The Top Ten Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong

Apparently, this has been circulating for years on the internet as an e-mail, but I came across it on Facebook. In light of the recent Prop 8 ruling, I think it's fitting to share it here.

"The Top Ten Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong"
  1. Homosexuality is not natural. Real people always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
  2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
  3. 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.
  4. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still aren’t supposed to marry whites.
  5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if homosexual marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears’ 55-hour-just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
  6. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Homosexual 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.
  7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
  8. 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 North America.
  9. 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.

I talked about this topic a lot when I had to do public speaking in college. I basically talked about each one of those topis and made facetious comments about each one like the ones listed. I mostly did it to piss people off, especially the real religious students.

I wasn't very popular back then.

It's so frustrating for me to see people being denied equality in a country where it is said that everyone has the same rights.

You're smart enough to know they'll never shut up.

They at least shut up temporarily. I like to think they use that time to think about what they are saying and how it is wrong to hate someone simply for their sexuality.

I'm probably wrong though.
