Reason:

An unverifiable claim by Pro. Argument to Con
No sources, tie.
Con uses "it's" where "its" is correct. Grammar and spelling to Pro.
Forfeit is a result of being banned. Counting it against him would be voting based on events outside of the debate, which would be unfair. Tied.

Reason:

Pro failed to make a falsifiable statement. Con correctly points out that any direct counter risked violation of DART RoC. Mazel tov to Pro. Arguments to Con. Conduct to Con cuz Pro forfeits first.

Reason:

(1) Both forfeited their remaining rounds.

(2) PRO said they are gay and thus no one can really disprove that. So they win by default. There is nothing CON can say to disprove that.

Reason:

Pro knows he's gay, Pro said he's gay. Con says we need to dox Pro to know if he's gay or not but who is society to say that? Nowhere in Con's argument is it made clear why if Pro is doxxing himself by outing as a gay IRL, then why it's an issue.
Doxxing is only wrong if others do it, this is something Pro didn't have to type, it's a given and even if it's wrong it would be wrong means to prove the resolution true, which Con strongly showed fear of happening as the resolution is true.

Conduct to Pro because Con called this debate 'bullshit' and denied Pro's right to confirm himself as gay whether or not we dox him and judge this for ourselves.
