Top 10 Social Scientific Arguments Against Same Sex Marriage (SSM)

A large and growing body of social scientific evidence indicates that the intact, married family is best for children.

1. Children hunger for their biological parents: SS couples using IVF or surrogate mothers deliberately create a class of children who will live apart from their mother or father. Yale Child Study Center psychiatrist Kyle Pruett reports that children of IVF often ask their single or lesbian mothers about their fathers, asking their mothers questions.

2. Children need fathers: If SSM becomes common, most SS couples with children would be lesbians. This means that we would have yet more children being raised apart from fathers.

3. Children need mothers: Although gay men are less likely to have children than lesbians, there will be and are gay men raising children. There will be even more if SSM is legalized. These households deny children a mother. Among other things, mothers excel in providing children with emotional security and in reading the physical and emotional cues of infants.

4. Inadequate evidence on SS couple parenting: A number of leading professional associations have asserted that there are “no effects” of SS couple parenting on children. But the research in this area is quite preliminary; most of the studies are done by advocates and most suffer from serious methodological problems.

5. Children raised in SS homes experience gender and sexual disorders: Although the evidence on child outcomes is sketchy, the evidence does suggest that children raised by lesbians or gay men are more likely to experience gender and sexual disorders.

6. Vive la difference: If SSM is institutionalized, our society would take yet another step down the road of de-gendering marriage.

7. Sexual fidelity: One of the biggest threats that SSM poses to marriage is that it would probably undercut the norm of sexual fidelity in marriage.

8. Marriage, procreation, and the fertility implosion: Traditionally, marriage and procreation have been tightly connected to one another. Indeed, from a sociological perspective, the primary purpose that marriage serves is to secure a mother and father for each child who is born into a society.

9. For the sake of the children: The divorce and sexual revolutions of the last four decades has seriously undercut the norm that couples should get and stay married if they intend to have children, are expecting a child, or already have children.

10. Women & marriage domesticate men: Men who are married earn more, work harder, drink less, live longer, spend more time attending religious services, and are more sexually faithful.
