11 Reasons Gay People Should Not Be Allowed To Marry

11-reasons-gay-people-should-not-be-allowed-to-marry

                        Thought I would share this wonderful post from The House of Bone:

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

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

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

4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed, since Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

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

9. 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.

10. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

11. 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 a longer lifespan.

I love this! Thanks Kelly.

I thought this would be a good follow up:

Marriage = 1 man + 1 woman

Well…

… unless one happens to be a Biblical Patriarch, in which case marriage equals one man and several women, or even one man, several women and free use of slave girls called concubines.

Or if one happens to be a legendary Israelite King then marriage equals one man and hundreds of women plus slave girls.

Or if one happens to be a Jew up until the tenth century, marriage could mean one man and several wives.

Much the same held in China for century upon century.

Or perhaps one happens to be one of the Toda, then marriage equals several men plus one woman. Or perhaps one is a nomadic Tibetan, then marriage equals two brothers and one woman.

Or maybe one is Kaingang, in which case one has options– one man plus one woman, one man plus several women, several women plus one man, or several men plus several women.

Or maybe one is Nayar, in which case marriage isn’t much about adding at all.

Or in large swathes of the pre-columbian New World, one could opt to marry a berdache.

A soldier in any number of cultures– among them the ancient Greek and the Japanese– could take a younger soldier for a ‘military wife’. The practise still continues in some African cultures, the !Kang, for example.

Really, these “Marriage = One Man + One Woman” people need a lesson in cultural anthropology.

some day people will look back on this day and scratch their heads.

rights for blacks to marry whites could be settled in the courts

rights for gays to marry cannot be settled by the legislature(california)or even by the courts but only by referendum.

if you elect alfred e neuman as president, its not about alfred e neuman, but the people who elected him.

my personal opinion. for whatever reason the american electorate remains one of the most ignorant, the most inept, the most inactive and the most arrogant of the western world.

case in point, we supposedly have the best medical facilities in the world. and when it was disclosed that we had one of the lowest mortality rates………..werent nary a ripple.

why because too deal with it requires socialistic response……..and you know about them thar socialists…….weuns here are capitalists.

and if you were refer to the bible you read the year of jubilee where all debts were canceled and all land was returned to its original owner……………………dahhhhhh.

can it get any worse …you betchum.

Excellent post!

Heh. For the first couple, I was thinking “Is that person really that ridiculous……” Then it got too ridiculous to be possible.

*two cents*
I am against gay “marriage”. Marriage is a sacrament that is between a man and a woman, which is something homosexuals cannot do. I am, however, all for some form of union granting homosexual couples the same rights as heterosexual couples. I don’t know enough about it to know if some sort of union already exists…
*end two cents*

hilarious!

and bunny, unions works just as well so long it is recognised by the law.

*crossing my fingers*

Don’t let Bunny off the hook that easily. Really? After reading all this you think that a simple union would be acceptable? It’s a baby step in the right direction. Marriage under the LAW is not a sacrament. By using the term sacrament to distinct hetero from homo relationships, you are insulting us and implying that this would not be a solemn vow, supported by God; thereby showing your gross misinterpretation of the Bible. You’re regurgitating things you’ve heard your whole life, which shows your clear distinction from everyone else who commented on this post. We’ve clearly done some thinking on the subject. You speak with, admittedly limited knowledge on the subject. I’m not telling you to keep your opinions to yourself, but I beg you to please think a little before opening your fat mouth, or rather laying your fat fingers on the keyboard.

On another note: This IS an oldy, but DEFINTELY goody and worth keeping in circulation as long as possible. And Kelly’s addition should ALWAYS be included. Well done!

AND… I just realize that these comments are mostly over a year old… BUT STILL… :)
