Argument 3


Argument 3 Can leave a child without mother/father/Syllogism

Homosexuality(H), in this case being the act of same-sex marriage, is wrong because it leaves some children without a father or mother.  This act is wrong because children may not get the proper upbringing, which means a son will have no father to teach him how to be a man and visa versa for a daughter.  Consider this syllogism

(H) denies children a mother or father

Any act that denies a child a mother or father is wrong.

If (H) denies a child a mother or father then it is wrong.

Therefore, (H) is wrong

Though logically stated, this premise is false because not all people who marry ever have children.  Given this information some homosexual relationships do not even consider children.  Another counter argument would be that we do not restrict the rights of single parent homes so how could we say that same-sex parental guidance is wrong?
