  2. Cons of Gay Marriage • Religious views of marriage • “The traditional family” • Societal consequences

  3. Religious Views of Marriage • Between one man and one woman • “Homosexual marriage is a sin” • Sharing benefits equally • Keeps homosexual couples from having the same benefits as a married couple • Immigration sponsorship • Social security • Survivor benefits • Priority of human remains of deceased spouse

  4. The Traditional Family • Belief that there will be an increase in fatherlessness and wedlock • Confusion of gender roles • Studies done to show the outcome • Positive differences noticed

  5. Social Consequences • Could lead to: • Changing certain laws • Fathers marrying daughters • People marrying their pets • Polygamy • Less marrying and loss of historic meaning and understanding (The Threat to Marriage)

  6. Pros of Gay Marriage • Allows people to be happy with the person that they love • Couples will receive the same benefits as other heterosexual couples

  7. Mediation • Allowing homosexuals to join in a civil union • It does not go against religious views (one man and one woman) • It will not keep children that have homosexual parents from being any different • Allows people to be happy
