I just tell them I agree with Elton John on the subject...
"I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership," John says. "The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off. "You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships."
informative post. thank you
BUMP for later.
Or, you could point out that homosexuals are sick, disgusting perverts.
Very good post - thanks.
How to talk to Dems concerning same sex marriage. My advice is keep your back to the wall when attempting this. Otherwise, just leave them alone and they will die early without reproducing (the great hope for our nation).
Wonderful and well thought out and well referenced article.
I have one thing to comment on, in re:
“If they say that animals engage in homosexual behavior, you can reply that animals engage in many behaviors we wouldn’t want to copy; we have the capacity to operate on more than animal instinct.”
Animals don’t engage in homosexual behavior. In other words, they don’t have sex with each other. They may raise a chick together in some way, or hang out and bond together, or engage in some male/female behaviors from time to time. But not to the point of copulating.
If anyone out there knows differently, you can correct me, but every “gay seagull” or “gay penguin” story out there, when read, just shows some of what we think of gay acts - like preening or physically sleeping together. Not the sex behaviors we see in homosexual men and women.
Simple, John and James had no one, Mary and Jane had no one. John and Mary had thre little ones, Case closed..
Thanks, NYer. I’m not good debater. This post is helpful.

Very disappointing that this article spent very little time on the biblical purpose of marriage in their argument.
Just because your opponent doesn’t believe in your “sword of truth” doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use it.
One reason is enough - it is unnatural.
