Religious Beliefs: Some people argue that their religious teachings define marriage as between a man and a woman, and they believe that recognizing same-sex marriages goes against these teachings.
Cultural Traditions: Certain cultures have long-standing traditions that define marriage in specific ways, and these traditions may not include same-sex couples.
Concerns about Family Structures: Some individuals claim that traditional nuclear families (a mother, a father, and their biological children) are ideal for raising children, and they believe that same-sex couples might not provide this structure.
Procreation: Some argue that marriage is primarily intended for procreation and raising children, and since same-sex couples can't biologically procreate together, they should not be allowed to marry.
Against Transgender Rights:
Biological Determinism: Some people believe that one's sex assigned at birth is biologically determined and immutable, and they may argue that transgender identity contradicts this.
Religious Beliefs: Similar to opposition against same-sex marriage, some religious teachings are interpreted as opposing transgender identities.
Gender Roles: Some individuals adhere to strict gender roles and believe that transgender individuals challenge these roles, leading to discomfort or disagreement.
Concerns about Children: There are concerns, often based on misconceptions, that allowing transgender individuals to access medical interventions or affirm their gender identity might be harmful to children or young people.
