If you are against gay marriage, explain why without mentioning religion

Yeah just what i don't understand, this sort of thing has nothing to do with anyone but the individual concerned. So what if they are gay, let them marry or whatever you lot think it should be called, let them adopt children. As long as they are in a happy, bonding relationship between each other and there families, there is no reason to treat them any different to a more "traditional" family. This issue is personal and yet most people feel it's neccesary to make it something that concerns them.

Again marriage is mostly a legal term, say, to defend you proprietary interests if you get divorced or smth. Of course, there could be other definitions, including sacral, if you're religious person, but that none of a business of the rest of the society. You could easily settle those things individually by signing marital agreement. The concern of the society are kids and their well-being. Which brings a question how we should qualify homosexua families, my position is rather clear -- define them as disadvantaged families that might bring harm, unless of course if you think that parenting has no connection to child psychology and/or society is unaware of itself.

 

But how would you know if they are loving parents or not, unless they are allowed to adopt. There are probably gay couples out there that would make better parents than a heterosexual one. If you see that the kid has bad parents (gay or not), they should be treated the same as anyone else would. And how exactly are they disadvantaged? It shouldn't matter who there parents are, as long as they are happy and have a good life. But it's like people think i'm in a so called "disadvantaged family" because i'm in a single parent family. I'm nearly 18 now and have never needed my dad, and i'm fine. I think you are far more disadvantaged if you have 2 abusive parents than 2 loving gay parents to be honest. I can understand that society cares about the children, but it shouldn't bother them who there parents are, as long as you can tell that they are fine. People just need to be more tolerant to these people
