Default OT - In Defense of Religious Marriage

A modest analogy .....
[
12 reasons why gay people should not be allowed to get
married:

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 counrty. 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 longer lifespans.

12. 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 for gays and
lesbians will.
