Argument 5

Argument 5, Detrimental to society by way of litigations

Again I will state (H) as being the act of same-gender marriage.  If homosexuality continues to be accepted by state law the economic status of that state will fall.  Discrimination cases would cause an overwhelming amount of businesses being sued for the refusal of service due to personal or religious reasons.  I believe this to be true based on the media fueled fire recently unleashed on Chic-fil-A for simply taking a position in opposition of homosexuality.

Consider the following syllogism;

 

The legalization of (H) would cause litigation

Any act that institutes a means for litigation against businesses is wrong

If (H) provides means of litigation against business, then (H) is wrong

Unfortunately this valid statement is a rather weak case due to the already piling amount of litigations against businesses due to racial discrimination as well as gender discrimination.  If we deny (H) then we would have to also deny African Americans the right to be black.  Another reason this premise is false is that most businesses are aware of their own rights and can also take the proper legal steps required to honestly defend themselves against most allegations, thus making this argument not sound.
