Some have jt not been exposed to the right arguments, and so I will monstrate here that each anti-gay marriage argument ultimately serv to opprs or imply the lser stat of the mory of which I am a part. In rallyg agast the troductn of equal marriage, relig mpaigners have equently strsed that their objectns are not driven by homophobia, and have ployed numero arguments to monstrate this.

GAY MARRIAGE: THEOLOGIL AND MORAL ARGUMENTS

The studi ced by actively homophobic anisatns like the Coaln for Marriage were fund by anti-gay anisatns, or have basic methodology flaws – for example, they would pare married straight upl wh un-wed gay upl, or they would take a person who may have had a sgle cur experience wh the same sex and fe them as exclively homosexual.

Arguments based on “tradnal fay” will always be sultg, not jt to the healthy, well-adjted children of gay upl, but to the children raised by sgle parents, step-parents, grandparents, godparents, foster parents, and siblgs. Type B: The Arguments That Don’t Even Bother to Hi Their Homophobia While we mt look closely to spot the homophobia herent some arguments agast gay marriage, wh others the prejudice is barely disguised at all. ” Ignorg the fact not everyone is gay, and also ignorg the fact gay people n and do have children through donors and surrogat, I actually que enjoyed the apolyptic imag this argument njured.

Given centuri of relig persecutn of gay people is entirely jtified to ll Lord Carey, the Coaln for Marriage, Christian Concern, and all other proactive opponents of gay marriage “bigots” and their arguments homophobic. The vast majory of scientific studi that have directly pared lbian and gay parents wh heterosexual parents have nsistently shown that the same-sex upl are as f and pable parents as heterosexual upl, and that their children are jt as psychologilly healthy and well adjted.

The term “homosexualy, ” while sometim nsired anachronistic the current era, is the most applible and easily translatable term to e when askg this qutn across societi and languag and has been ed other cross-natnal studi, cludg the World Valu Survey. Dpe major chang laws and norms surroundg the issue of same-sex marriage and the rights of LGBT people around the world, public opn on the acceptance of homosexualy society remas sharply divid by untry, regn and enomic velopment. For example, some untri, those who are affiliated wh a relig group tend to be ls acceptg of homosexualy than those who are unaffiliated (a group sometim referred to as relig “non”).

For example, Swen, the Netherlands and Germany, all of which have a per-pa gross domtic product over $50, 000, acceptance of homosexualy is among the hight measured across the 34 untri surveyed. The study is a follow-up to a 2013 report that found many of the same patterns as seen today, although there has been an crease acceptance of homosexualy across many of the untri surveyed both years. However, while took nearly 15 years for acceptance to rise 13 pots om 2000 to jt before the feral legalizatn of gay marriage June 2015, there was a near equal rise acceptance jt the four years sce legalizatn.

This staggerg 56-pot difference exceeds the next largt difference Japan by 20 pots, where 92% and 56% of those ag 18 to 29 and 50 and olr, rpectively, say homosexualy should be accepted by society. In South Korea, for example, those who classify themselv on the iologil left are more than twice as likely to say homosexualy is acceptable than those on the iologil right (a 39-percentage-pot difference).

WHY NOT ALLOW GAY MARRIAGE?

But even untri like France and Germany where acceptance of homosexualy is high, there are differenc between supporters and non-supporters of key right-wg populist parti such as Natnal Rally France and Alternative for Germany (AfD). Relign, both as relat to relative importance people’s liv and actual relig affiliatn, also plays a large role perceptns of the acceptabily of homosexualy many societi across the globe.

In 25 of the 34 untri surveyed, those who say relign is “somewhat, ” “not too” or “not at all” important their liv are more likely to say that homosexualy should be accepted than those who say relign is “very” important. Among Israelis, those who say relign is not very important their liv are almost three tim more likely than those who say relign is very important to say that society should accept homosexualy.

For example, those who are religly unaffiliated, sometim lled relig “non, ” (that is, those who intify as atheist, agnostic or “nothg particular”) tend to be more acceptg of homosexualy. Though the opns of religly unaffiliated people n vary wily, virtually every untry surveyed wh a sufficient number of unaffiliated rponnts, “non” are more acceptg of homosexualy than the affiliated.
