It will hurt people, because it infringes upon the right of the children to have both a mother *and* a father.
Which parent doesn't a child need? The father? The mother? Why are we not allowed to discriminate against the minority of the population simply because they're "consenting adults", but yet are more than happy to discriminate against the children in any of those relationships? What gives us the right to say that a child isn't allowed to have a certain kind of parent? That's exactly what we're doing whenever we pass legislation that grants rights for homosexual couples to marry.
The fact still remains that homosexuals have exactly the same rights as everyone else with regards to marriage. They can choose to marry someone of the opposite sex, provided that person consents to that marriage. The fact that they choose not to exercise that right does not mean that they don't already have the same rights as everyone else. Why should they be granted "special rights" above everyone else simply because of their sexual preference? That's discrimination against heterosexuals.
A quote that directly relates to this issue: It's all very simple. If anything is marriage, then everything is marriage. And if everything is marriage, then nothing is marriage at all. "'Marriage equality' becomes 'marriage elasticity,' with the ultimate goal of 'marriage extinction.'". If you legislate that homosexual marriage is legal, then the next thing that will legally become marriage will be group marriage (more than one wife or husband, or one of both), then pedophiles can marry, and then necrophiliacs and those who practice bestiality. In short, as soon as you change the definition once because one minority group wants "special rights", all the other minority groups will demand the same "special rights", and "marriage" becomes scum instead of the glorious union between one man and one woman for life that God designed it to be, and ultimately becomes extinct. Marriage is supposed to be exclusive. The purpose for it is so that children would be brought up in a healthy family environment, where they could learn Godly principles and how to live in accordance with God's Word from their parents, and they could then do the same with their children. Nowadays though people only ever care about themselves and what they want. They are too selfish to think about what the children's needs are. "Screw the children, I don't care how they turn out, I just want to be able to marry my same-sex partner." "Screw the children, I don't care how they turn out, I just want to be able to divorce and marry this other person that I've "fallen in love with"." "Screw the children, I don't care how they turn out, I just want to be able to marry this young teenager." Effectively an argument for homosexual marriage comes down to the fact that people are selfish and only want what they want, they couldn't give a stuff about the impact that it has on other people, their children or other people's children. People have come forward to say that not having a mother, or not having a father, severely stunted their personal development. This is the case in broken families (single parents) *and* homosexual relationships. Are we to advocate that millions of future children should be severely stunted in their personal development simply because one minority group wants "special rights"? The only reason that the homosexual community wants the definition of marriage changed is so that they can point to that as a way to "legitimise" and "justify" their choice of relationship and sexual preference. Why should the children have to pay so that they can feel justified in what they're doing?

They can claim spousal benefits, and that bites into our taxes. They can do what they want in private. Mar 25, 22:57
The net benefit to society is from not treating a significant minority as different from everyone else. Mar 25, 23:38
they pay the same taxes as you, why should they get any less benefit? {nm} Mar 26, 09:16

How lovely for victims of spousal abuse. Mar 26, 03:50
Is there any proviso in Scripture that says divorce is ok if your spouse is abusing you? Mar 26, 16:00
God/Jesus allows divorce... but you would like to make a law against it? {nm} Mar 26, 06:56
Yes, He allows it, but if you'll search the Scriptures you'll also see that He hates it. {nm} Mar 26, 15:53

Wow... You lost me there, buddy! Last I checked, religion causes plenty of chaos (war, death, violence). Mar 26, 17:06
The main cause of war, death and suffering throughout history is not religion. Mar 26, 17:19
There are some specious arguments in this one. Mar 26, 07:36
As soon as you start to expand the definition of marriage, marriage becomes elastic and ultimately extinct. {nm} Mar 26, 15:27
And your evidence? {nm} Mar 26, 19:22
Here. Mar 26, 20:36
That's not evidence. That's one person's idea. And it doesn't extend to what you're talking about. {nm} Mar 26, 20:40
