We get into some interesting debates at work. One time gay marriage came up. Most of my co-workers are very,very conservative. So I let them rant and rave about the sanctity of marriage and all that stuff.
Then turned around and brought up Britany Spears's 55 hour marriage as an example of how straight marriage is destroying the sanctity of marriage just fine without gay people.
For some reason they didn't like the counter-arguement. :)
I love that. I work with a guy who abhors gayness (for want of being able to think of a word) and anything relating to being gay. I must remember these arguments
(BTW, Counter arguments are wrong, you should never argue at a counter, you should stand on a soap box or sit with a beer. Also, what if the people in number 7 aren't obviously gay? ...Sorry, I'm in a good mood and had too much coffee and sugar today)

Thats pretty funny. The sugar crash should be spectacular. :)
::laughing:: Have fun arguing. And nah, counter arguments are fun, so long as they don't interfere with digestion.
Good luck with the sugar bounce. ::g:: As to #7, perhaps their kids won't be either, but what were you thinking of as 'obviously'? Flaming, swishing, or cuddling in public?
Oh I wasn't thinking of anything really, just got side tracked when my brain interpreted the sentance as meaning people who were obviously gay rather than just that gay people would obviously raise gay children. My brain immediately asked if people who were not obvious about being gay would therefore raise straight children.
::laughing:: oh, okay! I just wasn't sure what you meant. And why not? Straight parents raise gay and bi kids, gay and bi parents raise straight kids.... ::shrug::
My mother tried to tell me marriage was about procreation. My mother, who got remarried when I was 20 or so, which means she was... ::calculates:: 52. To a man who was 62. I told her that I loved her dearly, but if she really thought that (and she'd better not, since I don't plan to have kids and she knows it) what was she thinking when she remarried?

Counter-arguments. Useful things.
