Why are people against same-sex marriage when there's no legitimate reason to be?

My problem is NOT with marriage, but with homosexuality itself. I see homosexuality as a biological dead-end. Isn't the goal of DNA to replicate? How does same gender sex result in procreation? THAT is why I see homosexuality as a sickness of the mind. I can NOT see myself sucking on a penis. I can NOT see myself sticking my penis into the garbage dump, the cesspool, the disease ridden end point of the digestive system, not can I see it as normal that anyone else would do that either. Homosexuals CLAIM to be as normal as anyone else, but I fail to my penis in your butthole or yours in mine, as normal. OTHER than THAT one thing, anything else between consenting adults is fine by me as an expression of affection and yes, maybe even love. I can see kissing a man, but not that other thing. That said, all I am saying is that homosexuality is simply a MINORITY. On THAT basis, I approve of same-sex marriage. In many states, it is called a domestic union and in my state of Washington, as of the last vote by the public, carries the same legal ramifications as a "marriage" sanctified in a church. Go for it. Let 'em have all the benefits of marriage. I look forward to the time when I see the TV program "Divorce Court" which is on for an hour every weekday where I live and I watch once in a while, with gay couples breaking up! It isn't people like ME you have to convince, it is the CHURCH that you have to convince. I may see you as sick, twisted, perverted, but still you are only just another minority as far as I am concerned and deserve the same protection as any other minority. For me, marriage by gays would be a benefit! I would have that many fewer sick perverts hitting on ME when I go barhopping... There is NOTHING more pathetic than a 60 something gay guy hitting on ME.

You say, "Giving gays civil unions does nothing more than impose religion where it doesn't belong."

I must be dense. Getting married by a Justice of the Peace imposes NO such religious connotation, or have I missed something here? How does an atheist or any other non-believer getting married by a Justice impose any religion on anything? It may be called a "marriage" when performed by a Justice, but it really IS a civil union which only goes under the NAME of "marriage" in a legal sense. Atheists do not get married in a church because it is the church that does not accept THEM because they are non-believers. Income tax for a married couple is less than the total paid by the same two people filing individual returns. I get THAT as incentive for gay marriage, but if a civil union gets you that same advantage, why must it be called "marriage" to gain your approval? It is exactly THESE reasons YOU state why most normal people are against your position. You are claiming to be normal when in fact, you are not. You claim special treatment based on what most see is a perversion. Rubbing it in people's faces is NOT the best way to make friends and influence people. I am FOR equal rights, and I am opposed to gay rights as that implies favoritism, special treatment. I am opposed to special treatment based on being gay! I think it is sick, and perverted to stick a penis in a rectum. However, though I am opposed on MY personal preferences, I will NOT discriminate by law banning gay marriage. Freedom means we all have rights. In your case, it is a right to BE sick in the mind. You claim "logical fallacies" but refuse to enumerate WHY, which proves nothing to support your claims. You have to shy proof WHY these are not valid arguments. Your word isn't enough by itself.

Same-sex couples cannot adopt in all 50 states. In some state, if a private agency lets a same-sex couple adopt, they are breaking the law.

I think the children are raised best with a mother and father is the only logical argument against same-sex marriage. Studies have shown that children are more likely to turn out OK when they have both a mom and a dad instead of just one parent. Of course, those studies didn't look into whether the gender of those two parents actually matters so it's not a good argument against same-sex marriage, but I could see why someone against same-sex marriage would use it. Since it's not *that* bad of an argument.

Beats me as to why people are so paranoid about homosexuality! If you look at history, you will notice that most atrocities were committed by heterosexuals.

I think that people should mind their own business and just be glad that there is love in the world, regardless of sexual orientation.

You can talk yourself blue in the face and you are not going to be able to educate a person who refuses to open their minds.

In their stupid, warped, pathetic little minds they do have a reason; none of which is logical in any way, shape or form.

Edit @ msm below me: What the fcuk are you talking about? You mean being gay is abnormal? Where the fcuk do you think I came from...A DOG? I have a mother and father who were both in my life and raised me. Want to try again you retard?

I think gay people should be allowed to be as miserable as everyone else. I think gay people should have to get marrieds. You don't realize how lucky you are. The government has given you the perfect excuse to NOT get married and all you want to do is change that. I wish they had that law for straight people. I would be golden. Instead if I want out I have to pay up half of what i have earned.

To me the majority of america is christian/ catholic so they are against. I don't agree with it but it'd there lives and they should be able to marry whoever they want without the government telling them who they can and cannot love. honestly even if it's banned they are still going to be in love and ''married' but not legally yet they just don't have papers from courts.

so yes america is screwed up but you know not everything is perfect
