For whatever reason Gay Marriage is constantly coming under fire. Despite the heartfelt protestations that legalising gay marriage will disrupt the world and the way we live and result in a catastrophic social – it simply hasn’t happened. Since the early 2000’s Gay Marriage has become legalised in various countries across the world and there still hasn’t been a catastrophic break down of any kind. The majority of arguments towards same sex marriage have no basis on real life events. These include the idea of it being unnatural, despite recorded events within nature that demonstrate the homosexual tendencies between seem animals.
The idea that marriage is for procreation only. Which is kind of hilarious when you consider the amount of ‘bastard’ children out there and when being a ‘bastard’ was considered to be a big deal. Nowadays this is not even remotely, an issue. Further, even if you consider the literary works of Jane Austen, where some of the couples were barren and could not have children, you quickly find that the argument for this falls rather flat on its face.
That gay marriage is a threat to the sanctity of marriage is another common argument. However, whilst I do agree that some view marriage as a sacred covenant with divorce rates higher than they’ve ever been and steadily increasing, it’s hard to apply this argument to the majority of people. It’s similar to the it’ll harm the children argument, whereby a lot of failed relationships do try and stick together for the children and at least have an amicable relationship , there are a lot of people out there who can’t. the research on the benefits of having both a mother and a father in a child’s life is varied, however how can you deny a child two loving parents as opposed to one struggling to make ends meet because they’re a single parent with kids. That’s not to put single parent families in a bad light, not in the slightest, but in order to put forward the argument that kids are suffering you need to have a look at all relationship types. My argument here is that it’s not necessarily about the family type that it is, across cultures and across households there are a myriad of different family types out there. I am simply suggesting that it is the love, support and care provided by the household and the family unit which go a long way in the healthy development of a child.
For all or you out there that have been under fire because you support or want same sex marriage. Here are some great and humorous comebacks.
- ‘Jesus had two dads and he turned out fine!’
- ‘Even if being gay was a choice. So what! Many heterosexual people choose to be assholes yet they can also choose to get married.’
- ‘Jesus used to hang out with 12 guys and a prostitute. He was more like me than you.’
- ‘All you heterosexuals out there. We want the opportunity to be miserable too.’
- ‘You may be denying me the right to marriage but I still get more (dick/pussy) than you’.
- ‘Three words that may alleviate the GFC. Gay Bridal Registers’.
- ‘If Liza Minelli could marry two gay men, why can’t I marry just one?’
- ‘If you don’t like Gay Marriage blame the straight couples out there. They keep having gay babies.’
Four gay marriage myths busted:
- Different things are more critical: Who could contend that a wedding is more critical than what number of dollars, weapons and Border Force faculty Australia has? In any case, what this rationale neglects to recognize (aside from the significance of affection and stuff), is that legislative issues and parliaments routinely manage more than one issue at once. At a standard single gathering room meeting, MPs effortlessly consider more than 10 bills. What’s more, numerous, various bills precede both chambers and get voted on in a solitary day of Parliament. It’s called power strolling and biting without sugar gum in the meantime.
- Same-sex marriage is a corner issue: Information discharged for the current week by the Australian Bureau of Statistics demonstrates that 3 for each penny of Australia’s grown-up populace, or about a large portion of a million people, recognize as gay, lesbian, swinger or another sexual introduction other than hetero. So this is not an issue that influences anyplace almost a larger part of the populace specifically. Be that as it may, these a large portion of a million people have family and companions who additionally have a stake in it. Also, this contention disregards the overviews that more than once put support for same-sex marriage in the general group well over the 50 for every penny mark. Be that as it may, since when was legislative issues pretty much what suited the lion’s share? Legislative issues – especially in a vote based system – is more nuanced than that. Also, can extend to delivering rights and advance for minorities.
- It would be excessively bizarre for the administration, making it impossible to consider a private part’s bill: While it is unquestionably not de rigueur for the legislature of the day to consider any odd bill that a private part (non-frontbench MP) may deliver, it is not unthinkable or unbelievable. Indeed, even on enormous changes. The lifting of the RU486 boycott was set up by a cross-party private part’s bill in 2006. In the 1920s mandatory voting (necessary voting!) was presented by means of a private part’s number. A vital specialized note here is that the PM himself said any same-sex bill before Parliament ought to be a cross-party one. On the off chance that an administration frontbencher is not going to support it (which can’t happen, given the Liberal Party’s approach), then by definition it must be a private part’s bill.
- Shouldn’t something be said about the children? A typical center of the same-sex marriage rivals – especially the Australian Christian Lobby – is the offspring of gay couples. In any case, while individuals can contend that youngsters require a father and a mum, same-sex couples are as of now permitted to have their own kids. In the 2011 Census, 10 for every penny of same-sex couples had kids living with them. That stallion has shot. All the more essentially, concentrates additionally demonstrate that children brought up in same-sex families are growing fine and dandy – now and then far superior to their heterosexually parented associates. As Australia methodologies a vote on same-sex marriage, hope to hear increasingly contentions regarding why it ought not happen (like, what will Asia think!?) as adversaries acknowledge there is a genuine prospect it will.
