10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong
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: 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.
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 Brittany 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: 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.

I disagree with you Dmcclure1. I have seen gay people who are happy the way they are and I know 1 gay person and I think he's cool. There is nothing wrong with a gay couple having children. Gay people should be allowed to wed because they are a person just like you and me. They have the right to be happy and no one can take that right away from them. I support gay people, and if you don't like it, well then that's your problem.

Dmcclure1 was being sarcastic rockChick. :) This has been floating around the internet for a while as a tongue-in-cheek response to the reasons people give why Gay Marriage is wrong. Sarcastic irony is my cup of tea.

I love that little list, Dugg. It makes me laugh at how horribly, depressingly stupid some people are. It just doesn't make sense that straight people are allowed to VOTE on whether gay people can/can't get married. Why is this such an issue? It's not hurting anyone and it has NOTHING to do with them, nothing at all. So what if a few churches don't get to boss the world around? It's not their place...
Except Lutherans. They have recently allowed openly-gay (non-celibate) members as well as clergy to attend their churches. Go Lutherans! At least somebody is breaking the chain of archaic, hurtful ideals.
