Ten reasons why gay marriage should be illegal.
  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 like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
  9. 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.

I read that too and found that amusing since not allowing gays to marry does seem illogical (like many very strong religious views imho) and does not seem right to impose upon society as a whole. I do not believe love makes a marriage - if it did, no one would get divorced. Duh.

Actually the one actual legitimate reason I've heard to be opposed to gay marriage is that organized criminals could marry each other to avoid being forced to testify against each other in court.

Granted it's not a very compelling reason, and the societal harm from marginalizing ~10% of our population probably exceeds the good from preventing heterosexual criminals to hide from prosecution, but at least it makes a very slight bit of sense.

"Man" is given free will by God. With this ability to make choice and reason "man" can do as HE sees fit. Sadly, this gift given by God is often mans downfall as he chooses to straw away from Gods path and to live a life of sin. Even though orginal sin puts us all at a fault, we cannot make excuses such as, 'the world today is accepting of this behavior considering what goes on around us in our lives', or 'it is impossible to live without sin.' Asking these questions only argues a hypocritical stand point. We must not forget the BOTTOM LINE. The most importnat thing of all. That is what God intended for us, and that includes such things as a non homosexual relationship or marriage. Our choices should reflect that of the lords will and intent for his children. In todays world it is an absolute struggle to do so, but it is important to try and as a person give your best to live a life reflective of what god would want if he were there standing next to you at all times. Which im sure he is.

Alright....well then here is my oppinion on that little list of yours....alright...my opinion is that someones sexuality is as natural as breathing and that not all americans reject unnatural things anyways...i am american and i dont like you putting words in my mouth or stereo typing me...second of all is that...gay marriage will not encourage people to be gay anymore than someone jumping in a pile of crap would encourage others to do so....as for gay marriage making people go crazy...well in every situtation theres gunna be some crazy fanatic..and who is to say that people don't already wanna marry pets...also your basically comparing gays to dogs...which is wrong. Gays are people too. Now what really pisses me off is # 4....which shows your arrogance! Alright...straight marriage is the same yet changed...WOMEN ARENT PROPERTY YOU ASSHOLE! I AM A FEMALE AND WILL NOT BE LABLED SOMEONES PROPERTY YOU ARROGANT JERK! Also blacks can marry whites...what are you racist?!?! My grandma is 'white' and she married my grandpa whom is 'black' and my mother whom is a wonderful beautiful individual was born due to that marriage...you incompetent jerk! Also divorce is legal and it's a good thing too...otherwise women (and men) who get abused by their spouse can get away....your arrogance suprises me...also...straight marriage will not be less meaningful...in fact marriage would be just as meaningful anyways...also brittneys 55 hour marriage was BS so i don't care i think that was just stupidity....also in # 6 it states...that gays cannot produce children and shouldnt get married...wellthat may not be able to have children together but they sure as hell can raise kids...as for infertile couples it isnt their fault that they cannot have children and furthermore marriage is a contract and conditions are different in each marraige...as for old people they should be able to get married because i dont care at what age you are if your in love you should be able to get married even in old age...yes the world needs more children because children are the joy of the world...but as for the orphanage comment it makes you sound insensitive....and also GAY PARENTS will not always raise gay children that is a bad stereo type....also the straight people DONT always raise straight children..because one of my best friends is gay and he has straight parents you moron....also the religion thing is crap we have hundreds of religions in america and not all religions specifically oppose to gay marriage....also i am suceeding just fine and i dont have a male role model at home...all i really have is my mother....and # 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.' we have adapted to cars...hello!!! look at our economy...and also we have gotten used to longer life spans...i have stated my opinion you JERKOFF!!! i hope you can sleep at night...for being a jerk you are pretty STUPID!!!!

Top Ten Reasons Why Gay Marriage is a Natural Part of Life and Should Be Taught To Our Children


01) Being gay is natural. If everyone were gay, our species would be just as genetically strong, if not stronger, and our children would be better off.

02) Gay marriage will not encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around drinkers and drug users will not encourage you to do drink or do drugs.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will not open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. Obviously, instutionally recognizing a sexually deviant lifestyle could never send the message that decadence and depravity is ok.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time... wait, isn't the term "straight marriage" redundant? I'll just refer to that as marriage from now on. I mean, "straight marriage?" Come on. That's so gay.

05) Marriage will be just as meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; encouraging sexual deviance will only serve to strengthen our ability to provide nurturing, healthy atmospheres to raise our children.

06) Marriages are not valid simply because they produce children. The point of marriage is quite obviously NOT to provide a stable family structure to support the possible decision to raise children.

07) Obviously having gay parents will not increase tendencies towards homosexuality in their children, since our parents have absolutely no effect on our development.

08) This is not a reason.

09) Children are just as likely to succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why violent criminals so frequently come from healthy, nurturing families.

10) Gay marriage will not change the foundation of society; towards the end of the Roman empire, wanton sexual deviance became commonplace. Nevertheless, their society was healthy and just, and certainly did not collapse due to corruption and weakness.

I'm gay. I'm just going to come right out and say it. My parents were just like everyone else's. I grew up just like everyone else. I know I had no choice in my sexuality. I don't really know what else to say. When people make fun of me or whatever, I just shrug it off because there isn't anything I can do to change who I am. I can't change my sexuality just like you can't change yours.

Gay/lesbian marriages
(Anonymous)
2006-05-01 12:19 pm UTC (link)
People who are against gay marriage are the problem in todays society. You hear people complain against lack of human rights and how they want to be treated equally, but then they hypocritically state that they are against gay and lesbian marrage which gives gay and lesbians equal treatment.

One word..... PREJUDICE

The problem with the people who are against it is that these are the people who build barriers in the mordern society of today and these are the people who nurture the children to be against many things that are now widely excepted by todays people. And when people nurture their children with prejudice with such issues such as gay/lesbian marriage is wrong from a young age, the child accumulates what is being said to them and as they grow older, the passion behind their feelings grow stronger and stronger.

Incouraging this type of seperation between people tears apart the society. All this prejudice has to stop now! The problem with the world is prejudice, prejudice is the thing that provides a back bone to the majority of crimes in my opinion and prejudice is the thing that seperates and makes a bigger barrier between different people.

If people carry on using prejudice in these cases, things are just going to get worse and worse. They need to look at each situation and see that in most cases the two people do love each other greatly and that is the whole point of why they feel they need to get married. Prejudice is in my opinion a fall in human nature that tears apart everybody and is part the demeanor of evil.


Wow, the essay by me!!!!!

Yeah, you gays should be accepted. After all, you are BORN gay...it's not a decision! AND...while we're at it...we should also take another look at pedophiles and other sexual deviants since they are ALSO born that way and can't help being who they are. There obviously isn't anything wrong with homosexuals! If you think you're Christian, it's OK to ignore those parts of the Bible you don't like and just think that OOPS! God made a mistake (you were really supposed to be a member of the opposite sex). If you don't believe in God...just pretend that the last several thousand years of evolution was ALSO a big mistake and that the whole point of male/female was so that you can try to intermingle parts that aren't meant to intermingle. I mean, OTHER species on the planet mate up male/male and female/female...OH WAIT! NO THEY DON'T! Just us stupid humans! (Or is it a sign of our "supreme intelligence" that men will put thier penises in each other's ass etc etc). You people can go on and on creating bizarre reasons and justifications on why homosexuality is "normal"...luckily for the rest of us the sane silent majority will always be here to keep you mixed-up, chemically imbalanced people in check. Try as you may...you will NEVER be totally accepted in normal, mainstream society. You will ALWAYS be freaks.
