There's one problem here. The entire argument was about whether gay people were good parents. That was the argument raised, that gay people don't make good patents.Its not about how good parents are.. above is completely irrelevant. I have no doubt that same sex couples can be good role models to kids. but that's a separate issue...
There's just two major problems with that:Its about the ability to naturally procreate and ensure continuation of the human race.
A) many areas on the earth are currently suffering from overpopulation. If you wanted to protect the future of the human race then you'd stop people from breeding altogether
B) there is a massive surplus of children orphans due to a lack of good parents to adopt them. Gay marriage would actually help here
Even without science, yes. Humans would see the dire problem and suck it up and take one for the team but this is also a flawed point. "in the absence of science", nope. Can't happen. Science exists just as we exist.In the absence of science, if everyone was gay, would the human race be extinct?
Oddly enough there's an argument from the 1940s that is very similar when there was discussion of providing more rights to black people that goes, "Sure rights can help men but they should only be used to protect those who are God's children"Sure science can help out but it should only be to assist people who fundamentally have the tools to conceive a child
The funniest part about that argument is that God's children are more likely black or brown and they think that God is a white.
Hundreds of years ago planes didn't exist, neither did computers, forums, sport, football teams, etc. Maybe we should ban those too.A man cannot carry a child, nor can a women produce sperm to fertilise. You need one of each, that is how humans are designed to procreate. Marriage is as I understand to fortify this.
Which brings us back to the simple question. Why is it not for them?Again, I have no issue with gay community, do what makes you happy, I have many friends that are gay, love em. But for the most part the gay lifestyle precludes them from having a child that belongs to both of them. No different to the german man who wants to represent Australia.. Marriage is just not for them.
You can day "because they can't produce a child". But we don't ban sterile people from getting. Married so... M
