Supporting the Separation of Church and State

Top 10 Reasons Gay Marriage is UnAmerican

Categorized: Politics

I found this list on BW.org there was no attribution as he found it somewhere else. I thought it was very pertinent to this site and concisely addresses the most common arguments against gay marriage in a very funny way.

  1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
  2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
  3. 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.
  4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
  5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
  6. 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.
  7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.

We have discovered where this list possibly originated from. At least it is the oldest version so far of the dozens of versions we have found. The list has changed and improved a lot in 3 years. Everyone should go and see the original here. If anyone can validate this as the origin please let us know. Same if you have an earlier version. Thanks to everyone who has commented, keep it up.

  1. um, eyeglasses and polyester arent ‘unnatural’. you are confusing ‘artificial’ with ‘unnatural’; they are two completely different things. look up ‘unnatural’ in any dictionary (try dictionary.com). you have your own webpage about gay marriage and yet you are so completely clueless as to the basics of your opponents arguments. typical of liberals i guess. wow

  2. Gay is not the way

    this blog is supposed to highlight the infringement of religion into today’s government? yeah, buddy, ever heard of the separation of church and state?

  3. Sure have and it is under constant assault; thus the need to highlight the infringement of religion into government. I really don’t understand what point you’re making with your comment….

  4. I believe gays should have the right to marry.

    Love is love, and there isn’t nearly enough of it in the world.

  5. LDS is hardly a reliable, rational, logical or moral source to cite. Mormon religion, like every other European-in-origin religion, is deluded by its own sense of self-importance and bizarre & twisted desire to control everyone else’s reality.

    All y’all are very, very sad because of this sick obsession with power & control. It is why white culture and those who have internalized it are so messed up and why you are able to go around blinded to your own perversions and able to call these perversions “normal” while casting aspersions on well-adjusted, grounded, respectful and spiritual people in the world who strive to create harmony, not a poisonous environment where there is only one way to think/feel/believe/exist.

    It is more logical, rational, reliable, grounded, moral to call religion a mental illness than it is to call homosexuality a mental illness…I don’t see gays killing straights for not being gay while citing an invisible, unprovable, superstition.

    Thanks for the blog, I am writing in some blogs myself and I know it is also nice to get some positive feedback for what I write :-)

  7. Barack Obama is wrong on a lot of issues, but he is 100% correct when it comed to this one; As a religious institution, marriage should be left as is, and not tampered with or re-defined by government. However, homosexuals deserve to have the same rights and tax advantages as married couples do.

    Being snarky, and setting up straw-man arguments about what is or isn’t “American” only makes us look bad. I wish the author of this blog had more tact and class.

  8. In regards to the person who claims that homosexuality is genetic, you obviously havn’t had any anatomy & physiology courses, or flat out common sense as far as I am concerned. Don’t get me wrong, I support gay marriage because the facts are evident. Religion should play no part in conditioning gay marriage. This country was founded upon freedom from religious reign. However, to say that people are born gay makes no sense at all. A child is born with ZERO sexual orientation. I mean, if you can remember having sexuality as a newborn, please enlighten me. While it is true that everyone has different levels of hormones, you still cannot claim that a person is born gay, or straight for that matter. Please think before you speak. :)

    i am gay and i am married and if anyone has a problem with it then you can kiss my as* for real i know everyone has their own opinion but if you are a homophobe you should just keep you damn mouth shut… i am gay and i am damn proud

  11. this list is a bunch of bull shit. its just something that someone made up cause they are bored. gays should have thye right to marry becasue the united states is a FREE country.

    kball:

    Except it’s fucking genetic. Being gay is not a choice. Nobody would choose to have to live in fear, fear of being ostracized by their family and society. Get a clue buddy.

    In refererence to your ignorant comment, SCIENCE HAS STILL NOT FOUND ONE GAY GENE. Sleeping with the same sex is not hard-wired into you–It’s a choice. Can a bankrobber say,”Oh, I was born this way?” No, it’s clearly *NOT GENETIC* Since when is it normal for a man to have sex with a man a produce a child, or two women naturally having a child. That must tell you by nature, evolution, or God or whatever means it took place it just wasn’t the natural act to have children

  13. Lovely, informative site, thanks

    Favourited, fool!

    Am I the only one who doesn’t give a blind fuck whether or not being gay is innate? Alls I is knowing is that they’re gay and they really mean it. Or maybe it is an act and they enjoy being treated like shit be overreligious pricks, I dunno.

    And, speaking as a black guy, why is it that blacks seem to not consider religion so much when it comes to abortion, but when they gin up their religiosity when it comes to gay marriage. Funny that, and disappointing. I wish blacks would do better, instead about complaining about their own misfortunes while discriminating others.

    Of course, I’ve always maintained that those same people who use religion as an excuse to ban gay marriage really do so for extra-religious reasons. I mean, what about all the good faithfuls who support gay marriage. Are they bad Christians?

  15. To be against gay marriage doesn’t mean you hate. If the other side believes and assumes that then whatever you say they won’t listen. This is why the debate always turns ugly. It is because one side assumes the other side are haters. Liberals tend to assume bad motivations to those who disagree with them.

  16. religion makes me feel like shit. Im happy to not participate in it or think about it. The bible makes god look like a vindictive poop. And I think that some random guy wrote it thinkning it would make a nice story, then some where along the line someone decided to worship it. Im not saying their is no god! why cant their be? I mean as far fetched as it sounds, people want thier to be a god. A lot of people NEED a god. They need to belive that they are not alone and that when they die thats not the end of it. That when they die, their trivial lifes wont just end…SO sure, their can be a god. I dont really have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is the way people go about worshiping thier god. By following this bible thing that says being gay is wrong! and that slavery is all right. Christians always say that they love and accept everyone. But they really REALLY dont. it just seems a little hypocritical to me AND it makes them seem just a little, arrogant. Gay marriage should not be illegal for this simple reason, why deny any human person thier rights because of an aspect in thier life that they cant control?! You cant control who you fall in love with. oh hey heres a little example I just thought of…yeah remember that time not to long ago when black people didnt have any rights because of their skin color? and skin color is an aspect in your life that you cannot control? isnt that a little like not giveing homosexuals thier rights because of something they cant control? WEll im done with my little rant. Sorry if parts in it didnt make scence or if my spelling and or grammer was bad. feel free to rip apart my argument. I would love to have someone argue with me. And im not just being a smartass. I really do want to hear another persons opinion. :)

  17. GAY ALL THE WAY!

    GOD MADE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE FOR A REASON GOD LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOUR SEXUAL CHOICE SO ALL YOU BIBLE HUGGERS WHO ARE AGINST GAY PEOPLE , GAY MARRIAGE, AND GAY RIGHTS CAN PISS OFF! GAY ALL THE WAY!

  18. this is sick! women are NOT proporty and gays are people too! And there is such thing as the gay gene, Homosexuality IS natural!!!!!

  19. Don’t listen to all the idiots with the bibles stuck up their asses, this article is hilarious and I love you so much right now.

  20. Constitution of America

    When it comes down to it, not giving gay people the right to marry obstructs both liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The way i see it, obstructing gay marriage goes against 2/3 of the most important parts of the constitution. The constitution of america’s legal system should stem from the American Constitution. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.
