to keep innocent children from having to face those hardships unnecessarily.
Then we talked about the strength of homosexual marriages and two citations have agreed that homosexual marriages are not as strong as heterosexual marriages.
Ideally we would have figures that show heterosexual marriages without children to compare to, but we do not.
Whatever the cause of the unreliability of homosexual marriages in comparison to heterosexual marriages the point remains the same, they are and law must take it into account.
I would like to point out that if a couple stays together for 5 or so years for the children then gets divorced, this will not have an effect on the figures of divorce rates over a long period of time. |
