Sorry for not posting in a few days! Been busy (back to school and all that) but I'm posting now! So just a run down on my life over the past few days!
So topic 1: debating!! We've been doing debating in English (our teacher seems to be a fan??) and we're debating what I think is a really interesting topic! The motion (basically what the proposition are debating for) is: Should gay couples have the same rights in marriage and addoption as same-sex couples? What do you think?? Here are some points I colleceted for homework:
Points for Proposition and Opposition
The motion: This house believes gay people should have the same rights as heterosexuals in marriage and adoption.
Proposition:
· Gay people have the same feelings as heterosexuals and should be treated equally
· There are currently 16.2 million double-orphans in the world and they should be provided with a safe and happy home whether it be with a mother and father figure or not.
· Parenting is in no way limited to ones biological father and mother. There are many children living in the world with a gay couple as their parents.
Opposition:
· Firstly homosexuals are prone to having a reduced lifespan, depression, and domestic violence. Additionally, Lesbians have three times more of a chance at obtaining breast cancer versus heterosexual females. This causes instability and an environment that isn't safe for the adopted children. Also, the domestic violence point clearly shows instability.
· There is a large number of same-sex couples who are unable to adopt and can provide safe homes for adopted children so Gay people not being able to adopt is not a large problem
. The children they addopt will be bullied or ridiculed for having gay parents.
Ahhhh nothing like a good argument ;) Leave a comment with your thoughts or email me at pruslegendaryworld@hotmail.co.uk
