Debates against gay rights

This didn't seem to do justice to either to what marriage means, nor the profound change to that meaning that same sex marriage entailed. I thought gay marriage - that's what we used to call it - would prove one of the less controversial reforms coming in the wake of so many civil rights battles that had already been fought and won. Good things can happen for unsound reasons and there have been loads offered for same-sex marriage - that it will be "good for business" being perhaps the most egregious example. My search for an alternative set of conceptual tools led me to Michael Sandel , one of America's best-known living political philosophers. Their rationale is that homosexuality is immoral, and that Scouts are expected to have certain moral standards and values, as the Scout Oath and Scout Law requires boys to be "morally straight". But younger white evangelicals have grown more supportive: But the tone of our public discussion matters and progressives need to own some of the blame.

With the procreation argument, opponents of equality argue that the institution of marriage is essentially in place to assist with procreation and the raising of children. Whenever one violates the natural moral order established by God, one sins and offends God. Another argument against homosexual marriage is that, Marriages are for ensuring the continuation of the species.
