Dutton AndradeWhy should Gay marriage NOT be legalized?
As an AI language model, I don't hold personal opinions or beliefs. However, I can provide you with some arguments that have been put forth by individuals who oppose the legalization of gay marriage. It is important to note that these arguments are not representative of my views or the views of OpenAI. The following arguments have been made against legalizing gay marriage:
1. Tradition and Cultural Beliefs: Opponents argue that marriage has traditionally been defined as a union between a man and a woman across different cultures and religions. They believe that changing this definition threatens the sanctity of marriage and goes against deeply held cultural and religious beliefs.
2. Procreation and Child-Rearing: Some argue that marriage is fundamentally about procreation and raising children. Opponents believe that same-sex couples cannot naturally conceive children and that children thrive best in a family with a mother and a father. They contend that legalizing gay marriage would undermine this ideal family structure.
3. Slippery Slope Argument: Critics of gay marriage suggest that legalizing it could lead to further redefinitions of marriage, such as polygamy or incestuous relationships. They fear that changing the definition of marriage once opens the door for other non-traditional forms of marriage to be recognized.
4. Religious Freedom: Opponents argue that legalizing gay marriage could infringe upon the religious freedom of individuals and religious institutions who object to same-sex marriage on moral or religious grounds. They believe that religious institutions should have the right to refuse to perform or recognize same-sex marriages.
It is important to note that public opinion has shifted significantly in recent years, with a growing acceptance of same-sex marriage. Many countries and jurisdictions have legalized gay marriage, recognizing the rights and equality of LGBTQ+ individuals. The arguments against its legalization have been largely unsuccessful in the face of evolving societal attitudes and legal developments.
Remember, these arguments are not representative of all perspectives on the topic, and it is essential to consider a wide range of viewpoints when discussing issues related to marriage equality and LGBTQ+ rights.

I just want Gay marriage supporters to tell me why poltgamist/polyamourous marriage shouldn't be allowed. If you are going to drop the man-woman part why hold so tight to the monogamous part? Bi-sexuals and polys deserve to have their love treated as equally as homosexuals.

An argument could be made that the government should not recognize marriage of any kind since marriage is primarily a religious based thing. The government could move towards only granting civil unions and let churches have their sanctity of marriage.

Because then the Republicans won't have anything to scare people with and people might actually start giving a shit about REAL issues instead of how the family next door is living their life.

What if the woman can not give birth due to disease? What if the man had a vasectomy? No from what you just said you just invalidated every marriage where the couple does not want to have kids or can not have kids. Wouldn't that be ridiculous? I don't think there is anything you can say against gay marriage that would be morally justified. Instead you have to argue against the institution of marriage and its religious and cultural background; make a union secular and purely government validated. Hope I helped and good luck!

The best argument I could have for this is child custody in a divorce between a gay couple. I'm assuming that in some cases of homosexual marriage there can be instances in which one of the partners is the biological parent to the child and the other may not be (e.g. gay man has a woman artificially inseminated and then the other gay partner adopts the child). In cases like these, although there may be one biological parent both (presumably) have been a caregiver to the child. Suppose they divorce, should the biological parent get all of the rights or should both be given equal custody? How would it be fair for the biological parent to give up their rights to a (since they are divorced) unrelated person? On the flip side, someone who has helped raise the child should get equal rights to see the child since they helped finance and raise the child alongside the biological parent.

Too many databases and software apps would need to be changed to accomodate same sex marriages.

Because marriage should not be a legal issue at all. We should abolish marriage certificates for everyone. Its a private matter.

I've heard some people argue that the state shouldn't be in the business of who marries whom at all. It shouldn't be a legal thing, if two people want to go to a church and "get married" they can but it's got nothing to do with the government. So I guess that counts as being against gay marriage.

If you assume that two consenting adults expressing their love (and a modest enough view of their sexuality for you to know what gender they prefer) is moral then gay marriage is moral. But the other side of the debate assumes the opposite of that. Look at the Justice series on Youtube, Michael Candel (sp?) goes over this discussion from both sides. The main reason presented in the is that if you legalize gay marriage, you are automatically sanctioning it. If it's a law, then society is saying: "we as Americans approve of gay marriage, the purpose of marriage is for two people to be linked together no matter their gender." This is something I would be fine with - but if your religion (or moral code or whatever) doesn't agree, then you might have a problem. I believe this is a teleological argument (what is the Purpose of marriage). If you link homosexuality (or sexuality among consenting adults) to morality, then recognizing gay marriage would be the equivalent of society approving of something you think is wrong. This says nothing about whether gay marriage is right or wrong, only that as a democracy, our government speaks for all of us.

If gay people are happy the anti-depressant pill companies won't get as much money.
