10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong (from Craigslist)

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

but I bet you get deleted.

but the title almost made me not want to open this thread.

i needed a smile.

I think, in time, gay marriage will allowed and the mania surrounding this topic will be more the butt of jokes that are circa 2005.

Sarcasm is very effective tool in pointing out faulty reasoning. I like it!

That's just all I have to say about it.

That was a great post, just had to add my two cents about gay marriage. If I'd ever had discussions with gay people about their concerns about gay marriage, the horrific arguments of the religious right might hold some water. Might. But, I've never met a gay person that thought gay marriage out to be banned. So, I fail to see how anyone can believe it's right to do so. Talk about taxation without representation.

Not ONE gay person I've ever met disagrees with gay marriage. Not ONE!

Millions of people voting on laws that, by their OWN defintion, will not affect them. It's just sick. Sickest that it happened here.

I know it is ludricrious but there are some. Most of them think marriage is part of the heterosexual dominant culture and think gays should forgo it.

Here was one person's argument against it:

"Have any of you thought of the benefits of not being able to get married? Like not having to lose half of eveything you've worked for in your life in some divorce. I'm glad theres no gay marriage and all you gays who want it are ruining it for us gays who dont."

:eyes:

and homophobes like their gays promiscuous!

:)

but I am worried- will hanging with straight people make me ..uh..oh, perish the thought...a copulite?
