Traditionally the term marriage has always been referred to as the union of a man and a woman. This has always been viewed and taken as both a serious and sacred thing. Thus at a time in human history, when common sense and logic seem to be lacking from human civilization, gay marriage can only be viewed in terms of folly and corruption. I agree that corruption may sound a bit harsh or overbearing in this case, but when you consider the traditional marriage, then substitute a modern portrait of the same sex joining in holy matrimony, corrupt is the first word that comes to mind. Although, primary arguments against gay marriage are mostly based on emotion, there are some other, more concrete reasons for its ban. The most popular one is religion. In many different versions of the bible, and in various religious beliefs, it is forbidden, or sinful to engage in sexual activity with someone of the same sex; let alone marry them.

Marriage DaySome advocates against gay marriages argue that the idea of same sex marriages combat s the idea of procreation (at least in the traditional manner). All of these arguments will serve as adequate grounds as to why gay marriage should be banned. Also I feel that since homosexuals cannot natural conceive and get married without intention to conceive, they do not deserve the title of marriage.
The idea of same sex marriage is untraditional, the idea of a traditional marriage is already decaying with at least 40% of Americans getting divorces and having single parent household. Those who grow up in single parent households grow up thinking it okay to be a single parent. Which in turn leads to a generation of individuals who consider it okay to be single parents, this same...

"the children they adopt will also in turn feel like it is okay to be gay, thus increasing the number of gay Americans" This is sheer and utter ignorance - PEOPLE DO NOT CHOOSE TO BE GAY. Please could you provide statistical evidence which proves your statement that homosexual couples adopting is making it difficult for heterosexual couples to adopt. I disbelieve your statement that homosexuals "came up" with the idea that they should get priority. Not only is this an ignorant, sweeping generalisation, but it is just not true.
Basing your argument on the Bible is weak. Since when was the Christian perspective the only perspective, and where has it been proven that what is written in the Bible is right? A democracy should give equal rights to everyone - of all cultures, religions and sexuality. Please consider there are other opinions as well as Christianity, and that NONE of them are proven to be right. You are basing your argument on the existence of God, which I have to point out to you, is a subjective belief, not a proven one. It is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS your ignorance of HIV. HIV is not merely a homosexual disease - it is passed between male and female as well. Your assumption that HIV would be rife if gay marriage was legalised is fundamentally flawed for two reasons.
Firstly you are making the assumption that all homosexuals do not practice safe sex.
Secondly you are making the assumption that sexual intercouse between same sex couples would actually increase because marriage was legalised. Homosexuals, like heterosexuals, have regular sex in relationships as well you know. Just because marriage isn't legal doesn't mean people aren't having sex! And why are homosexuals liable to die at a younger age!?
