10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong by Will McGarvey on Sunday, August 15, 2010 at 9:12pm
10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong (reposting Mitchell Sturges)
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 Britany 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.

01) Having sexual relations with an animal is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
02) Having sex with animals will encourage other people to have sex with animals, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
03) Legalizing sex with animals will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to have sex with the family pet.
04) Straight sex 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 sex will be less meaningful if sex with animals were allowed.
06) Heterosexual relations are valid because they produce children. Human/animal 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 parents who have sex with animals will raise children who will have sex with animals, since heterosexual parents only raise children who are heterosexual.
08) Sex with animals 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 straight male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

Well, it is possible, if one of them dies. But I get the point; it’s mostly about parental abandonment.
Imagine a daughter marrying her own mother in order to gain social security benefits, using gay marriage to game the system. Nobody brings up that argument.
Very nice job; copied; pasted; posted. I wonder what the response will be!
Beyond all argument, I think this thing will happen. The Government will sanctify gay marriage.
But, God will not.
A line is being drawn. Sides are being chosen.
This is derision. If you can make the opposition be seen as hilarious and ridiculous, you remove it’s bite. Derision is an Alinsky tool. And does not address the real issues.
I think the American people have already chosen sides in theory but not in practice. Didn’t GWB endorse this for Mehlman this week?
No argument on that one!
Passing a nationwide open carry law would be ridiculous because our nation never allowed people to carry firearms without strict permits, like in the old west or during revolutionary times.
Allowing people to grind up pet dogs alive would be bad because animals in the wild never get ripped to shreds alive by predators.
This is not argumentation, it's more like a feeble attempt at comedy.
It seems he did.
But, think about it. What can a snake (bush)see?
Bottom feeders mostly.
FU liberal.
If you want to express your ‘love’ then go someplace private and perform whatever ritual you want to. Just dont expect the state to certify ‘it’ as being morally equivalent to heterosexual marriages or parenthood, especially without a vote and instead mandated by liberal judges.
Ted Olsen must have been taken over by body snatchers.
I am not especially judgmental but don't like being ruled by liberal judges. And I didn't appreciate the homos blaming me for their self induced aids either,
Nuttyness. This is an argument to change marriage??
Women are not property in marriage, no they get rights - rights to protect their family and the chance to make a multi-generational legacy.
Blacks can marry whites. What state says they cannot? - None! BOGUS ARGUMENT.
Divorce is legal in every state of the union.
Typical liberal argument devoid of the facts.
Holy Matrimony is still the best chance for making a multi-generational Godly legacy. One Man and One Woman under God can raise children that pass their legacy and benefits to a whole nation.
Children, boys and girls that have a Mommy (female) and a Daddy (male) from a first intact Marriage have the best benefits of any boy and girl. Statistics have proved it over and over. It is what our nation should strive for but is NOT!
It does not matter if homosexuality is biological.
ALL sin is biological, we are BORN in to sin.
That’s what the fight between good and evil is all about.
The gays are too lazy to come up with their own term.
Marriage is between One Man and One Woman.
Why is that so hard to comprehend?
Homosexual Activists Intimidate American Psychiatric Association into Removing Homosexuality from List of Disorders.
Even if there is some biological basis for homosexual “BEHAVIOR”, there are other DISORDERS which have a biological basis as well (Autism, Depression, Bipolar (manic/depression), Schizophrenia, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, etc, etc.). Are we to seriousy equate all of these (at least partially) biologically based disorders within the realm of normal or accepted human behavior? If so, then we must stop treating these disorders in any capacity through the medical model and just let these people handle their daily lives all on their own.
The Main Reason Gay Marriage Should Be Legal:
Because two men having sex is the same as a man and a woman having sex. And the relationship between two men is identical to the relationship between a man and a woman. Because there is no difference between men and women.
Let’s look at it mathematically:
Man + Woman equals Marriage.
If Man + Man equals Marriage,
Then Man + Man equals Man + Woman.
Simplifying, we see that Man equals Woman.
Now if you believe that, then you can believe in homo “marriage.” But if you have gotten past the first grade and haven’t seen the error of THAT vision, there’s no help for you. And it’s pretty dangerous to be letting you set social policy.
Well said.
