gay marriage talking points
I found these at knowthyneighbor.org, which is working to preserve gay marriage in Massachusetts.

"KnowThyNeighbor.org encourages civil discourse among all citizens. Here are some things to talk about:

We hurt our economy by putting up barriers to strong families in MA.

Marriage strengthens families. And when families are strong, communities are too. Both are fundamental to economic prosperity.

40% of adoptions in MA are by same-sex families.

We should support, not hurt, those who are opening up their families to needy children.

Children will be denied benefits.

When you deny benefits to same-sex couples, you deny their children too (straight or gay).

Same-sex families are a fact.

Giving same-sex families inferior rights just makes their lives more difficult, it doesn't make them go away.

6,500 same-sex marriages have already taken place.

How would you feel if an extremist group called your marriage into question?

Most of us have someone in our own families that would be affected.

Think about your aunt, brother, or cousin before you take their rights away.

Let's teach acceptance not discrimination.

Our children are watching.
