    The opposition argues against legalizing same-sex marriage for several reasons: 1) Same-sex couples cannot biologically reproduce, which may disadvantage straight couples seeking to adopt, and could lead to a declining population. 2) Children raised by same-sex parents may face bullying and lack a balanced upbringing with both a mother and father figure. 3) Studies have shown children with opposite-sex parents have better educational and social outcomes, and those with gay parents can face attachment issues. 4) While discrimination impacts all, the opposition argues that legalizing same-sex relationships only considers how it benefits some rather than society as a whole.

    Same sex Marriage (Opposition)

    Leader of Opposition:

    Goodafternoon. I am the leader of the opposition, and there are several reasons why we are against
    same-sex marriage. One of the reason is that, they are unable to reproduce yes they can adopt children.
    However, take consideration the difficulties that kids with gay parents may encounter, even if gay
    marriage is already legalized, not all accept and embrace this practice, particularly kids. Opponents of
    gay marriage claim that making this marriage between homosexuals legal can bring problems in the
    future especially when children are involved. Children of homosexuals and lesbians may be prone to
    bullying at schools and some even end up being physically hurt by other kids.

    Also, these kids need both a father and a mother figure in order to have a balanced and typical
    childhood. Playing gender roles can be challenging, particularly if biological and physical factors are
    involved. If a boy grows up with two women, with the other one playing the role of the father or both
    plays the role of mothers, father image will be lacking and the couple cannot answer questions typically
    asked by boys to fathers, say, the physical changes in the body. Same goes for girls living with two-male
    parents
    Deputy Leader of Opposition

    Goodafternoon, I am the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. By allowing married gay couples to legally
    adopt children and given that they might find it difficult and expensive to have children of their own,
    there will be an increase in the number of child adoption applications. This might lead to more straight
    couples who are also interested to adopt not being given priority since they have bigger chances to have
    their own children.

    Another effect of not being able to reproduce is that if there are too many gay couples, there will be
    less opportunities for children to be born, which can cause human population to drop significantly over
    time. Even though this could be beneficial for our environment to a certain extent, it could also lead to
    serious problems if we don’t have sufficient children that are born.
    Member of Opposition

    Goodafternoon, we are the members of the opposition and here are some evidences that children or
    teenagers are better to live with the opposite sex parents than the same-sex parents

    Three key findings stood out in this study: children of opposite-sex parents have a high graduation rate
    compared to the children of lesbian families, having a very low graduation rate and 58 children living in
    married families, 58 living with cohabiting heterosexuals, and 58 living in homosexual unions. The
    authors found that married couples offer the best environment for a child's social and educational
    development also the women with gay or bisexual fathers had difficulty with adult attachment issues in
    three areas: first they were less comfortable with closeness and intimacy; second they were less able to
    trust and depend on others; and third they experienced more anxiety in relationships. Studies also
    found that young-adult children (ages 18–39) of parents who had same-sex relationships before the
    subjects had reached the age of 18 were more likely to suffer from a broad range of emotional and
    social problems.
    Opposition Whip

    Goodafternoon, I am the Opposition whip.

    (compare our argument to the other sides argument)

    Legalizing same-sex relationships has both positive and negative effects on some people. Bullying and
    discrimination impact everyone involved in the situation, not just those who identify as LGBTQ. Think
    about the impact your activities have on our society as a whole rather than just how you feel or how it
    will benefit you. Thank you.
