Why Gay Marriage is Wrong...
1) Being gay is not natural. Real people 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 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 the world.
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...
A friend posted this on facebook, I thought it would be right at home here at the HP Forums.
Somehow I am relieved.
Should be used as a campaign or something
lolol all true huh? This musta come direct from a newspaper - a long time ago. Funny, sarcastic - but I wonder if anyone's gonna get it wrong
All good reasons.
Gayful !
Absolutely silly lololo prehistoric facts lololo and guess what some have gotten it wrong.
Well, I caught my straight parents "doing it," when I was a kid. I have never fully recovered.
Correct - it is great fun
Nice try, dear, but it is you, not I, who has been harping on the notion that same-sex marriages should not be legal because they cannot procreate.
You claim that the design and function of sex is procreation; for this view to have any merit in regard to marriage, no marriage that wasn't going to produce children would be legal. That's not the case, so your argument has absolutely no merit.
There is actually no justification for preventing homosexual couples from having a legal marriage, but keep trying to come up with one; it's entertaining.
You are making some awfully big assumptions here.
Function? Perhaps the function of homosexuality is just hidden from your minuscule understanding of the (assumed and impossible to prove) creator's magnificence and it will be revealed in good time.......?
I would say that this statement is all Greek to me, but.....
My clean garments are in the wardrobe, so I don't need to seek too hard
Dear oh dear. Yet another one who knows not what she says........
Gotta love the passive/aggressive "god says" approach. "Not that I have an opinion or anything, but god says,"xxxx
Darkside - you have a customer.
It is excellent. Perhaps not quite as funny as the original, but still good. I especially like the use of Capital Letters.

0I am feeling more gay already just from reading this thread.
Teresa, want to get married? Gay marriage is great - yet another excuse for a great party and getting gloriously drunk. Happy Days
I totally support any excuse for getting gloriously drunk! Probably only proves that we are heathens though.
I have started looking into the possibility of becoming a Dionysos worshipper.
Mind you, the Greek Orthodox church is not too bad. You go to church and then go to the taverna for food, cigarettes, wine and dancing. Happy Days
Personally, I skip the church bit and go straight to the taverna. God must be busy trying to stop gays taking over the world, so I figured that we should cut out the middleman and save valuable time.
It is what his Time and Motion Angel (Steve) would want

I think Shades needs to come back and talk about swinging pendulums... I would, but! I officially have a couple days off, so...
I personally think the argument was not all THAT, Websense, so some were not taking it that seriously... Um, oh yeah, procreation is very, very important, what with over population and all--but I forget! You guys don't usually believe in that, do you? - pgrundyposted 15 years ago0
"Dude, nice total non-sequitur with the commie/socialist thing. You get props for the most enormous leap of fallacious WTF-ness of all time. If there was a galactic cupie doll for carnival nonsense of that stupendousness, I would give it to you. (Oh crap, I am doing my Rules for Radicals thing again. DOH! I hope the inquisitor doesn't show up and get me.)"
LOL! Shades you are the master.
I would recognize your ridicule anywhere and bow down to it. It's not a tool for the Inquisitor--It's art. - Madame Xposted 15 years ago0
So, what about those who are not ruled by your government? You seem to be assuming that we are all American. Not going to be fascists here any time soon
Great - so that means that your argument is completely irrelevant to me. Saves a lot of time.
Amen to that.
Is Citi against gay marriage?
I'm thinking no. Lots of potential debt there--flowers, cake, tuxedos, honeymoons... for everything else, there's Master Card!Honeymoon in Mykonos or Lesvos - the Greeks do very well from the Pink Pound/Dollar
I take it then that you are suggesting that we should abolish legal marriage altogether...good luck with that.
Personally, I think every couple (homosexual and heterosexual) should be given a "Civil Union License" that confers upon them the same rights and privileges a "marriage license" does now.
Then if they want to later have a "marriage ceremoney" in whatever faith they believe in they can, but in legal terms everyone would have a "civil union."
LOL.
No, no, Madame X... It's just that I believe most of the 'liberals' here already know all this. You know, this gets weird with politics...what with all these interests mixing in together...and what with people being human and having certain proclivities and being involved in government, too.
The Communist/Socialist pre-amble was GREAT fun to read, tho, I must say!
That is not the one I ate is it? I wouldn't like to think I ate a gay pussy.
At least - unknowingly..............
I have been personally responsible for at least three conversions.Haha! I'm calling BS on this one, Mark!
No really. You want phone numbers?
No, I want you to post pictures!
That could get me into trouble in so many ways. I am married now.
I personally drove three women into becoming lesbian
Must be my charm....
Or something....
OH YEAH! It's a HUGE problem...

Can't blame her really can you? I mean - you don't get any further right than Hitler's Christian Nationalist party do you? Yet here you are suggesting it was left wing liberalism.
Last time I checked, the "gays" were a target of the right wingers.
I like the way you avoided my points as well - very nicely done. Are you a catholic?
'Tis all in a name.
In the UK, we had a political movement called the Monster Raving Looney Party. They were not monsters, were not really looney, and only did some minor raving.
Thatcher, on the other hand...........the name was made for herThat's how it works - people rant at each other for a few hours, until they run out of things to say. Then, Misha, Mark and I chill, and talk about alcohol for a while.
Give it a couple of hours, and the next shift will start the shouting match again!
er.....I didn't have a cheap dig at you.....not unless you are actually Margaret Thatcher.
There is something rather amusing about someone who admonishes others to "open a history book" who then turns around and cites "wiki" as a source.
I don't see it as unfair Sufi
I would not go that far as to say "quite stupid", but I do believe you guys are missing an important point of extremely close relations between fascism and socialism...Misha - She accused me of "Having a dig at her." The dig was, quite clearly, at Margaret Thatcher. I was hoping that Madame X would apologise for the false accusation, but maybe not.
For the record, I do understand the fine distinction, as we have discussed before - I also believe that both extremes lead to the same place.LOL Then I just did not understand
In fact I did not understand your original post either, until clarified a few posts down the road-
You were not missing much - it was a pretty lame, British joke - Sadly, I am never going to make a living as a comedian
Lita: I don't know what I did, but glad to help
Looking forward to that Hub - should be interesting.
Ummm, Mark, I think Madame is not that far from the truth. Far right is very close to far left by its methods and rhetoric, even though they are on the very opposite ends of a spectrum. Sorta opposites converge, you know. If I remember correctly, homosexuality was a criminal offense in the USSR, punishable by several years in prison
Sodomy and oral sex are still illegal in many parts of the US.
USA is USSR today, I always say
LOL Sufi, we already said to one another all what we could on the -isms topic, let's talk to fresh people, would we?
Could not miss the opportunity for a cheap dig at the woman.
As if by magic......
I am sure that you can hear somebody opening a bottle of beer across the other side of the world.A man after my own heart - why stick at one when you can have two?
Rum cocktails sound good, too. For me, an Ouzo

I miss Killian's sometimes.
Not much else though. Rum Runners it is, and I am a big fan of stuffed cabbage. I like mezedes with drinks, a small selection of delicious savouries

LGBT's should start a church.
If gays and lesbians started their own church, then they could get married.And nobody could stop them, because they would be protected by the first amendment, the freedom of religions act.And of course they would also be able to save a lot of money, because most religion do not pay taxes.

A question for straight people. What if you can't get married by law?
There is a lot of talk about allowing gay couples to get married, and, of course we all know the whole because god created man and woman BS. But, here is a what if question for you.Let's say that the tables were turned, and there was a law that was passed that banned all marriages all together....
