Stop unfairly, and incorrectly, labeling all opposition to same-sex marriage as anti-gay.
What would you prefer we call it, then?
There are some people I've come across who are against same sex marriage who aren't anti-gay, but it's moreso because they're against marriage across the board in general.
But you're not one of those people. So what is your reasoning? I believe we've asked this of you quite a few times here of late-still waiting for an answer. What about same-sex marriage bothers you so much? Why specifically are you so opposed to it?
Look, I'm just saying that this will open a very large (and dangerous) Pandora's box. Mainly, other groups will come out and say "well, if the president endorses gay marriage then why shouldn't he endorse polygamy as well?"....etc....etc.
People have been saying that well before Obama made his statement
. And those people are stupid. It's not even close to being a comparable argument and has been shot down time and time again.
For the record, though, I will say this: if everyone in a polygamous marriage was of legal age and consenting, I personally really couldn't care less if they want to live their lives that way. But as stated, that sort of marriage is a choice. Being gay is not a choice, and people shouldn't be denied the right to get married based on a trait they have no control over (and even if they did have control over it, it's still not a logical reason to deny them the right to get married).
And as for marrying dogs or robots or trees or whatever the fuck else sorts of warped comparisons the anti-same sex marriage crowd like to trot out, again: LACK OF CONSENT RENDERS THOSE NULL AND VOID. It's really, honestly not that hard a concept to grasp, people, let's get with the program here.
Meh. Considering that this segment is also alienated by free blacks, free women, liberals, immigrants, secular education, and anyone who doesn't prescribe to their narrow brand hard-line, flat-earth evangelical fundamentalism, I'm more surprised that we didn't "alienate" these mouth-breathers back into the 19th century where they belong ages ago. These people weren't going to vote for the "fascist socialist Muslim atheist black man" anyway; their tin foil hats don't seem to respond to reason, but do so happen to get perfect reception from FOX News--the network so terrified of progress that they're headquartered in the most liberal city in one of the most liberal states in the country and don't seem to be bothered by that contradiction one bit.
Yeah, it's really good to have you back
.
What is this I don't even.
It's really that simple. Truly do not see how it should be any other way.
