Dear Lounge Lizards: Give me your best excuse against gay marriage . . .
. . . as if you believed it. And if you can, argue your stand.

I don't want a flame war and if everyone reads this OP, no one can claim that YOU actually believe what you wrote.

I want to compile a list of opponents' arguments and, frankly, I'm too lazy to try to think of them all myself.

So let's hear 'em!

2. Sure they do. It's just cruel to put a lace teddy on a box turtle. It'd
take the poor creature two weeks to get the damned thing off. ;)

my non existant marriage by making me feel like a loser seeing all those people happy together.

And it leads to a rise in people doing box turtles.

12. Hrm...
If you believe that homosexuality is a sin, and it's your duty as a Christian to try to help save everyone from sinning/hell, then it's your duty to try to prevent people from legalizing and therefore condoning the 'sin' of gay marriage? (I can't even buy my own logic on this one, because stopping gay marriage doesn't stop people from being gay in the first place, so.... yeah.)

Um, you don't want your kids to grow up believing it's 'ok', preferring that if any of them are gay or bi, they will most likely spend at least part of their life in a community that encourages them to hate themselves for it? (But, it would never happen to your kids, so....)

Sorry, I can't, apparently, twist my mind enough to figure out a reason to support that kind of discrimination.

14. They argue that gays can't procreate....
the whole "Penises don't fit" sort of thing.... But my response is "So impotent men and post-menopausal women shouldn't be allowed to marry either?"

15. This is the kind of thing I'm looking for.
Exactly -- thanks, Darth.

I could have worded my OP much more clearly. Oh, well.
