2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3) 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.
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 would be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney 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) 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.
One of the saddest parts about our society is that these arguments, before the humorous common sense, are the real reasons why people can’t accept gay marriages. Serious discussion, why do most consider gay marriage wrong on such ignorant claims? __________________

Well, it serves no point for reproduction... However, with a population of almost 7,000,000,000 people it’s not like the race is going to die out any time soon.
Love is love, no matter what color you paint it. __________________

I agree. On both points.
Although I see marriage as pointless because if you really need a ring and a ceremony to prove your love for someone do you really love them at all? __________________

Marriage in general is a symbol. Saying you’ll stay with a partner forever is simply that, saying it. Marriage is more like the proof that you were serious when you said it. Or at least, that’s part of how I view it. I want to get married, I think it’s a great and sacred thing. __________________

If your mind isn’t in showing off, then yes.
Actually, marriage is practical for reproduction, because reproduction and social growth in the family setting puts financial burdens on a family. Marriage removes some financial burdens through potential income-doubling and tax breaks, as well as gifts from friends and such, but that may or may not happen.
The only bad thing that could result from a homosexual takeover is that reproduction would halt and the human race would die off. However, I doubt that will happen. __________________

I would only do it if my partner insisted, but unless forced I have no intention of settling down hehe. But I am dissillusioned from the perfect marriage sham by divorce rates and tests on hapiness a certain number of years after the union. __________________

Slippery Slope... We have a huge amount of children in orphanages and also we have IFV (or whatever the abbreviation is). I don’t think we are going to die off.
I mean hell, animals have homosexuality. And not everyone will become gay (which would be the only way we would die off) because it is not a choice.
Whoops. I said the magic word. __________________
