reasons gays should not be allowed to marry
Reason: Straight marriage will be less meaningful if civil marriage equality becomes law.Of course. Straight marriages are always meaningful. Just ask Britney Spears about her 55-hour “just for fun” marriage and its deep meaningfulness, or Rush Limbaugh about his four deeply meaningful marriages.
Reason: Civil marriage equality would change the foundation of society.
That’s right. Heterosexual-only marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms, just as we haven’t adapted to cars, longer lifespans, the abolition of slavery, or women voting.
Reason: Civil unions provide most of the same benefits as marriage—just with a different name.
Yes, “separate but equal” always works so well. Just think when we had separate schools for African-Americans and separate water fountains for the same — these worked beautifully, and were eminently fair.
