Ten reasons why "Gay Marriage" ought not to be legalised in America.

[Tostig]

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy such as the United States of America the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why there is only one religion in America.

9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why America 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.

is this an insult or a joke?

[Shaun]

Are you being serious? OR is this just sarcasm or an attempt to imitate the people who still think like this?

EDIT, now I see.

It just proves the hypocrisy of people who think like this.

[Sam]

You really should put some sort of disclaimer in your post if you are going to make jokes about such sensitive issues.

[RusskiSoldat]

Um, the fact that this is a joke should be pretty obvious.

[Dionysios II The Great]

How obvious that you're being sarcastic.

[I Have a Clever Name]

Haha, brilliant. So bloody true.

Edit: If anybody can't detect the sarcasm in this post, they need counselling.

[Lusted]

Brilliantly sacrastic post, +rep for you.

[Da Skinna]

The first, second and fourth points are easy indicators that this is a sarcastic post.

But also pretty witty and true at the same time. I personally think there is no real ground against gay marriage, as all the points against it are rather easily debunked as religious and very small-minded and unrealistic. The only thing that worries me about gay marriage is the family unit and society, and just how well could it be integrated without knowing what products (ie Children) would come of it.

[Lusted]

Well the whole idea of the family unit is relative culturally, for instance some tribes in the amazon have the child loked after by as many as 48 different parents yet it grows up as well adjusted as many western children, if not more so. The child who has been adopted by a gay couple for instance should grow up to be as well mentally as most people, for of course not everyone is mentally healthy.

The only thing that worries me about gay marriage is the family unit and society, and just how well could it be integrated without knowing what products (ie Children) would come of it.

Well, children raised by a sole parent usually turn out okay. The product of the marriage? Love and partnership I should imagine. Are you worried about people who get married and never have children?

[Shaun]

Is it coincidence that all the threads about homosexuality seem to have the gay weddings add?

[I Have a Clever Name]

Google adverts are nothing if not relevant. On the twc homepage theres mediaeval armour online stores and so forth.

Amen Tostig!!!!!!! Hahaha

[Last Roman]

I always enjoy a little satire

[IronBrig4]

You deserve some reputation for that one. EVERY argument against gay marriage is usually mired in religious bigotry, so I'm glad to see somebody mocking them.

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

I love the way they argue that it's wrong because it's not natural, but when they decide to agree that it is natural after being proved wrong until they have to admit it, they give responses like this:

So murder ,incest and eating your children are all natural. Again everything that happens is natural going by this. Whats natural and whats normal are not always the same.

So it was first wrong because it is unnatural, now it is wrong because it is natural? :tooth:

Make your minds up!

[Kanaric]

I hear of men and women, who are friends, getting married in some kind of cheap proceding just to get the benefits.

Also their is many many examples like Briney Spears wedding.

What kind of complete tool morons think marriage has sancitity? Seriously these people are by far the biggest pond scum idiots on the face of the earth. Its just another example of a segment of the political population trying to get the moral highground when they really have no morals at all.

9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why America as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

Usually single parents have new partners that function as such a role model for the child, but I think it's not necessarily about sexual role models, but more about moral role models. I guess this is where the christians see red, as they're not so keen on ass-****ing.
