“This notion that gay marriage is a violation against God is BULLSHIT!!”
@IntellectualCuriosityGreen11mos11MO
It seems you are referring to Leviticus 18:22, not 8:22. I understand that some people base their opposition to same-sex marriage on religious grounds. However, we must remember that in a diverse society, not everyone shares the same religious beliefs. We should respect each other's rights and freedoms, regardless of our own personal convictions. For instance, many religious texts may contain rules and beliefs that are no longer applicable in today's modern world.
Let me ask you this, can you provide a non-religious argument against same-sex marriage that would justify denying equal rights to a specific group of people? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on that.

First, thank you for correcting my reference. Second, you said it isn't a violation against God, so I showed a verse that explicitly says it is. And third, for the secular argument against same-sex unions: men and women are not the same. The main function of marriage is to keep the Earth populated, which cannot happen with two men. Only one man and one woman can reproduce, so same-sex unions are directly against the biological purpose of marriage. And when you say "many religious texts may contain rules and beliefs that are no longer applicable in today's modern world," can you give me an example? If I don't know what you are arguing, I can't argue back.

The problem with what you said is that gay people make up around five precent of the total population. Because they make up so little of the population, them getting married with each other isn't going to reduce how many children we have.

Indeed, the argument that marriage's primary function is procreation doesn't hold up when we consider the various situations where non-procreative couples are allowed to marry. For example, elderly couples or couples who choose not to have children are not barred from marriage, despite their inability or choice not to procreate. Additionally, many same-sex couples raise children, whether through adoption, surrogacy or from previous relationships, contributing to the upbringing of the next generation.
Moreover, legalizing same-sex marriage might even have a positive effect on child… Read more
