I've lost track. It's ridiculous. Gay marriage is coming and all the foaming at the mouth isn't going to stop it.
They're here, they're *****, get used to it"

I do not see war on drugs as immoral.

Being homeless or addicted is not immoral. I would be ok seeing money used to cure homosexuals.

Gay sex / marriage is no more immoral than a Christian couple who engage in oral sex
Yes, it is.

Is it just me or hasn't anyone noticed there is no logical thought process in the OP's remarks?

If you support eating meat then you must eat horses and dogs. Just call it flawed logic (or absence of) and put this thread to bed.

Here are your exact words.
Quote:
Among homosexual men, sex with multiple partners is tolerated and often expected.
Hetero men are just as promiscuous when they're not married. It's tolerated and often expected.

It could,

I would be worried about the 20 year olds who get get wasted in Vegas, marry the person they met at the club and get divorce the next day. Legalize gay marriage, are we gonna start seeing gay's getting wasted and doing the same thing?

(hey at least i didnt quote the bible)

When will people realize that using a slippery slope argument just reveals that you have zero basis in reality for your actual argument?

If the "definition" of marriage changes from "one man and one woman" to "two consenting adults" then that takes care of this one specific issue and doesn't open "Pandora Box" on anything else.

If polygamists, pedophiles or anyone else that you fearfully compare homosexuals to want to try to get those things legalized they can try it, and since we are all rational thinking adults we can look at them on a case by case basis and make decisions based on each individual issue.

How would this destroy marriage if it's something already being done?

Really? Show me a study where married gays with children continue to jump from partner to partner. I'll wait.

The study was about gay men who live in steady relationships. The study discovered that on average such men had eight sex parners per year. With gays, casual sex with many partners is the norm, and even expected. This is NOT the case with married heterosexual men.

The most consistent data on infidelity come from the General Social Survey, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and based at the University of Chicago, which has used a national representative sample to track the opinions and social behaviors of Americans since 1972. The survey data show that in any given year, about 10 percent of married people — 12 percent of men and 7 percent of women — say they have had sex outside their marriage.

But detailed analysis of the data from 1991 to 2006, to be presented next month by Dr. Atkins at the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies conference in Orlando, show some surprising shifts. University of Washington researchers have found that the lifetime rate of infidelity for men over 60 increased to 28 percent in 2006, up from 20 percent in 1991. For women over 60, the increase is more striking: to 15 percent, up from 5 percent in 1991.

Adultery is on the rise among heterosexuals. This was the case even before many states passed SSM laws.
How exactly did the evil gays make more heterosexual cheat on their spouse?
