In the face of overwhelming scientific evidence and just good old plain logic, the bigots and bashers always have to revert back to 2000 year old fairy tales and tradition.
In my home island, Puerto Rico, homophobia is rampant, but the United States does not fall behind that much.
The arguments from people who do not want gay marriage to happen are basically related to religion. Here, I believe, state and religion are separate entities, and the constitution's current definition of marriage as a reason to oppose gay marriage is overwhelmingly vague, since it can be amended, it is not static.
Now there is something that worries me about people's "violent" opposition to gay marriage. Some people react as of this was a murder of an innocent person. Some people dare to compare homosexuality to some paraphilias, like pedophilia and zoophilia. I have even read people that say gays should die! Just what the heck is going on with some people? What is all this fear about? If you are not gay, then you are not gay. It's just as simple as that. While seeing two men or two women kissing could result weird today because it is not the norm to see it everyday (well at least in many parts of the world, maybe SF and Europe are exceptions), why would that bother you?
I am not gay and I support full rights for the LBGT community. I am sure of what I am. Are you?
And do you have medical/scientific proof that one does not choose to be gay? Is homosexuality genetically linked? Is it inherited, like eye color?
How exactly does one person choose an attraction? I cant help that I am attracted to my own sex, and if youre heterosexual you cant help that youre attracted to the opposite sex.That should be your proof.
Fact of the matter is, there is not one single reason--none whatsoever--to oppose same sex marriage that doesn't arise from hatred, fear, ignorance, bigotry, or some combination of those things. None.
To preclude consensual adult couples from marrying based solely on their gender is the very definition of discrimination and bigotry.
I know right it's nasty, I can't stand to look at it
But anyway there really isn't any rational reason to oppose gay marriage.
