If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.

If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
Yes, you. Because there's nothing you can do if you're gay, because that's in your genes and it would be very bad if you are gay but punishes anyone can do nothing.
I don't think being gay is in a person's genes. It's a choice. This question has been on Create debate in a variety of ways.....so I think the problem is resolved in the first debate about gay marriage.
Well maybe you are talking about some trans-gender people. I've seen a photo of fraternal sisters. They're only fraternal because of alcoholic deformities caused by their parents. Is that what you mean?
pretty sure it is in your genes, if a debate on this site said "the world is going to end tommarow?" and the winning position would you believe it? NO I highly doubt that and get some better credited sources then a debate between random people on a debating site that just lets anyone in. if it was really a choice do you think you could get with a man and enjoy it? even if they're was no gene, how is it a problem? if it was really a choice, and they chose to be gay, (which I doubt) whats really wrong with that?
I disagree with you. Not just genes influence your orientation, upbringing and environment do it also. Some boys, for example, had a lot of problems during their childhood, that is why they are gays. May be some peopleeeeeeee who were sitting at prison and were very week become gays too, but there is no gay genes in their organism.
ok wheres your statistics to prove this because you are not going to get anywhere with ridiculous statements like that. genes for the most part make up your orientation, environment probably has little influence if any. if environment influences sexuality as much as you say it does, why are you staiaght.
Yes, I know, scientists found "gay genes", which influence on sexual orientation, but if you feel you like a person who are the same gender as you, you may do an operation and become a girl. It will be better, because it is so awful to see boys, who should be strong and protecting, and they are like flowers.
Why do you think they do not do anything bad? And what about moral principles? What about our childre, who are looking at them and want to be like them. Is it Ok?? I think No!
homosexuality in itself does not harm anyone, if two guys want to be together that only affects them and them only.
" And what about moral principles?"
whats morally wrong with gay marriage? it doesn't hurt anyone else.
"What about our childre, who are looking at them and want to be like them."
maybe it isn't 0 genes, maybe it is. im very sure it mostly has to do with genes though if completely, I have a hard time believing that children are going to turn gay because their role models are gay. secondly why would I care if my children are gay it wouldn't bother me in the least bit.
" Is it Ok?? I think No!"
provide a better argument then the ridiculous assertion that kids will turn gay themselves, or simply stating its a moral problem without even including a logic to as why it would. Give me a rational reason to care weather or not people like the same sex.
Yes...love is love is love is love. It's really no ones business on how someone chooses to live their lives. If it makes you uncomfortable, don't look at it. It's really that simple. People should have the ability to love and be with whoever they choose without being looked down upon. Marriage should be between two people who are in love. If a man and man or woman and woman are in love, why should they be stopped from doing so? I just don't understand why so many people are against it. People shouldn't interfere in others lives. Just let people be. Simple.
Love doesn't long forever. If now you love a person the same gender, you love will go away in some years, but you will lose respect in the other's eyes.
Definitely. Everyone should have the right to marriage. And don't bring in crap about it "being against religion". Law shouldn't be based off of it in the first place. It only creates more loopholes, has people turn on each other, and several laws would be based off of sins (yes, I said it) such as social discrimination.
i think that if a girl and another girl wants to get married then they should. or a guy and a guy!!! it's their life!! the gove. has no write to take away their right to b free!!!
Yes, gay marriage should be accepted because it is a humans rights to love and live with the person that they have chosen. Gay people should not be exception for this. And besides nobody knows whether gay people were born like this or it is just a mass - media influence. What if they really were born that way? Even if not, they are not harming society, they just should be a part of it. Gay people are still people despite their life choice, that is why gay marriage should be accepted.
But it influence on other people, next generation. Imagine that our children would be gays. Is it cool??? Nooooo. Personally, I don't wan tmy child to ba a gay.
it is the saddest thing that this argument is so close. those who think gay marriage is wrong, ROT IN FUCKING HELL YOU STUPID PIECES OF SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love should be accepted throughout the world. Since rituals that bind two together symbolically have no consequence to other people, other then those who attend the wedding and spend money on gifts, there is no reason to not promote it since it furthers the spread of worldly love.
today two men deeply love each other and want to make a family and society accepts that. And tomorrow someone will talk about his love with his dog and what humanity will do? They accept that. Moreover, there will be groups of scientists who will “prove”, that dog loves man too. And that he won’t have a choice, because "biology dictates sex orientation"
The whole "slippery slope" argument isn't much more than one big non sequitur.
First, the "support one, support them all" concept just doesn't pan out. Is it not possible to like poultry and fish without liking red meat? Can't a person justify our actions in Afghanistan while demonizing our actions in Iraq? The reason why there are different attitudes about seemingly similar things is due to the fact that "similar" does not equal "the same." Each form of sexuality is a different beast, and to equate homosexuality to bestiality is absurd. Bestiality involves animals who are incapable of choosing or properly understanding their actions. The sex is also likely to injure one or both parties. That is why why it is immoral. Similar reasoning for pedophilia also makes that immoral. If incest results in pregnancy, the child has a higher chance of deformity, so that can be identified as a bad thing as well.
But homosexuality? Two consenting adults? Where is the harm in that? If it does no harm, we shouldn't legislate against it, but we can still seek to reduce those things that do cause harm or that limit the choices of an innocent creature. The slope really isn't terribly slippery.
No.. God has created man and woman.. He has not created gay,,, They cannot have a baby, even after adoptin ther chil will not know about mother and may be in the future it may have the same understandings as his fathers and be a gay. Even, if he won't be a gay in the future, his friends and society will mock and laugh at him that he two fathers and no mother...
It will never be excepted by everybody but most people will have to deal with it or ignore the issue I choose to act like its not even there till I hear people crying about it then ill say my opinion :)
When people do acknowledge the existence of gay, then people should let them puruse their happyness. When marriage is the peak of happyness, gays have right to get it.
i know that its their life and they can do what they want but i really dont see it as being normal in my opinion its really strange and it being in ur genes i disagree i think its a choice people make. i feel its weird and gross and shouldnt be dispalyed but to kill them just because of thier lifestlye is wrong also to wrongs dont make a right. but im against it
