Opposed to gay marriage? Here are some talking points
12 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Should Be Illegal
- Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control.
- Heterosexual
marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples
and old people can’t legally get married because the world needs more
children.
- Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
- Straight
marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed, since
Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
- Heterosexual
marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women
are property, blacks can’t marry whites, and divorce is illegal.
- Gay
marriage should be decided by people, not the courts, because the
majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected
the rights of the minorities.
- 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.
- Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
- 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.
- Children can never
succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why
single parents are forbidden to raise children.
- Gay
marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage
has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social
norms because we haven’t adapted to things like cars or longer
life-spans.
- Civil unions, providing most of the same
benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a
“separate but equal” institution is always constitutional. Separate
schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages
for gays and lesbians will.
This
is floating around quite a lot. I couldn't say it better myself. I
think it originated from an LGBT group at U of Florida.
