You are for married people raising kids
you are for same-sex married couples raising kids

Now, you say it is unnatural for gays to marry. Actually, marriage is what is unnatural, it is a man made concept. Homosexuality is not a man made concept as several species display homosexuality. No animals other then Humans understand the concept of marriage, no other animals practice marriage.

Do I need to show you proof that homosexuality isn't unnatural? Do I need to show you the states that allow same-sex marriage?
Alright, I'm calling your bluff on that one.

the true evil here are those that wish to demonize a sect of people based on their antiquated beliefs as told to them by their antiquated religious beliefs.
You do realize that nature just like mankind has plenty of problems so using nature as a measuring stick would be a strawman.

Evil is when good people do nothing and let bad people run with anything they want.

What bluff?

It's natural as it is seen in several species and not just in humanity.

1,500 animal species practice homosexuality

Adjective: Contrary to the ordinary course of nature; abnormal.
Not existing in nature; artificial.

nat·u·ral/
Adjective: Existing in or caused by nature; not made or caused by humankind.


Marriage is a man made concept. No animals perform marriages aside from humans. Monogamy is something that happens in other species, some of these monogamous relationships are homosexual relationships.

But, the actual concept of marriage is man made this means that it not caused by nature. It's like the use of computers, computers are man made and not natural.

I think this is an appropriate place as any for Ms. Betty Bowers to AGAIN help explain marriage in Biblical terms:

marriage reflects nature's work - ie: the production of children.

this is why we have it.

marriage helps the natural family unit stay together.

so in the case of the s.s scenario, it is not necessary.

Having children isn't a requirement for marriage. There are tons of married couples who choose not to have them.
