Do tell, what is this valid reason?
How is gay marriage affecting you in any way?

So you, or your bible, say so.
Gee, that’s sure a valid reason.

Insurt your list here more reasons to allow it.
Personally I really have nothing to say about polygamy. I do not know enough about it to really have an opinion.

It seems to me that civil authorities should perform civil unions, whether straight or gay. Religious institution should be allowed to perform marriages for those who fit the criteria of that religious organization. If the Southern Baptists don't want to marry gays or people who dance, that should be their privilege. If the Episcopalians endorse gay marriage, then they should be able to perform them.

You presented me with a myth vs. fact sheet...so the "facts" in support of gay marriage are nothing more than rebuttals? I didn't see any valid points there at all.
And what "facts" can you provide to the contrary? No, I'm not talking about religiously influenced, straw man arguments about how gay marriage would undermine heterosexual marriage.

I see nothing valid with the arguments you have proposed against gay marriage.

Who cares about gay marriages?

If they want to get married, let them. I mean, seriously. Stopping them from getting married, is not going to stop them from being together.

It's almost as if you don't want it to exist, yet, you are keeping them in your hair by restricting marriage to only straight. You give them what they want, and they'll shut up and leave the world alone.

It's like that ghetto lady who had 6 kids in the past 5 years. She wants her welfare money. You'd need to listen to her trap running till you give her the food stamps.

What is the point of gay marriage? I personally am gay and could careless whether i can marry or not. If a majority of America does not want it im not going to push it. Her for all they gays that would like to marry and have the government accept it here are the countries to move to.

Gay Marriage Rights: Where is Gay Marriage Legal?

To answer you second part it does not affect me. Either does polygamy or bestiality. I also do not here an uproar of people doing God knows what with animals. So if we legalize gay marriage where does it stop? Why deny someone the right to marry a tree? An animal? Multiply people? Gay people are not the only people discriminated against when it comes to marriage.

Except that after 5 years she can't receive "welfare" any more.

For a frustrated gay person, the fact that you equate other gay humans to those who practice bestiality or would marry a tree indicates that you have no idea about your own sexuality or reality.

First of all, had you read this thread, these issues have been discussed and dismissed as frivolous and a way to detract from the issue in the OP; secondly, your fear and hatred show more about how you feel about yourself than others.
