What Are The Positive, Enhancing Social Benefits of Homosexuality?

Please try to offer links to sources of information that corroborate your opinions or any claimed facts.

This debate should be focused on POSITIVE SOCIAL EFFECTS. The underlying CAUSE of HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT a part of this debate.

In other words, arguments should be linked to modern day effects on society, which are supported by current studies (last decade) or "observable behaviors" that are measurable.

Good Luck...shake hands...and come out fighting.
 
Positives: less likely to have children. For those who do have children it is ususally a valued and honored part of their lives, they treasure their children (adopted, inseminated - etc) and try to raise them well.

Sorry, that's just worthelss opinion, you need to re-read the OP and give us some solid, factual evidence, not just your biased opinion, but thanks for playing.

The reality is that gay marriages don't affect - negatively or possitively - society *at all*

Opinion, where are the scientific papers, the peer reviewed articles, the facts, not just opinion???
 
I'd say there would be little to no discernible effect, except for improved clubbing and night life, possibly fashion, etc. But this whole thing feels like some bait to make a wider point you have inside your head. I dont know, just a hunch :roll:
 
Was this thread in spite? Or in deeper intellectual pursuit. We shall never know, or care...

:coffeepap
 
One positive social benefit is the angst homosexuality causes for homophobes.
 

Just proving a point, that thread was a "Support homosexuality only" thread. Note, that none of you can actually do what was asked of those opposed to homosexuality to do, though in reverse. It's amusing really. I personally am not anti-gay, but I do find the attitude of the gay agenda supporters to be most despicable. Thank you those that popped into this thread to prove what bull**** artist you all are. Demand others prove their position, but you cannot prove oyur own.

/Thread win.

You cared enough to respond, but you can't rise to the own level demanded of those that DO NOT fully support your position. Thanks for admitting that.

You're so conceptually flawed in your assertions and the point of this thread I literally can't follow.

Not quite. A stable marriage is better for adopted children. So that's a plus. On the downside, marriage provides a host of tax benefits, so that would in theory boost the deficit, a down side.
 
Idk. A positive i guess would if your a homosexual and you meet another homosexual and you get it on i guess you would enjoy that period of time while you getting it on... :shrug:
 
I don't really see the need to pay lip service to the OP.

Equal Protection means that gays and straights have the same marrying privileges. Yes it's a new understanding of Equal Protection, but our understanding of homosexuals is not the same as it was 30 years ago. In our 300 year history as a nation, the application of the Constitution has changed to reflect the evolution of our values and the acceptance of different kinds of people. Homosexuals are no different. People used to believe that God separated blacks and whites, and that interracial marriage was against God's will. They couldn't even cohabitate. Look at how things have changed.

Whether or not there are social benefits to the existence of homosexuals is irrelevant to them having inalienable rights. Some day the Supreme Court will have to deal with it. Social consciousness changes slowly, but it's going to change.
 
The OP question is no different that asking what are the positive and negative effects of being human?
 
None. It's a defect and we should be working on developing a cure, or at least a preventative therapy.
 
The world will be a better place when people feel no need to hide their true self out of danger, fear, backlash, etc. If one gay child decides not to hang or cut their own wrist? That is what. More gay children and teens k8ill themselves over any other groups. I think that alone should be enough.

None. There's also no negative social effect. It's a neutral.

It's just attraction. It has all the same positive and negative influences as straight attraction.

Why does there need to be a positive influence for someone to support equality?

Why? It doesn't have any negative consequences for the individual, apart from emotional suffering at the hands of bigotry. And that isn't because of being gay - that's because of people being intolerant.
 
Define "social benefits".

Cosmetology, hair style, interior design, fashion, alternative music...

You would need to prove defect in order to develope cure or prevention. I doubt you could do that, but it's not for the scope of this thread, anyway.
