...

And it has nothing to do with what happens to me. As I have already said, if something happens to me or not is not what always dictates if something is right or not.
That's because you are morally bankrupt. Whether or not something hurts someone else is the only line that makes logical sense with regard to lawmaking.

So you think it should be legal for someone to torture animals that they own? :hmm:

The celebration of marriage should not apply to two people of the same sex because it is unnatural and unhealthy and the human body is not made to work that way. It's wrong. Only a man and a woman are made to come together as one.

And it has nothing to do with what happens to me. As I have already said, if something happens to me or not is not what always dictates if something is right or not.

It isn't wrong. There is no wrong where there is no harm. You need to examine the basis of your moral system. It has lead you astray and caused you to expend effort defending senseless "values" that only decrease the sum total amount of freedom and happiness in the world.

Bah. Just because I don't think black people and white people should be married doesn't make me a horrible person.

But you agree it would actually, right? Do you realize the same arguments about what's natural, kids growing up and seeing a black and white person together, etc., all those arguments were used in the past against other civil rights issues?

Race is not the same. False analogy.

Being born black is a totally natural. As is Chinese or whatever. Nothing wrong with it. They are a product of their environment.

Being gay... well, that isn't. No living thing is purposely born to be not attracted to the opposite sex or to not be able to procreate.

Already explained it, thanks.

Anything that you do, that if everyone would do it, would lead to your death or the death of the entire human race, its not a good thing and should not be celebrated as such.

LOL This guy thinks gay is a disease that will spread like wild fire. Were all going to catch "teh gayz" and kill the human race.

Actually the reason why interracial marriage was illegal was because they didn't want a bunch of mixed-race babies running around.

If anything the fact that interracial marriage was illegal is proof that same-sex marriage is nonsensical.

even if being gay *is* a choice, why should it really matter? it's not as if fertility is a requirement for marriage and I haven't heard the government passing any laws to force all married couples to bear children.

If you are as dense minded as you, maybe. Consider this though -

I'm talking about gay men and women who seek to adopt children and start families.

These kids are being raised in an unnatural environment, and being taught that homosexuality is as valid and accepted a lifestyle as heterosexuality - it isn't.

To bad your view of natural isnt the norm and people dont care what you think. Too bad, maybe next time your voice will matter.

Yeah but you see that stuff everytime you drive through a "gay neighborhood" you see gay people making out etc... it is absolutely disgusting and children especially do not need to be seeing that. And these same people want to adopt kids...

Agan. Nobody cares what your view of the world is. Stop being a bigot and grow up.

Go fuck a toaster.

Funny according to multiple posters in this thread there is no rational basis for not allowing someone to marry a toaster

This is false. there is no excuse for not knowing this is false.

Which of course is exactly the opposite of what marriage is about. Marriage isn't about saying that married couples must bear children. Its about saying that unmarried couples shouldn't be bearing children.

There is no rational basis for not allowing someone to marry a toaster. Good luck getting your toaster to consent though.

What about the hundreds of examples of gay relationships between animals? Guess that's not natural either...

Airplanes require enormous amounts of energy, create pollution, and there's scarcely enough space on Earth to support enough airplanes for 7 billion people. Just building that many planes would multiply toxic chemicals in the air by a million times.

Does sticking your little dick in a pussy come natural to you? If you answer yes then you have your answer to homosexuality.

Ah.... but that is no answer.

You are making an assumption that someone born heterosexual feels the same about sexuality as someone that is born homosexual.

People that are born correctly know they are not gay, and the issue is clear.

It may not be the same with gays. If it was, then why do so many gays have sex with the opposite sex? Maybe it's not so clear as you make it out to be.

A poll I read a while back said 93% of lesbians have had sex with a man. Sure sounds like sexually confused people making a choice to me.

But there is no rational basis for a law requiring a toaster to consent to marriage.

What person is harmed by allowing people to forcibly marry toasters? :hmm:
