Ridiculous Arguments against Gay Marriage - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

xblacklightsx · 17th Oct 2010, 07:27 PM

So for my homework in English a week or two ago was that we had to post responses in our English class's website's online forum. It was a total of six questions that we had to respond to and one of them had to do with gay marriage. So obviously being the nosy person I am I looked at what other people thought of the subject. Majority of them were actually really good and thoughtful responses like this one which made me super happy because he quoted my deceased husband Dumbledore:

Quote:

"It is not our abilities who truly describe who we are, it is our choices"- Dumbledore

If we truly wish to be united and succeed in struggling times. We should accept everyone as who they are. Happiness resides on those who truly know how to wield it. The gay community knows what happiness is and they want everyone to realize that happiness is but one step away.. acceptance. Once acceptance is implemented, then everyone can understand that marriage shouldn't really be the huge buzz as everyone is giving it. The gay community should be allowed to marry for they do deserve the right as anyone else.

But others...*sigh*...:

Quote:

I'm fine with it as long as they don't try anything, because if they do is an other story. I may be homophobic but just because of how I am doesn't stop them from being happy.

Quote:

I am against gay marriage. Children need the role or a mother and a father not just one or the other. Nothing against gay people, but children do need parents of different sex.

Now my two absolute favorites and that will go down as two phrases that will go down in my personal history book are:

Quote:

I feel bad because I'm all for equal rights, but I hope and pray that i'll never attend a gay marriage in my life. I'm not trying to go to that after party.

Quote:

I'm against Gay marriage because its completely disgusting and its amazing that it would even be allowed in this country but people these days do not care for whats moral they only care for being happy and the most happy people are always the gay people.

Now there were more that were like more opinionated and backed up properly so I didn't post them because there were the generic one man one woman junk and they didn't deserve our attention. Has anybody else found ridiculous arguments against gay marriage that go beyond the generic, overused ones?

I personally say Gay Marriage because I don't feel like writing it all out. Lazyness to the max!

The one that pisses me off the most is people who are afraid the the GLBT community will start to recruit 'Straight People' if we get the right to marry whom we please regardless of gender.
Seriously these people are so ignorant. Obviously is a 'straight person' is dating someone in the GLBT community they are most likely questioning their own sexuality and the person that they arre dating isn't recruiting them.
And if I got a penny for every time I heard God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve I would be a millionaire, no joke. It was said in my high school government class at least twice in the period. It was kind of ridiculous.

the phrase i hate most is ''it's not natural'' followed by ''gays are the cause of AIDS'' .. it makes my blood boil !!!

"I'm not homophobic, I have friends who are gay, but I'm against same-sex marriage because it's not normal."

"God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." - You're not witty or original. STFU.

"It's so gross." - I think mayonnaise is repulsive, but I'm not trying to outlaw it.

"The Bible says it's bad." - The Bible also says that pork is unclean and mixing milk and meat is wrong. I don't see you trying to outlaw bacon cheeseburgers.

My Father: "The Homosexuals can do what ever they want, but I shouldnt be forced to live with it by allowing them to get married"

I was this close to slapping him.

My Mother: "I understand why women could want to marry each other. It is all about emotions in that case. Guys on the other hand only think about sex. Love has nothing to do with those relationships."

Grrrr

In my history class we were talking about issues the US faces today. I said homophobia/gay marriage bans/Don't Ask Don't Tell. My favorite responses... :P

"What, are you like a lesbian or something???"
"But... what's wrong with Don't Ask Don't Tell?"
"I'm not homophobic, I just don't like faggots."
"I support gay rights... No homo though."

Dontcha just love people?

I don't understand how that's allowed in schools. That certainly wouldn't fly at my HS.
