Name a real reason why gay marriage should be banned without mentioning religion. I’ll wait because there isn’t one.

Almost nothing should be banned if it doesn’t directly harm another person!

Devils advocate: Population deficiency is a real issue, only attempting to solve it with immigration is a poor idea. Marriage and the benefits therein should be reserved for straight couples because they are the only ones who can physically reproduce with each other. Don’t hit me with a whattaboutism about infertile people

Actually gay and lesbian couples can have kids too! It’s called adoption :)! Also what’s the point of having more kids when everything is too expensive? There’s a reason why my generation is having less kids, staying single, or just adopting if they actually want a kid. Birthing a child is also just miserable in this country it’s over 30,000 dollars just to have a kid. Also you can’t say “I don’t want to hear about infertile people” when it’s practically the same deal. You adopt.

Adoption is not a solution to needing more people. Adoption does not add a child to the population, it just moves a child already in the population to a new place. My point as to why marriage should remain between men and women without touching religion is that they PRODUCE children and help lessen the population crisis we seem to be staring down. I understand it is expensive to have kids, but married, straight couples usually make it work.

Reproduction doesn’t require marriage though, so it makes very little sense to restrict it to straight couples for that reason. If we’re solely focusing on reproduction, it would make far more sense to just boost benefits for anyone with children.

Making it illegal doesn’t mean all gay people will become straight and have kids. Stop with the “devils advocate” you’re just a devil

Banning marriage won’t prevent a relationship. Gay people will still be together, just not legally consummated. So banning gay marriage doesn’t solve the problem you’re playing Devil’s advocate for.

We don’t have a statistically significant population deficiency to be concerned, even so marriage does not correlate with reproduction (did you know we’re the only species that does marriage but 1000 species are gay) stop being a piece of shit

Fuck yall, I’m trying to offer a different argument, not be berated for beliefs I don’t hold. This is why nobody wants to engage genuinely on this platform.

Everyone besides me has only offered a counter to the devils advocacy. You can’t be emotional when the harshest criticism you got in the last 20 minutes was your responses aren’t working well to advocate against it

Do you think the government should force people to have children? Shouldn’t you be allowed to choose how many children you have.
