With prop 8 in cali on the line, and the future of gay rights being decided possibly in the next few years, I wanted to post this:

01. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03. 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.

04. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay 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.

07. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08. 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 America.

09. 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

On number 2 and 7, my parents are Christians. My brother's and I had the same upbringing. They are all Christians, except me. I went to church with my grandparents when I was young, and even then I found the idea of God to be unbelievable. Literally, I couldn't believe in it. So...despite being raised a healthy, straight Christian, I am a Bisexual, Atheistic, human. I have should have the same rights as any other human being.
