[W:3596] Arguments Against Same-Sex Marriage

With the recent news from Brunei about imposing the death penalty on gays and adulterers, I've been wondering just what is the justification fo opposing gay marriage. Why do some people really hate homosexuals, whether male or female?

Here's a list of arguments against same sex marriage that I found on the internets:
  1. It requires a new definition of marriage
  2. Not the same as laws that prohibited mixed race marriages
  3. Marriage is meant to increase population
  4. Infringes upon some peoples' religion freedom
  5. Rights are granted by God and He doesn't like gay marriage
  6. Morality comes from God and He doesn't like the gays
  7. Acceptance of gay marriage will lead to incest and paedophilia
  8. Homosexuals are unhealthy – that whole AIDS thing, you know.
  9. Allowing gay marriage will cause societal collapse, as other immoral behaviour becomes more accepted.

These are all highly subjective and specious statements.
 
Not normally. But when the choice were between a gay and a cow, I'd happily choose the cow as my husband.

That makes YOU gay because BULLS are males (cows are females) and you're female, so you're saying you would rather marry a female of the bovine species.

Congratulations on being a gay female who is into bestiality.

Attempt to control your excitement.
 
I would say nobody gets off to seeing a woman and a cow scissor one another but rule 34

It was actually our KIDS who had to explain "Rule 34" to Karen and I.
Gales of laughter ensued, not because we immediately went online and tried to look but because of the way they sounded when they explained it. (Yes, they are both adults)

It's not as if we were clueless, I'm just remembering that Saturday morning when we decided to all have breakfast together, and somehow someone said something dorky and off color to be funny and I think my son yelled "Rule 34!" and my daughter snorted maple syrup out her nose.

I'd never heard of it referred to as Rule 34.

It was then that the KIDS decided that they "had to explain to the old folks" that "if you can imagine it, no matter what it is, there's porn of it on the internet" and the way they sounded trying to explain it to us was like we were old fuddy duddies who had no clue.

I dunno, it was just hilarious. I guess you had to be there. We have funny kids.
And they sometimes forget that we taught them both how to use spoons...and computers.

That is pretty funny. I remember my mom asking me what a maestro was like I would know. At first I said it was the person that conducts the band but she said no not that. She was watching some judge Judy thing. And when she Google that in the reference they used it she was flabbergasted that such a thing could exist.

If you Google maestro love bot you'll see what that is. It's by 63 year old mom is telling me about this. Its pretty funny.

BWaaaaaaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....OMG. :lamo
 
How did you keep from running out of the room and screaming into a towel?
 
Oh....addendum...son popped his head in the room because of the laughter.
He skimmed through the thread and just HAD to know what a Maestro was...saw the pic and said matter of factly:

"Oh yeah, a machine for chicks who can't get any."

He just popped back in again...delayed reaction:

"Why is this guy's mom asking him about this thing? OMG WTF?"

(laughter)

She was just flabbergasted that number one such a thing would exist in the number to that someone would be suing about it on judge Judy.

My son is flabbergasted that we're laughing and scratching about this on a politics site.
You know, years ago the wife and I had "the talk" with them about the whole gay marriage thing and that was funny too, except we really were trying to be serious. We wanted them to both know that, if they WERE gay, we would be okay with it as long as THEY are happy.

Since we only have the two kids, and that is the sum of our experience, we of course did not know what to expect.
I think they were something like fourteen and sixteen at the time, and of course both of them were just finding out that people they knew in school were or might be, gay.

So we were trying really hard to be serious about sincere about it, but of course I guess it turns out both of them are hetero, so they were both all, "Why are you guys trying to have this serious talk about gay stuff?" etc etc.
"Did you think we were gay or something?"

No no no no we just wanted you to understand that, it might be a bit of an adjustment but we both want you guys to be happy...

Of course my daughter was sophisticated enough to understand but no, she likes guys so don't wor--- "We're not worried, we just wanted you to know we love you no matter what"

"Oh...." (long pause) "so you didn't think I was gay?"

No no no we were just talking about it amongst ourselves and felt we should make sure you understand...

Of course at this point my son decides to get comical about it and says "Oh Dad, it's cool if you bring home a guy, I'm sure Mom will understand."

Sigh....:roll:
