Ten Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

[Jamastiene]

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 Brittany 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.

That's all...just so this won't sink.

4. Thank you.

Hopefully this will provide some food for thought (and good talking points) when people discuss this very important civil rights issue. :hi:

[Kceres]

2. Well done. n/t

[nichomachus]

3. 11 -- We can't redefine marriage

Which is why men are allowed to have as many wives and concubines as they can support, just as God permitted in the Old Testament.

Heck, even Moses had two wives.

5. Priceless....K&R! n/t

[AmyCamus]

6. 12) It threatens Straight marriages, because when they see how happy 'the gays' are...

..they might 'decide to go gay' too.

7. K&R

This is great, it is funny yet it sends a very serious message at the same time. Great job.

11. Your list is good

Be careful with 8 and 9, though- we've been dangerously close to those being the truth for some time now.

[percussivemadness]

12. 41% of all first marriages ends in divorce

The divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60%
The divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73%

I just find this argument ridiculous, straight people do not respect marriage, and the hypocrisy of this stance infuriates me.

My suggestions would be to ban marriage completely, and offer straight people civil unions....

13. K+R

Fun stuff... I'll have to steal some of them.

14. GAME, SET, and MATCH!

With scalpel-like precision, and rapier wit, you cut right to the chase. Probably the best riposte I have ever read to the Prop 8 crowd.

15. 11) repressed politicians need a constant supply of single homosexuals

[NobleCynic]

21. 12) Alimony. Proof that advocating gay marriage means you hate gay people

16. Proud to K&R!

However......

...I STRONGLY disagree with an element of Statement 01):
Polyester IS an abomination!

Anyone wearing POLYESTER deserves to be soundly Mocked & Ridiculed in a public forum.

[Jamastiene]

22. I agree on the polyester...and nylon too, while we are at it.

I'm extremely allergic to BOTH. My skin turns bright red and burns. Oh, it burns. My body came predisposed to better fashion sense. It says, "No!" to polyester. :P

[rhiannon55]

28. Polyester doesn't breathe

and I can't breathe in it. Ewwww...nasty stuff.

20. LOL

At "Gay marriage will make other people gay." I wonder if the freepers actually listen to themselves speak.

[Jamastiene]

23. I wonder if they have sense enough to be

embarrassed by their crazy talk.

[rhett o rick]

24. Way I see it, anyone crazy enough to wana get married, go for it. nm

[dana_b]
