How I know being gay is normal and you’re a jerkass and a bigot for thinking ANYTHING otherwise.
Wait I’m not a bigot:
You see nothing wrong with gay people, you just don’t want them getting married, teaching your children, going to your church, eating by you in public, or in any way showing that they exist. Sorry sir, but words have meanings…you’re a bigot.
Ok but the Bible says it’s wrong:
Even worshiping the Devil is not illegal. I’m not an expert…but I think the Bible is against that too. Also not to be harsh on the good book, but it’s track record isn’t exactly squeaky clean. There are a lot of ideals in there written by humans and interpreted by humans and then taught to other humans…humans aren’t robots, things get mixed up. Not to mention that it doesn’t specifically say anything about marriage being between one man and one woman. In fact Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon and the kings of Judah and Israel—all of these fathers and heroes were polygamists. There is Leviticus which specifically calls man on man action “an abomination” but if you were to read the rest of Leviticus you might find it’s advice on most matters quite antiquated. It talks about treatment for leprosy, cleanliness rituals for menstruating women…by sacrificing goats, lambs and turtle doves. Also it tells you the way to get the best deal on buying a slave. I'm all for getting a deal, don't get me wrong, but I think almost everyone agrees slavery is wrong…the Bible though not so much. So while the Bible may have a lot of great ideals and morals and stories, there’s no way you should be trying to live your life exactly by a 2,000 year old book. Of course again, this is America. We may still trust in god, but last I checked we kind of built ourselves on religious freedoms.
Clearly it’s a choice:
Anyone who says this is a closet homesexual…period. If you think we chose to be gay then that must mean you chose to be straight, which means you feel the same way about men as I do, it’s just that you CHOSE to date women. Sorry bud, but that makes you gay. You like penis, but you’re a coward, and you chose vagina. You want to live your life as a lie? Go for it. But don’t get mad that I don’t want to do that anymore. I guess I could date girls, live a loveless life, treat her like crap, and eventually end up cheating on her with some dude in a bathroom stall because I’m so desperate for the feeling of love I’ll stoop to any level to receive just a fraction of it. It’s clearly not a choice and if it was, nobody would CHOOSE to be gay. Being gay is hard and in fact a lot of gays TRY to not be gay. I did. I tried dating girls for years and it did nothing for me. I had zero man on man contact for 28 years and I was STILL gay. I can’t say it enough. Nobody chooses to be gay, some gays chose to act straight, but no straight man has ever in the history of the world chose to be gay. You’re a real asshole if you want people to live loveless lives just so that you don’t have to feel weird about two dudes kissing.
Marriage is for a man and a woman, and anything else diminishes it’s importance:
This is the worst argument yet. That somehow marriage is such an esteemed union that two men or two women getting married ruins the value of everyone else’s marriage. Never mind the fact that people on death row can get married. That’s right. I can go around killing and raping babies and if I can find a woman to marry me there is nobody that can stop me. But if I want to marry a man that I’m in love with and been with for years...well that sir is a mockery of marriage. PUH-LEASE…Don’t 50% of marriages end in divorce anyway? I wonder how many of those are gay men and women becoming fed up with acting straight? Do I think a church should have the ability to deny homosexual marriages? Yup, I do. That is their right to do their religion however they want. But does the government have that right? HELL NO! Oh wait, may be we can call it “civil unions” and everything will be fine. That’s the biggest bunch of bullshit I’ve ever heard. What if we had told black people that their marriages had to be called civil unions? How do you think that would go? ANY difference in treatment of homosexuals is outright bigotry.
