And even if gays are mentally ill (what they are not), why shouldn't they have the right to marry. In whaf ways does it offend you in everyday life?
Ah the old and getting tired "how does it affect you personally" argument.
It's not how it affects the individual, it's how it affects society and in particular, children. In Utah, for example, getting married elevates you to a new status where you are eligible to adopt orphans. However, the LBGT cult icon Harvey Milk took in orphaned minor teens, sodomized them and presided as their father figure and guardian at the same time. So this expressed set of values towards children becomes very problematic when talking about elevating this same cult of people to "married" in Utah, and other states that mandate you are married in order to adopt.
Um, not really. Lot's of straight men abuse their step-daughters or even their biological daughters.
Then there's the terrible example to hold out to our young that one man using another man's anus as an artificial vagina is "OK, healthy and normal". Just in the recent same years the big media push for gay marriage and all things gay has started, there has been a 24% spike in new HIV cases for impressionable teen boys. Funny all these "new gays" in our population. But then again, I understand how monkey-see, monkey-do works.
Do you have a link that isn't to a homophobic Christian site?
If so, is there a spike because HIV is spread by gay sex or straight sex? Or is there a spike because we have more testing and reporting now?
Fun fact on that last point. Each boy that comes down with HIV will statistically become indigent and rely on taxpayers to pay for his average of $500,000 medical bills until he dies a lingering and horrible death of AIDS. All from the example of the "good and healthy" practice of men using other men's lower digestive tracts as artificial vaginas.
I think we're smarter than that. I think as a nation we can do better at that on thinking ahead before we go and do something stupid...
Again, the vast majority of people who have AIDS in the world contracted it through heterosexual contact. A much bigger culprit is Catholic Charities in Africa that don't teach about safe sex and discourage condom usage.
