I hate to break it to you but there have been same sex couples for as long as there have been people so your not natural argument is defeated by nature. How ironic
Some people don't know a darned thing about human history. At least nothing since 1950's America as portrayed on TV.
marriage helps the natural family unit stay together.
so in the case of the s.s scenario, it is not necessary.
How does marriage reflect the production of children. You don't have to be married to have a child. A marriage does not ensure a family staying together, or have you not heard of divorce. What does divorce reflect? If marriage reflects natures work, then divorce must do so as well.
The purpose of marriage was to bind women to men, to guarantee that a man’s children were truly his biological heirs. Through marriage, a woman became a man’s property. That is all, it wasn't to fulfill some divine family unit or natures calling.
That must be the gay perspective... marriage does not guarantee that the offspring is yours, unless you never heard of infidelity, but it does provide some guarantees for the women that the man will provide for her and her offspring. Even secular divorce has provisions like alimony that ensure support for the women even after the divorce.
It's not that that women was bound to a man through marriage but rather man committed to lifetime support of the women and her offspring.
Prove that homosexuality is unnatural? Prove that it does not occur in nature and is entirely man made.
Prove that it goes against any tradition. Prove that there is a "traditional" concept of marriage.
I want empirical evidence, not your biased uneducated opinion.
Every living organism on this planet works towards ensuring the survivial of the species. This is the primal prerogative.
Homosexuality does not help in this effort, it's counterproductive, neither does gay marriage. That's what makes homosexuality unnatural.

The term deadbeat dad comes to mind. Another ridiculous argument shot down. Look around a bit more I'm sure there are some straws left you can grasp.

The vast, vast, vast majority of female bees don't reproduce. What unnatural, immoral lifestyles most female bees choose to live.

that's one way of looking at it I suppose, though putting a very gay rights spin on it.
as usual, you are dwelling on some of the negative aspects to one of the facets of the historical hetero (ie:normal) situation, and somehow extrapolating that to make a case for allowing s.s. marriage - it's a clear non sequitir though, as usual.
not nothing, but it's just idealism compared to the real deal , ie: that of bringing up your own children.
Well speaking as an adopted child the people I called my parents were the ones that adopted me, not my biological parents who I never met. It seems to me your "real deal" is actually the idealism here.
