Gay Marriage

I used to generally consider myself apolitical, but I guess law school has a way of forcing you to form an opinion. Even still, I usually try to avoid such discussions on here. 

Gay marriage has definitely been a big topic these days, with Robert and Chris (among others) posting their support for it.

I'm somewhat familiar with Goodridge (the landmark Massachusetts case that started a lot of the recent discussion) and the reasoning behind it - so I decided to post a quick discussion for anyone interested.

When this world was created God made two people Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve, Just think if we were meant to be gay then this world would eventually die, how would we reproduce, I think Gay marriages should be outlawed

Franky_402:

Think about how faulty that logic is.

No one is saying "we were meant to be gay" - at least not everyone. Perhaps some are predestined, as I discussed. But allowing those who are to marry or forbidding them to do so has no affect on the ability of those who are heterosexual to marry and/or reproduce.

And you have to remember - reproduction is not a required element of marriage. I can marry my girlfriend if we have no intentions of having children or even if we were physically incapable of doing son.

I hope you're not implying that the sole reason most of us are straight is that we couldn't get married if we were gay....
