Default 10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong!!!

My favorite 10 reasons why Gay Marriage is Wrong!

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

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

03) 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.

04) 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.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) 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.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) 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.

09) 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.

Enjoy and send it to your friends!!!!

Arrow Very good, Clarity!

Excellent points, Clarity. I can now "clearly" see the error of my ways and my thinking. Now.....to find a non-divorced married heterosexual.....I'll get back to you when I do.....

Thumbs up Ok, I’m throwing this one in.

This is the third time this has been posted and everyone here is too nice to say so, because WE ALL LOVE IT! Obviously the humor and truth in this resonates profoundly.

So I propose this. I believe the marriage amendment is coming up again in June, expected to fail again but let’s give ‘em a run for their money this time!

When it hits the media again, I say we send this in as a letter to the editor (to the media shows too for that matter). Heck, let's send it to our congress people, it's brilliant!

Either send it in, as is, with the reference, or modify it with our own words in letter form with our own examples (or what ever way strikes your fancy ). It came out to 150 words on my WordPerfect, and my local paper takes up to 250 words, so no problem there.

Well, I’m doing it. But ONLY because I know a third person found it funny enough to post!

Thanks Clarity!

I'd do it.

It wouldn't have as much of an impact in Toronto, though.
