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.
 
See I find stuff like this as pointless and actually only serves to undermine everything that gay rights groups are fighting for.
I know its a 'joke' but its just not funny.

The above totally reeks of heinousness. Oh, did I mention it's not FUNNY? Red Eye thinks that it's lame.

yeah the number six isn't a very good 'counter argument' at all
What a total waste of my precious 20 seconds. If you care about gay rights, write something meaningful where we can actually discuss it.

Its like sarcasm without the humour.

I'm confused. Was the OP trying to audition for a spot on Fox News' Red Eye? If he was, dude bombed as badly as the "comic" who made a funny regarding Canada's drawdown of troops in Afghanistan. And all of Canada got REALLY bent...unlike us(who seem to treat every death of military personnel with a ho-hum attitude), they actually mourn those who pass on.
 
10 Reasons Why The Thread About 10 Reasons Gay Marriage is Wrong is Wrong:

1. It wasn't that funny.
2. It wasn't that original, as I've heard similar things before.

Ummm, that's really all I need.
 
Its one of those viral emails or Facebook thing-a-majigs!

The point is, with stuff like this, I know people who genuinely have an issue with Gay marriages.
They aren't bad people, they just need to know why the issues aren't really issues and how it will not only be a benefit to the gay community to the rest of the community in general, and jokes like this only serve to make those people feel like "we're" belittling them, we're attacking them and the simple fact is, when you attack someone it makes them more defensive.


You want equal rights, you treat EVERYONE with respect, even if they don't treat you with it - you don't lower yourself to their level, you try to raise them to yours!


Rant over.

Well said.
Okay, I'm just going to go ahead and close this one now. However, of course, please feel free to start a new thread to discuss gay marriage...

That thread was already opened during Prop 8 - I think that with some of the 'discussions' that have been had lately, maybe not so great an idea :p
