12 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should Be Illegal

Us normals would still have to tolerate the "trendy gays", but usually they grow out of it after they see how disgusting it is.

But, whatever, I'll tolerate gays only as far as I'm legally forced to.

Gay gene? It's interesting that the majority of homosexuals out there come from straight families. As in there mothers and fathers were heterosexual. I mean, sorry, but thats the oddest logic I have ever heard. And why, just because they aren't married are they going to have sex with a "normal" person? I believe you'll find a homosexual person is no more likely to have an affair and such then a heterosexual person. Nor are they likely to say "I'm not married, I think I'll go have a one night stand with a straight women/man"

There is no law saying you have to accept or approve of homosexuals. In fact, I'm sure in a few more years of control by the christian right and it will be legal to kill them, openly.

1. homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.

2. heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. infertile couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs more children.

3. obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

4. straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed, since britney spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

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

6. gay marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of the minorities.

7. 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.

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

9. 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.

10. children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. that's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

11. gay marriage will change the foundation of society. heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to things like cars or longer lifespans.

12. civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name, are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. separate schools for african-americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.

homophobic freak

Satire. Satirical. Satirically. Satirising. And so forth. It's a humorous mockery of the anti-gay lobby by pointing out in clear cut, logical terms why their arguments are so silly. It's meant to be funny, in a political commentary kind of way.

As such it is actually supporting homosexual rights.

Yeah, it's funny how people cannot see that.

I read the first 3 pages and that was enough. I don't know if this has already been brought up, but...

...the main thing I hate: whenever this argument comes up, some people can't leave the Bible out of it.

And this is coming from a Christian who believes in the Bible.
But this Christian also believes in...

FREEDOM

GOD (the chap who created everything) cleary is against it, whether you

And seeing all our laws are based on these religious teachings.. obvious really.

You could have the liberal approach "it´s not thier fault, they were born that way" so were mass murderers, child molesters etc.. should we tolerate them as well?

I recon Gay people should do thier own thing in private and not be allowed to have children, influence other people or get married.

Marriage itself is also a gift from God, how can people recieve this gift if they go against Gods rules.

Good point.

Well it was officially passed here in Canada with little fireworks. Expect the conservative leader who has the worst marketing team ever saying he would retract the law if he comes in power. Scares me because he has to use the very rarely used "notwithstanding clause.' Thats a taboo in Govt around here.

HAHA you make me laugh soooooooooo much

You have no idea how hard it is for me to live in a "straight" society...I have to be cautious with my boyfriend everywhere I go!...I have been bashed when I was in high school and NOW I HAVE TO BE SAFE---I shouldn't be cautious....I see straight couples all the time "kissing" (being all lovely dovely and shit like that)

SO YOU have no IDEA what it is to live like this...You make me sick!

"Staight" people will never know what it is like to be "Gay"

Well, I don't know if you were being sarcastic or not but...

I guess you couldn't possibly look at this through an objective view. That's right, put your religion aside just long enough to see that not everything that God is against should be illegal.

You could have the liberal approach "it´s not thier fault, they were born that way" so were mass murderers, child molesters etc.. should we tolerate them as well?

Oh right, because gays are a danger to society like murderers and child molesters. 🙄

Oh yes, but you'll get to do your own thing out in the open and have more rights than gays. Even in God's eyes everyone is created equal. What you described is discrimination. Nothing more, nothing less.

Marriage itself is also a gift from God, how can people recieve this gift if they go against Gods rules.

Yes, but that is not the point. The point is that it is UNFAIR to allow straights to marry because of their sexual orientation, but not allow gays to.

Which is why as a straight Christian, I firmly believe that gays should have the right to marry if they choose. I believe in freedom.

Most gays if not all have had sexual encounters with hetrosexuals at least once.
Not to mention gays from the past pretended to be straight and married and tried to be normal, for fear of being jailed or killed.
Sorry, your point isn't valid because gays have and do procreate.

Bigot

Bigot: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions.

I think for myself, and form my own opinions based from my own experiences, if that makes me a bigot, then I wear the word proudly.

Almost all gay men and lesbians have grown up in a heterosexual world, with very little exposure to homosexuality. The overwhelming majority of gay men and lesbians were raised by heterosexual parents, educated by heterosexual teachers, and socialized with heterosexual siblings and friends. They were surrounded by heterosexism in magazines, books, movies and on television, yet they grew up to be gay. It should also be noted that children raised by gays and lesbians are no more inclined to be homosexual than children raised by heterosexual parents.

