1、There is a speech given on the topic entitled“This House Would NOT Legalize Same-sex Marriage.”Please read it carefully and answer the questions below it.This House Would NOT Legalize Same-sex Marriage(1)Mr.Speaker,as the opening opposition we recognize that,the genuine love between a man and a man,
2、and the genuine love between a woman and a woman,is as wonderful as the love existing between one man and one woman.But what the government side failed to prove in the debate is that this debate is not talking about whether homosexual loving relationship is legitimate.This debate is talking about an
3、 institution of marriage.All of the argumentation has not really touched upon the nature and the essence of marriage as a social institution,and how marriage,as a social institution,needs to reflect the social conception of the institution in itself.(2)From the opening opposition,Im going to talk ab
4、out two issues.First,Im going to talk about why their proposal actually causes more social backlash against gay right movements,especially in the context of China.Before that,several points of rebuttals:(3)The first idea we heard from the prime minister is that the issue of the LGBT is a social tabo
5、o in Chinas society.Number one,if the issue of LGBT is already a taboo,that means the majority of the Chinese people actually have prejudice against homosexual people?By allowing homosexual people to get married,can you remove the prejudice on the mindset that exists in the majority?Secondly,we say

11、wo parties getting involved.I can love whomever I want to love,but we think marriage as an institution,it is a socially and culturally constructed institution,and it needs to reflect how the society and the state understand what a good family relationship is.Which means that by nature,marriage is a
