OKay I know I am going to open a HUGE can of worms with this but a friend sent this to me and I had to post it.
The reasons...
-
Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
-
Straight marriage would be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
-
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.
-
Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
(one of the saddest parts about our society is that, these arguments, before the humorous common sense, are the real reasons why people can't accept gay marriages.)
