 There’s a good reason marriage is a hetero thing.

What with New York legislating same-sex marriage, and Labor state conferences toppling like dominos, it appears that same-sex marriage activists have adopted a new tack: “momentum rhetoric”.

I just read this and couldn't believe the idiocy.

The comments are a mixture between awesome and head-banging.

Not quite: there are other consequences too. Massive tidal disruptions ensue around the globe. Thousands are washed away. Homes are ruined. All to be expected when you tinker with the moon.

See, the moon may well have formidable romance-enhancing capabilities, but it also performs a whole lot of other far more important functions. Meddle with it to enhance romance, and everything else gets out of whack.

What is he even trying to say here, that if same-sex marriage is legalised it'll cause tidal waves and wash thousands of people away?

I'm astounded at how ridiculous this whole thing is.

I just love how he says that as if it's never ever occured to anyone before him. I mean, I feel like I've ran the various counter-arguments (infertile people, adoption, yadayada) a million and a half times.

Also, the moon thing is up there in my top ten of most nonsensical and far-fetched analogies.

Wow, that's a fuck of a lot of dancing around the issue that this guy's a fucking homophobe.

What a weasel. Though weasels might be offended by the comparison.

So he's trying to sew a bunch of high sounding verbage around his basic premise which, in the words of the old margarine commercial, seems to be "It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature." Ability to use sine qua non not withstanding, he goes right back to that smelly old turd about marriage and procreation being the basis for why marriage is only for straights. It's not about civil rights, you silly people, it's about "founding a family." It's for baby making, see? And only male/female marriages can make them baaabies.

La la la. Old people getting married. Infertile people getting married. Willfully childless people getting married. Gay families with children.

Aaaand the argument goes "flush" as all old turds must.

Not to mention that procreation works just fine without marriage.
