Yesterday I posted a humorous entry on the "10 best reasons gay marriage is wrong." Today, what I post below is devoid of humor--rather evoking within righteous indignation at the gross mis-characterizations and fallacious conclusions quoted below. The below arguments "Gay Marriage: Why Would It Affect Me?" found at... (more)

Where does one begin with these idiocies except that by posting them here on this forum, you have given them credence. None of them make any sense at all.

  Oh I dunno Davey, I kinda liked the humorous ones, I was going to share those with my mom and have a gooooood belly laugh. Of course now that I think about it and realize people probably believed that crap, I might cry. I should really stop coming here, my blood-pressure needs it...and my friends won't let me on more than once every other day

I will dispute them one at a time.
#1 - Ridiculous and specious. What proof do they have that children are harmed by knowing that homosexuals exist? What proof do they have that a family structure will decay if they know that a homosexual couple may have the same rights as them? None. There is no data to support any of that. It is opinion based on out-dated interpretations of the bible.
#2 - That argument is again ridiculous. Polygamy is not the same as two men or two women marrying. And beasts and children cannot consent.
#3 - Divorces will still be the same. They will just involve two men or two women instead.
#4 - News! They already are! Homosexuality is a reality in life and teaching children to hate is abuse.
#5 - That's actually true! Courts will have to treat all loving couples who want to adopt the same. It's called the law. Non-discrimination.

  Cont'd,
  #6 - Foster parents SHOULD have to take sensativity training to know how to deal with gay kids. As a gay person, my teens were a torrent of positive and negative feelings that I needed to sort out. My parents were unaware through most of my teens how sad and unhappy I really was. Had they had a little training in helping me deal, I might not have had such a turbulent time in my 20's figuring out who I was.
  #7 - Foolish. Social Secuirty pays EVERYONE who paid in after a certain time. Regardless of their gay or straight status. And most companies do already offer some domestic partner benefits as does our federal government. That is a blatant lie.
  #8 - Again, ridiculous. Gay marriage is ALREADY legal in most of the free world. We in America are the last bastian of hate and bigotry. And I love how they equate porn to gays.
  #9 - Gays aren't against church. Just bigots.
  #10 - Not an argument.
  There. Done.
