Default 12 Reasons Same Sex Marriage Will Ruin Society.

Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control are not natural.

Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people cannot get legally married because the world needs more children.

Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.

Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears's 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and it hasn't changed at all: women are property, Blacks can't marry Whites, and divorce is illegal.

Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.

Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That's why we only have one religion in America.

Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes 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 license with a paw print.

Children can never succeed without both male and female role models 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 cars or longer lifespans.

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 will for gays & lesbians.

I have never understood the arguments against same sex marriage. Almost every other political issue I can see both sides of, but gay marriage seems like a no-brainer.

I'm curious, if you can't see any arguments against same sex marriage, then can you see arguments against bigamy? sibling marriage? etc?

Same sex marriage is simply being able to marry the person that you love regardless of their gender. This is vastly different than bigamy and inbreeding. But that is the standard arguement that is brought up by the religious right about how we are going to open the flood gates of all the immoral behavior in America. I seem to remember the big scandals with the religious rights pedophile preists and whore monger ministers. It is amazing how soon people forget things like that.
