Their argument: ‘We must marry the same sex to each other because gays can’t control their feelings’

Fundamental A&P demonstrates that, too.

I’ve never had the urge to attempt “that”, nor do I ever see it happening. It’s just gross...wrong...nasty...filthy...

Then remove God from the argument. It is just as logically valid to say that homosexuality is inherently wrong as it is to say it's inherently right. What morality allows the promoters to insist that it's right?

The point is that the libs always put the onus on the defenders. I say we reverse that tactic and put the burden back where it belongs.

That is my line of thinking too

I read 50% of homosexuals will have HIV by age 50, & another report said HIV (or the drug to stop it from spreading) cause an Alzheimer’s effect.

Well, it will go by steps, I’m sure..

The simple argument is it is not marriage

Yes, yes. "If you call a tail a leg..."

Every culture on the planet, at all times as far as we know, has had a concept of a permanent, reproductive relationship between men and women. Although details vary, the opposite-sex nature of the phenomenon that we use the word "marriage" in English to describe is universal.

The question is not "is it a state or Federal issue?"

The question is, "Can a government that can change the meaning of English nouns into their negations have any limit on its power?"

Good job.

Why cant those like Ben Carson who disagree with gay marriage form a coherent argument against this?

People who cannot form one of the many coherent arguments against this novelty are not really against it.

[Jim Noble]

IMO, EVERY marriage argument must start from Scripture

But marriage as such exists all over the planet and throughout history, and the vast majority of those who have practiced it are not familiar with, or do not honor, the Jewish and Christian scriptures.

The historical and cross-cultural arguments are much stronger.

I can see how its easy to come to that conclusion.

A number of commenters on this thread sole argument is ‘because God says it's wrong’ but that doesn't work in todays secular political environment where its ultimately decided by elections and public opinion.

The libs (as a gay) response is ‘God made me this way and he loves me as he made me’ and like Carson they are dead in the water (figuratively).
