This article shows that three general discussions on homosexual marriage - definition, infertility and polygamy landslide arguments - are very bad, in fact they are worst. Each has its own charm, but each has serious flaws. It is logic, experience, politics, or a combination of these three. Respect is due to scholars and commentators advocating these arguments, but we should continue discussing other stronger arguments against same-sex marriage to better validate the positive case of gay marriage. Apart from the proposal, this discussion did not make a positive judgment on gay marriage. It is not finished yet

The birthrate argument is the most common academic argument against homosexual marriage and has gained a lot of responses from gay marriage supporters. Repetition of birth and debate between supporters of gay marriage and opponents follows a familiar slightly boring pattern. It is like this: Parry (insisting on gay marriage): Since marriage does not have to be born, the premise of "marriage is for childbirth" is incorrect or at least incomplete. Infertile couples, elderly couple, couples who do not want to have children can marry. No one should object to same-sex marriage for this reason because no one is opposed to their marriage.

There are lots of religious discussions and protests against same-sex marriage. These are gay couples are unnatural, including the belief that marriage is sacred and sacrament, the main purpose of marriage is birth, and marriage is defined as a unity between men and women. In opposition to homosexual marriage, many people point to a passage in the Bible. Most religious opponents of homosexual marriages quote the two verses of the Old Testament as evidence of their view. The first person is Leviticus 20: 13. If men and men are among men and women, both of them do unpleasant things. It has to be executed (Burns, 2002)
