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

Actually Homosexuality does still classify a disorder. Just not a psycopathic disorder because it lack 1/4 D's (Dangerous). It does fit the other 3 (Deviance, Distress, and Disfunction).

Deviance describes behavior that goes against how a society feels people should act. First of all, homosexuality isn't a behavior or action; it's a desire. Second of all, homosexuality is accepted in most First World countries; most people don't care about your sexual orientation as long as you don't push it down their throat.

But most importantly, what's inherently wrong with deviance that makes you 'against' it? Are you telling me you're against all behavior just that's not accepted in society? Do you derive all of your values from what society feels should be right? I hope not.

Homosexuality causes distress for some people, not all. And for those some people, the distress is usually caused by society, not by homosexuality itself. Regardless though, homosexuality would only be distressful for certain people, and thus would be a disorder for certain people. For the people who are not distressed with their homosexuality (whom I assume are the majority), it wouldn't be a disorder at all.

People have their own definitions on what qualifies as functional. Some people feel that natural reproduction is necessary for a functional life, and yet plenty of others do not. For those people, homosexuality wouldn't be disfunctional for them, and wouldn't qualify as a disorder. 

Homosexuality is a defect which makes people desire to do acts which are deviant to regular society. Also accepted by many (Many don't accept it, especially in the southern USA and and Asian cultures), it's still different from the normal. People are designed to have sex with oposite genders. The act of homosexuality is deviant in itself.

I told you, I have nothing against homosexuality, I just view it like it is, a disorder/defect. I'd rather there be a cure so that homosexuals can become heterosexuals like they are suppose to be, but the cures which exist now are crap, and they ruin the sex drive among individuals for the most part entirely. I'm fine with gays existing, but that doesn't mean I don't want it to stop.

I don't know the rates of depressions between homosexuals and heterosexuals, but I recall there is a significantly higher occurance. Also, I think all homosexuals are depressed at one point in their life because of this illness.

It doesn't matter what people themselves define as functional. In society you don't need to reproduce to be a functional member of it. However from a genetics point of view, homosexuality is disfunctional. There is no arguement here, people are designed to reproduce sexually, if we were designed to be homosexuals, we would all have some sort of hermaphedite system in us.

Speaking of which, hermaphidites do exist. There are people in the world who are born with either neither sexual organ (and just have a pee-hole), or both sexual organs. Do I have a problem with this? No. Do I want people with these rare illnesses to have the option to be "fixed" of course I do.

 

Do you not wish for there to be a cure for homosexualism? Do you not have sympathy for those who are homosexuals, but wish to be heterosexual?
