A gay marriage list
I figured since I just re-paid like $4 for this domain, I might as well post something, and since Ben gets all political & stuff on his blog, and I’m out of creativity, then, wellsir, I reckon Im’ a gonna do the same thang.
From themadthinker:
[This] came from a group called GatorGSA, though their website doesn’t exist any more. I think they’re the source, as that’s as far back as I could trace the meme when I first ran into it a year or so ago.
-
Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.
-
Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can’t legally get married because the world needs more children.
-
Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
-
Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed, since Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
-
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.
-
Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
-
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 life-spans.
-
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.
I thought is was a pretty good list.
