http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life Is the rise of acceptance surrounding homosexuality good or bad? en-us You can't tell me that media, life style and exposure play a role in being or NOT being gay. Not every gay person is homosexual by genetics. Often people are influenced into being gay. . eastwind Fri, 26 Oct 2007 04:07:42 +0000 http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life Families can't naturally grow without a man and a woman. . Children should get a healthy dose of parental guidance from both a male and female figure to be psychologically balanced. What about the single mothers, or fathers out there? Homosexuality in no way detracts from society or the growth of the world. The world would be fucked with or without us. We are not to blame. That is why we as a society do not allow single parents to raise children even if they are the biological parent. I think not..... I personally believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman. . Who cares what you personally believe? Your belief should have nothing to do with someone else's personal life. That's not even an argument, stupid.

Straight people and their insanely high divorce rate are fucking your family structure up. Stop trying to scapegoat the homosexuals. ramrod Sat, 27 Oct 2007 16:22:50 +0000 http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life Homosexuality is not a choice. It is based on psychology and biology. Saying that it is bad for values is like saying that being female, or being red-headed is bad for values. (both of these things have been asserted by Christians before) Links:. American Psychologyical Association. American Medical Association.

Gays are more than the stereotypes and offer lots to society, if only given the chance. .

Also, marriage traditionally and naturally has been men and women, but in this day and age, can we honestly be so picky? Ideal is great, but ideal isn't always realistic. Homosexuality may be settling in many ways, but if we each focus on our own lives, our own values, and let realistic conditions overcome ideal, homosexuality has a place in this world. lindsayloo14 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 02:38:43 +0000 http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life Those who say that homosexuality is eroding society should also remember that as of the 1960's, it was still illegal to marry outside of your race (Loving v Virginia). . And let's not forget that femme coveture said that women were the property of men. That is also ridiculous in this day and time. So, in fifty years, do you want to look back at this absurd idea of homosexuality and cringe? turtlegirl78 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 08:25:01 +0000 http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life By saying that a child always needs a male and female role model, of the ever popular 'both parents,' you are effectively snubbing your nose at every single parent out there, working their butt off to create a good, loving environment to their kids!. Furthermore, by saying it isn't natural for a child to be born into this type of environment also undermines every person who has adopted or used fertility drugs to have children. Obviously, the cosmos didn't think they should have children either! When was the last time you saw a child on the news that was abused, molested or killed by one partner or a homosexual couple? . turtlegirl78 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 08:22:10 +0000 http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life http://www.riledup.com/debate/128/warning-gays-are-destroying-our-way-of-life
