Though i agree that all people should be respected and free to do and live as they choose, and also that homosexuality in anyway should not be criminalzed or homosexuals ostracized and punished in any way. I coud never support gay marraige regardless of religion, i could be an atheist and never support it. The problem in this day and age is that no one wants to be intolerant or offend good people by saying that their "actions arent good," even if that would mean stating the truth. I just want to list totally objective, non religioius reasons why I could never support the whole modern gay agenda, which funny enough even after the legalization of gay marraige in the u.s, has not calmed down.
1) Its a scientific and biological fact that the human specias has a male and female variety specifically to engage in sexual activity with eachother and not with members of their own sex. Its interesting because most people like to yell and scream at religious for being irrational, and unscientific but when something so clear and evident as the relationship between men and women comes into play, they almost begin to start speaking spiritually about love and tolerance, things that have no weight on the actual fact that all children even gays have a mother and a father, and this is literally the only way to keep the human existence going. Marraige may be a social construct and even a religious one, but what it does is it reflects and stabalizes the most natural, healthy and biological form of the sexual relationship and ensures for the well being of the members in this relationship ( the parents and children). To say that " Oh this doesnt affect me, they should be allowed to be married" is completely false as it changes all of society and comes into complete contradiction with the most basic facts of life. It equates a relationship that is totally fruitless and makes it equal to a relationship which is literally the cause of all of existence. With out homosexual relationships the world would go on thriving and developing as it always has, with out heterosexual relationships humans would cease to exists. It doesnt theoretically affect me if everyone claims the sky is red, but the fact is, is that its blue and im scared to live in a soceity that denies the most simple basic facts of life.
2) the argument that homosexuality does not lead to other declines in morals that regardless of religion have a negative impact on society is false. The acceptance of homosexuality as a healthy practice has always been a hallmark of declining socieities. The Romans were able to conquer the greeks because the ancient greeks became so morally in want that their population fell while the ancient romans grew. Homosexuality had a large part to play in this, funnily enough the exact same thing occured to the Romans when because of so much moral depravity ( homosexuality, the killing of children, there are literally hills of baby bones found outside the city walls of Rome because romans were killing their children so much) the population fell and romans didnt have enough men to fill the ranks in their military while germanic tribes to the north had a population boom and then easily destoryed the ancient roman empire. Im not blaiming personally homosexuality for the falling birth rates in western countries but simply saying that when the most basic family unit isnt held with esteem and respect and is placed on the same level as a relationship that is fruitless this is what happens. The complete schism in rational thinking in society when we accept these things to be equal becomes so great that a society begins to slowly collaps. A proof of the opposite is the fact that Russia is the only european country which now is having a growing population rate can directly be attributed to Putin outlawing homosexual propganda and instead filling Russia with propoganda promoting the classic family. Putin is no dummy he knows just as I know how much of an effect these things have on society really do have.
3) classical arguments in favor of homosexuality fall under real scritiny. I really read extensively to see if there was scientific backing of homosexuals being born this way or some how homosexuality being normal to the human experience and not just a mental gearing of sexual desires in a wrong way and could find no strong support of the homosexual agenda. there is no scientific evidence that homosexuals are genetically different in any way than non homosexual ones and that any study claiming this, has essentially been extremely pseudo scientific and counter intuitive. things like ' the youngest brother tends to have lower rates of testosterone than older brothers could have an effect on sexual orientation" are not proofs in favor of homosexuality. Lower testosterone would mean a lack in sex drive not that someone is gay, and gay people do not have a lack in sex drive and many gay men are extremely masculine. there are hundreds of other so called studies stating similar nonsense. The argument that animals also exhibit homosexual behavior is extremely weak and down right one of the worst arguments in favor of gay marraige. Humans are actually the only species to exhibit exclusive homosexuality as animals exhibit all sorts of sexual behaviors. You only have to observe how a dog may mount a human leg, another male dog, an object or lastly a female to realize sexual desire is sexual desire it can be geared in many ways. Animals also exhibit traits such as rape, murder, and incest. we do not want to use animals as an example of how humans should behave. there is no real reason to believe gays were born that way and did not become that way through some type of mental complex. Its very easy for me to see that someone may have been molested as a chid and now has a mental complex towards the opposite sex but still wants to be in a relationship so they naturaly feel comfortable in the gay community or that the opposite may occur. I once knew a person who worked with young teenage boys who had been molested and they told me that one of the main questions they had always was they think they may be gay now, as though the experience of being molested was horrible, still because sexual experiences are some how pleasurable in a way they found it somehow attracitve, almost a stokholm syndrome thing in a way. Im not sayng all gay people are this way because of this but there are many many normal mental processes that can lead someone to consider themselves gay.
3) If two adults who give consent and arent hurting eachother is the only requirment for what should be legal and accepted then why dont we accept incestious relationships? There are many cases each year of grow daughters and sons who are adults having sexual relationships with their parents. If they are both adults and consenting who are you to say these people should not be married? most of you would claim that was sick and gross, but guess what thats exactly what people were saing ten years ago and you called them intolerant for it. All of the exact arguments can be used in favor of incest. If you dont admit this and support both gay peoples rights to marry as well as parents and children who are adults then you are a hypocrite.
these are just some of my thoughts on this topic. I really dont mean to offend anyone especially if you are gay, no body is perfect, im definitely not but I wanted to just put a different perspective out there than what everyone these days is doing.
