Don't forget about Bob Jones U!

If college students were representative of the United States population, I am quite certain this particular gender issue would be excised from "Taking Sides." Recent surveys have shown there's almost universal approval from both liberal and conservative university students of homosexual marriage and, by implied extension, belief that they can raise and support offspring. However, both the uneducated and the older generation still tends to be split on the issue. Emblematic of the anti-gay marriage movement is the tabloid-esque conservative media.

I'll let Bryan Safi of Current TV's InfoMania give a run-down of the average arguments against homosexual marriage today.

As you can see from the above link, religion plays a major role in why there still exists opposition to homosexual marriage. I'm seriously surprised Dailey didn't just flat-out say "IT'S SINFUL, THEREFORE BAD," although his slipshod arguments weren't too far off. Overall, rather than debating within a collegiate atmosphere of whether we think homosexual couples can make good couples, we should pool our collective minds together to determine how we can respectfully enforce the right for homosexuals to marry and raise children on a national level. That way, we're actually accomplishing something, rather than just debating a topic we largely (possibly, at least in this class, universally?) agree on.

1.) How would you address the arguments of someone who uses religion to discredit homosexual marriage?

2.) How would you address the arguments of someone who implies that homosexuals tend to be more "immoral" than heterosexuals?
