"They live a self defeating lifestyle. Overdoses, disease, S&M has killed alot of them off. They get into a self hating downward spiral because they know they're sick. They try to punish themselves. Most end up going overboard. Some ride bare back just to get AIDs. They feel they're worthy of that much self punishment. They literally hate themselves for what they are."

Sounds like you've spent considerable time conducting intimate field research. Protesteth too much . . .

Nope. I read the FR threads. It's all in the archives.

If you approve Gay marriage, how many Gays? 2, 3 or 5 people? You say 2, but their activists (who many have heard, and I have read) say "we will challenge that in court immediately". Well, they did.
A lot of Gays prefer group sex or at least an "openness" in their choice of partners (multiple studies prove this). How do you quantify the limits? Where does it end?

Age of Consent laws
What's the minimum age? Homosexual activists are doing everything possible to eliminate "age of consent" laws, because their literature is filled with glorification of pedophilia.

Gay males are just 2.2 percent of the population, but they are responsible for over 1/3 of all sexual crime against minors (5).

Marriage can become useless because we could end up minimizing its importance until it was trivial and ineffective. Once you've opened Pandora's box, the Constitution has no limits built in to prevent society from eliminating Marriage all together.

Every civilization since the beginning of man has recognized the need for marriage. This country and healthy societies around the world give marriage special legal protection for a vital reason - it is the institution that ensures the society's future through the upbringing of children. Furthermore, it's just common sense that marriage is the union of a man and a woman.

There is an ocean of empirical data showing that the union between a man and a woman has unique benefits for children and society. Moreover, traditional family breakdown is the single biggest social problem in America today. In study after study, family breakdown is linked to an increase in violent crime, youth crime, teen pregnancy, welfare dependency and child poverty.

Even if your just considering what is good for the Gay people, Gay marriage is a two edged sword. Several studies have indicated that almost all Gays only want marriage for the bene's (financial rewards). What they don't realize is that long term relationships among Gays is dangerous. In the last 5 years two AIDS studies have shown that when Gay males engage in long term relationships they dramatically increase the incidence of risky sexual behavior (most specifically a significant rise in oral/anal behavior).

Carefully consider the effects to society before you support an experiment that has destroyed every civilization it's controlled throughout known history.

The most widely accepted study of sexual practices in the United States is the National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS). The NHSLS found that 2.8% of the male, and 1.4% of the female, population identify themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. See Laumann, et al., The Social Organization of Sex: Sexual Practices in the United States (1994).
