There is no rational argument against it.
There is no rational argument for SSM. Marriage is just regulations imposed on people who might seek monogamous sexual reproduction. Couples do not need to be married to express love or to be happy or to be sexually gratified.
Lack of marriage privileges for same-sex couples is a calamity because marriage also grants special socio-economic privileges. If you look at the income data, the only family demographic that earns more than median household income is dual income married couples. The current system screws all unmarried people to protect the sanctity of "traditional" single-income married households.
I'm empathetic to the plight of gay couples, but SSM does not fix the problem nor does it represent civil rights victory. It is a silly politically-indulgent skirmish for small-minded people who are eager to avoid dealing with our real problems.
That's a very cute thing for you to say. And I mean that with all due respect. Sure, to you it might not be a "real problem", but to people like TDAS I imagine it's a heck of a "problem". But I guess that's the thing though, and what is wrong with a lot of people in this country really. As long as it's not affecting you, who gives a sh*t, am I right?
I'm trying to remain calm here, but I really can't believe I just can't believe that last sentence I read. I mean really, I actually it's more insulting to the millions of gay Americans and their allies who have been fighting this cause for decades to have their movement demoted down to a "silly politically-indulgent skirmish for small-minded people" more so than people who claim it's a sin. In the latter case, at least those opponents recognize it's a legitimate issue that has a profound effect on American society.
If you want to say you are against gay marriage because you don't like it, just come right out and say it. Don't hide behind this legalistic tax code bullsh*t. I'm not buying it, TDAS is not buying it, and neither is nobody else in this thread.