We can’t afford it:
I hadn’t heard this argument until a few weeks ago and it literally blew my mind. I don’t remember her name and really I don’t care to know her name but there was a woman running for senate or for the house in Wisconsin and she said something along the lines of, “I have nothing against gay people, our state is in a deficit right now and we just can’t afford to be giving out social security to all these new couples.” Really now?!!? Uh….taxation without representation anyone? How on earth can anyone think that it’s ok to say to someone, “We are going to take your money, use it for straight people who are married, deny you those rights, and then tell you it’s too bad.” It boggles my mind the things of which people are able to convince themselves. Also if your arguement is we literally can't afford to give gays equal marriage rights just think of all the money you'd save if you took away the rights from the hetero couples and gave them to the gays...waaaaaaay less gay marriages is all I'm sayin! Shouldn't be a problem right? I mean...it's just fiscally responsible....has nothing to do with anything else.
Don’t ask don’t tell protects gays:
How do you expect a man who can’t even be free to be himself to serve his country? He’s out there DIEING for you! So you can drive your SUV to soccer practice and pick up your kids. Are our men and women in the armed forces so out of control that if they find out their friend is gay they are going to go crazy and beat the crap out of them? Really? How is it that you can convince a man to go out In the world and risk his life for a few dollars, but you don’t think you can discipline him to not be a jerkass towards his homosexual squadmates? We allow women to serve right? So why not homosexuals again? You have made an environment in which homosexuals are rooted out and discharged and you are so afraid of what might happen if you fix it that you let the problem continue. Last I heard there wasn't exactly the worlds biggest line to get into the military, I'd assume you'd want ever able bodied mind that can contribute to join. Or maybe you're afraid Osama Bin Laden will make fun of you? I think he's against gay marriage as well.
The truth is that you being a bigot is creating problems. Normally I don’t give a flying fuck about bigots. If you hate black people, white people, Asians, women or whatever…I don’t care. The reason? Because everyone knows it’s wrong already. Everyone knows it would be wrong to tell a black person they couldn’t get married. Everyone knows it’s wrong to tell a Jewish man he couldn’t serve in the military. Sure there are people who believe all these things, but they are bigots and they are fine with it and they are crazy and nobody pays them much attention. But when it comes to homosexuals bigots get a free pass. A man can stand there and say something about homosexuals and there are too many damn people who don’t give a crap. But you should. Even if you aren’t homosexual, you should care and here is why.
You denying the rights of an entire segment of the population is causing problems and it’s going to effect you. Since going out and meeting people I have to say on a whole that gay men and women have much lower self esteem than straight men and women. It’s amazing seeing gay men going through the same transformation that women went through. NOT because gay men are girls, but because it is the natural reaction to being told
you’re not good enough. In the 50s when you were a young lass growing up and someone was telling you not to stress out your pretty little brain with numbers and thinking, you grew up thinking you weren’t as good as men. The effects of that are still seen today. Women still see a need to convince themselves that they are worth a life by being pretty, and the same thing is happening in the gay community. And you can say until your tongue bleeds that you have no problem with gay people, but if at the same time you are for DADT, against gay marriage, and really anything pro-homsexual, then YOU DO have a problem with gay people. And they sense it and they start to believe it…even if they don’t know they believe it. And this causes problems for them throughout every aspect of their life. Having low self esteem effects their relationships with mates, friends, and their duties in the work place. There is an entire segment of people in this country that are underachieving and you are denying yourself the opportunity to experience what they could come up with. Homosexuals are not weaker, dumber, slower, or in any way less compared to heterosexuals. They could be the next great writer, scientist, inventor, teacher…but you’ll never know if you keep them oppressed. I’m not saying gay men don’t need a back bone growing up. I’m not asking you to coddle them, tell them they are special and whatever bull extreme flower loving liberals come up with. I’m not for “competitions” where everyone wins. I don’t think we need to take 5 minutes out of the school day to hug your neighbor…I just want to be equal so that I can finally tell you how much better I am than you.
Not only that…but they/we will fight back. It’s only a matter of time before one homosexual goes off the deep end and does something crazy. And gay men are still men…even the flaming ones are still men. I promise you that getting punched by a man wearing a dress and glittered lipstick still hurts just as much as if he were wearing pants and a baseball jersey.
