I'm not saying I was convinced by any of that. But it's the best I've got if I HAD to argue against same-sex marriage.

Didn't mean to jump all over you ratbastid and I know what your saying. The scare tactics and opinions put forth against this type of union by the state and mainly church are nonsensical.
I would suggest one way for lafemmefatale to debate the anti-gay aspect is by defining the causal societal effects individually or other wise as secondary to the power that can and will be lost by both state and church by the acceptance of gay marriages. This however from the state and church point of views must be done without acknowledging the vast amount of power already available by both. Hence the cry of victimhood by both because of the eroding political and religious values that are supposedly cast in stone. That arguement will get someones attention.
