Ok, please give this a read. It is truth that needs to be known and I cannot understand why more people cannot see what is happening, but, whatever. Very much worth taking the time to read.

A rather one-sided piece don't you think?

Check out the glaring math error. And the stereotyping of gay couples. Who cares if two women who weigh 300 pounds are getting married? I didn't know one's appearance was such an affront to a sensible, "traditional" marriage.

Articles: Freaking the Straights on Gay Marriage
That completely lived down to my expectations of an American Stinker link. The guy seriously seems to think (using the word "think" in the broadest possible sense) that gays only want marriage equality in order to freak out those against it. The sad, scared, dull mind of a man who thinks his privileges are a law of nature.

Truth?
Yeah some people who read and believe these opinions are simply incapable of accepting the truth.

The article is flawed because it generalizes all gays to some ultimate combination of stereotypes. My guess is the author has little to no real world contact with gay couples. Most marriage equality supporters have real life experiences with gays that have helped guide their stance on the issue. The gays I know are in or are looking for loving, committed relationships. They are not promiscuous, flamboyant, cross-dressing, pda in your face gays of the authors imagination.

I disagree. I think you are generalizing regarding a very few gays that might want to get married. You are completely ignoring reality if you think the author is imagining all this.

I think the author has has one of his novels confused with real life. Or he's unable to distinguish the difference between them.

If I generalized heterosexuals based on their behavior on St Patricks Day or the behavior of 20-somethings at a dance club on a Saturday night, I would have a warped impression of heterosexuals.
