This list from the Gator Gay-Straight Alliance of the University of Florida:
- Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control are not natural.
- Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people cannot get legally married because the world needs more children.
- Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.
- Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears’s 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
- Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and it hasn’t changed at all: women are property, Blacks can’t marry Whites, and divorce is illegal.
- Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.
- Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That’s why we only have one religion in America.
- Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.
- 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 license.
- Children can never succeed without both male and female role models at home. That’s why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
- 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 cars or longer lifespans.
- 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 will for gays & lesbians.

Great stuff

Yeah. It seems to cover basically every argument the right has made against gay marriage and show how incredibly illogical each one is. Especially eight.

#4 is funny

Yeah, eight is my favorite…

Wow…this came from a university?

A gay-straight alliance at a university, yeah. Not a professor. But it’s still pretty surprising, especially since Florida isn’t exactly known for its liberalism. Maybe University of Florida is though, I don’t know.

Marriage legally predicates the perpetuation of the human species on mating, heterosexual human relations. Same sex marriage will legally predicate the perpetuation of the human species on matingless human relations. With same sex marriage when a man and a woman get married at best, they will be married as matingless opposite gender human relations. At worst they will be married as two males performing anal sodomy, i.e., matingless “mating”.

I believe that all this is just a bunch of bull. Gay parents will raise gay children? No that’s not actually true. Straight parents have gay kids. They learn to accept it because they love their children. People who don’t accept gays I believe are selfish. I’m doing a report on gay marriage I need to find reasons to oppose and support gay marriage and a lot of the reasons to oppose are pathetic. I’m gay and my parents are straight. I don’t have problems with people that are religious and that’s why they don’t support it. But in all honesty LOVE IS LOVE. People can’t help whom they fall in love with and we shouldn’t be judge because of it.

It’s well- known among women that they should be very wary of marrying attorneys or physicians considering what sort of treatment they’ll endure should the marriage break up. I’d add computer programmer to that list. There are a number of them (not …