That blows your theory out of the water.

No, I have an idea, I just don't care.
You might not have a choice about being gay, but you do have a choice about not going out screwing men.
It's perverted, which makes me sick, so we're even.

First of all, what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom is nobody's business but their own.

Secondly, gay people don't do anything in bed that heterosexuals don't do themselves. Intimate behavior between many gay couples could be perceived as mild when compared to what some heterosexual couples do.

Furthermore, you have no idea what it is like to be gay so do not claim to. There is a double standard in our society. What some consider to be flaunting by homosexuals is usually regarded as everyday behavior for heterosexuals. A heterosexual couple walking hand in hand is perceived as normal. Very few would consider their behavior to be inappropriate, if they even noticed it at all. On the other hand, a lesbian or gay couple exhibiting the same behavior would almost certainly be noticed, and most likely be accused of flaunting their sexuality or promoting their lifestyle. They may be harassed or worse yet, physically attacked.

Heterosexuals are free to talk about their spouses or dates. They can wear their wedding rings, display pictures of their loved ones on their desks, kiss good-bye at the airport, include their significant other in company parties and so on. A gay person who chooses to do the same may be seen as a trouble maker, or a radical homosexual out to prove a point.

The truth is most gay people are not out to make a statement. They simply want to be able to incorporate the many aspects of their lives the way heterosexuals are permitted to do. What the majority of people mean when they say that gay people should keep their lives private, is that gay people should keep their lives secret. Imagine for a moment, having to hide the very existence of the most important person in your life.

Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of 'insanity' is doing the same thing and expecting a different result." Perhaps it is time you stopped thinking for yourself because it is obvious at this point that it is not working out for you.

Furthermore, if you form your opinions from personal experience, then how can you have an opinion on homosexuality unless you have had a homosexual experience?

Better quit while you are behind.

I said maybe "trendy gays" are products of their environment, which is more than likely true.

-Everything else you wrote was just whiney, "We are people too" type bullshit, no need to quote it-

He didn't call you gay, you're probably just hearing what you want to hear. The closet door is opening.

Good Job of not reading.
I said it would possibly slow the gay gene from spreading if it indeed exists.

Not only does my post directly address your theory, it overwhelmingly disproves it.

Allow me to rephrase it for the simple-minded: Nearly all homosexuals have biological parents that are heterosexual; Nearly all biological children of homosexuals are heterosexual.

In case you have read this far and still do not understand the implication of this information, it means that heterosexuals are responsible for "spreading" genetic determinants of homosexuality. (There is no single gay gene; the genetic determinants of homosexuality are on chromosomes 7, 8, and 10.)

Do you understand the difference between "genetic" and "hereditary," *******?

Trying to insult me by calling me gay?
Well, it's good to see that you realize being called gay is an insult, it's one of the worst things you could possibly call someone.

I did not call you gay, but I do find it interesting that you are so quick to jump to that conclusion. Have you ever heard the euphamism, "The guilty dog barks first,"?

The fact is, you claim to base your opinions on personal experience. If that is the case, you cannot have an opinion on homosexuality unless you have had a homosexual experience. So have you had a homosexual experience or are you just talking out of your ass?

If gays get married, they would be less likely to procreate with the opposite sex, making it less likely that the "gay gene" would be passed down, if said "gay gene" exists at all.

It's logical that if you are gay, then you'd more than likely carry the "gay gene" more so than any non-perveted nomal human.

The main drive of any animal is to procreate, most homosexuals will not, therefore making you and your kind an evolutionary dead end.

Evolutionary dead end. A natural failure.

Do you really expect everyone you come across to pity you and welcome you with open because your life is so "hard" and your daddy doesn't accept you because you're gay? Get real.

We are the majority.

The fact remains that for roughly the 5000+ years of civilised human history most homosexual men and women have come from purely heterosexual couples. And I have seen nor heard any evidence of a true "gay" gene. Thus I have to say your theory strikes me as absurd.

"If gays married we would have less gays" just doesn't find support with any of the facts that surround homosexual nature.

And sorry, but I find your use of "non-perverted normal human" terribly Spanish Inquisition like. What's more perverted, loving somebody and wishing to enter into a symbolic union expressing said love for the rest of your days, or standing by some hideous, pointless, bigoted and frankly outdated prejudice that would see them forced against their will to conform to your "majority" and thus denied the right to a happiness that harms no one in any way?
