To those who plan to vote against gay marriage, I want to offer a few points.
1) “My bible/religion says its bad, and I follow that” is not good enough because the bible also says: (a) Rabbits chew cud (Lev 11:6) (b) Some flying creatures walk on four legs (Lev 10:20-21) (c) Menstruating women and everything they touch are unclean. The only cure for this uncleanness was for the priest to kill a couple of pigeons. (Lev 15:19-30) – And none of these blatant fucking inaccuracies result in widespread discrimination, the denial of rights, and the creation of a tiered social structure in which people are placed lower simply because of who they love.
2) You can’t use the “marriage was originally for the production of children” argument, because (a) then you’d have to deny marriage to barren and infertile people, and (b) Lesbian couples could have TWICE the children, making them – in fact – SUPER-marriages.
3) You can’t say it’s because children need a mother and a father, because (a) plenty of men and women have successfully raised children alone and (b) plenty of homosexual couples – regardless of legal status – have successfully raised children.
4) You can’t say it’s because “that’s the way marriage has always been,” because once marriage was forbidden between blacks and whites, and we solved THAT little civil rights issue.
5) You can’t say it’s because it would lead to incest and bestiality – something a lot of people seem to think – because (a) homosexuality is not “deviant” and (b) it’s a fucking retarded argument.
So go ahead and vote to discriminate against people simple because of who they love. But KNOW that even if I’m wrong, and there is a god, if he’s HALF as loving as you claim to believe he is, then you have to know, deep in your heart, that allowing people to enter into a spiritual, legal, familial bond, equal to all others who have ever done it, and bringing with it legal, financial and supportive responsibilities, benefits our entire society.
If you still want to vote against them.
1) %&@# you
2) And the horse you rode in on.
