SSM came up in the Indiana State Senate, and one particularly pointy-headed conservative senator (Patricia Miller) had the main argument of “gays can’t reproduce, if we allow SSM, the world will become depopulated”. I think she seemed to believe that allowing SSM would somehow force EVERYONE to marry the nearest same sexed person and never have reproductive sex ever again.
Well, I wonder if her argument is a case of wrongly generalizing Derleth’s “…then that’s it for me.” argument.
Even worse, there will be all kinds of woman-woman wedding pictures in newspapers, showing what real lesbians look like*. Thereby ruining the arousal value of lesbian fantasies.
- – real lesbians of course look just like any other human beings, as opposed to airbrushed Playboy bunnies pretending to make out with each other.
Since gay people can’t reproduce, they have to recruit our children–Anita Bryant
I can’t begin to tell you what is wrong with that statement–Marge Simpson
You’ve seen that show Bridezillas? The one where brides-to-be throw a conniption because they aren’t getting every damn person on the planet to kowtow to their obsessive greed? Now imagine a spinoff where all the couples are gay men. I’m already violently allergic to Bridezillas; a double bill of that and But It’s MY Gay Wedding! might be enough to put me permanently down for the count.
If gays can marry then Barack HUSSEIN Obama!!!
We got to keep gay people gay/happy or we’ll have to find a new term for them. And Lord knows you can’t be happy and married at the same time.
Tough OP when you get down to it.
Anyway, it’s illegal to have more than one toaster oven per household, innit?
I don’t know about you, but I spend a LOT of time practicing non-reproductive sex.
The increased demand for “throwing rice” will exacerbate the United State’s trade deficit, destroying our superpower status and permanently placing us under the economic yoke of China and other “yellow menace” nations eager for payback.
Marriage is for reproduction, and gays can’t reproduce.
But we let infertile people marry. Are you saying all post-menopausal women should not be allowed to marry?
No, but children need both a mother and a father.
So pregnant single women should be forced to give their newborn babies to a real couple. Even the 9/11 widows who gave birth? Or should we give them six months to remarry before we take their children away?
BECAUSE SSM IS WRONG, DAMMIT!
Marriage itself is wrong, it traps people in relationships when they need to explore other people. It would be unfair to impose the concept of marriage on homosexuals and restrict their choices, heterosexuals are already used to the concept, and it would be too hard to stop them, so they can continue.
Groom’s cake is, by law in 49 states, chocolate. If there is no groom, there is no chocolate cake. I’m not spending good money for lame tasting fondant cake. No gifts= businesses close, further ruining the economy.
Gay marriage will cause hurricanes. Oh, wait, sorry that’s abortions. Gay marriage causes blizzards. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire? Far more blizzards than Texas and Florida, and now you know why!
Well, Barack HUSSEIN Obamer is taking our freedoms away, and after he takes our guns and uses his death panels to kill our grandmothers, he’s going to force people to gay marry. Trust me on this.
Why not both?
Now that is a good argument. Chocolate . . . yum . . .
Also, gay marriage turned me into a newt!
A newt???
(someone had to post the set-up)
No, you’re thinking of Gandhi.
Jesus was the guy who wanted to abolish capital gains taxes.
I got better.
Oh, right!
Heh. You know, this is probably the best argument against same-sex marriage I’ve ever heard.
