10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

[usregimechange]

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.

3. I've seen this a few times and I never get tired of it

Fabulous stuff; the structure is a delicious subcategory of sarcasm that makes me very, very happy. How I'd like to buy the author an expensive drink with tiny umbrellas in it : )

4. Pretty funny.

I just returned from Amsterdam, where there were more gay marriages than straight ones last year. Nary an eyebrow gets raised. It must be nice to live in a place where the religious right doesn't have much influence...

11. I agree

But you just have it. I'm a religious person but sometimes it gets so tiring and spiritually draining battling with the fundies to save my country from their agendas. Whenever I feel that way though I just remember what the blacks and other women went through to vote and remember that the battle is worth it even if I'm called horrible things for supporting gay rights. I could care less because I know God knows me.

5. Love it

I'm going to use it in a debate I'm in now about the issue.

6. Gay Marriage threatens the stability of the U.S. economy.

21. Have you never been to a gay wedding?

It would double the GNP.

The cakes alone will put many thousands of children through college!

And that's just if Elton John has a re-commitment ceremony.

18. Personally, I hope that hanging around tall people actually works...

[cilla4progress]

19. Right on!

Don't you love how the religious right fundies push marriage on everyone BUT gays?

I'm so encouraged to see from these posts the alignment of Democrats with the rights of gays to marry. It recommits me to the party...which is a challenge, at times!

[Kurovski]

20. You forgot another thing: It's icky.

Believe me. Plus gay marriage will raise the misery index in America.

As a cartoon in the New Yorker once put it, "Haven't the gays suffered enough?"

[LaPera]

23. It's none of my business, but, somehow, I think it affects my marriage...

[Sentath]

29. How?

I've always wanted a rational answer to that question.

If not a rational then a clear explanation of an emotional answer.

Thank You.
