The Gay Marriage Threat

I've been thinking a lot about gay marriage lately - I don't know why, it just popped into my head.  So I was reading up on just how dangerous the prospect of gay marriage is.  I mean, I'm aware of the homosexual agenda and their plan to convert me and everyone else I know, but until I read this article by Glenn T. Stanton at Family.org, I didn't realize how much of a danger gay marriage poses to my (future) family.  From the FAQ:

Q: But how does someone’s homosexual “marriage” threaten everyone else’s families?

A: Gay activists are not asking for just one homosexual marriage, even though they often personalize it by saying, “Don’t you interfere with my family and I won’t interfere with yours.” What the activists want is a new national policy saying that no longer is a mom and a dad any better than two moms or two dads. That policy would turn some very important principles upside down:

Marriage would become merely an emotional relationship that is flexible enough to include any grouping of loving adults. If it is fair for two men or two women to marry, why not three, or five, or 17? The terms “husband” and “wife” would become merely words with no meaning.

A compelling argument indeed.  The slope is so slippery it's like a drunk seacaptain crashed an oil tanker onto it.  Letting two men marry truly would be like allowing 17 people to marry.  I see no difference.

Parenthood would consist of any number of emotionally attached people who care for kids. “Mother” and “father” would become only words.

That truly would be fucked up if anyone other than the biological mother or father emotionally cared for children.  And as always, the most compelling argument is the semantic argument.  We can't let gay marriage happen or else your mom and dad will turn into words.  And you don't want that.  You can't hug a word, or borrow its car keys.  A word isn't going to pay your college tuition.

Gender would become nothing. The same-sex proposition cannot tolerate the idea that any real, deep and necessary differences exist between the sexes. It must rest on a “Mister Potato Head theory” of gender difference (same core, just interchangeable body parts). If real differences did exist, then men would need women and women would need men. Our children would learn that sexual differences are like mere personality types. Wait until your kids start bringing those papers home from school.

If these gay activists are relying a the Mr. Potato Head theory, then clearly they're grasping at straws.  Everyone knows that the Mr. Potato Head theory is the most untenable of all theories.  I mean, it's named after a child's toy for god's sake.  And not even a cool toy like Optimus Prime, Storm Shadow, or Voltron.  Besides, imagine a world where genders were considered equal.  Men would be doing laundry and women would be mowing lawns.  The very concept of gender stereotypes would implode.  That would be frightening.

But it doesn't stop there.  Gay marriage poses an even greater threat, not just to our families, but to the entire world.  After months of research, and using infallible reasoning skills that I've learned from James Dobson, I have concluded that gay marriage is causing global warming.  Think about it: scientists have observed that average global temperatures have been rising throughout the last century.  What else has risen over the last century?  The number of gay marriages.  The chart says it all:

Granted, I've provided no scale on the axes, and I have little or no statistical data to back it up.  But consider this: same sex unions have been legal in Sweden since 1987.  Sweden is close to the Arctic.  There's a hole in the ozone layer where?  Over the Arctic.  See what I mean?  I'm not sure how or why, but homosexuals are destroying the environment with marriage.  I, for one, will not sit idly by and let this happen.  So remember:

See, if they'd named the theory after the transformers, I would've bought it entirely. They continue to misread their audience. So sad.

So I guess, because my office is always freezing cold, we don't have any of THE GAY here.

Praise Jeebus!

(In other news, I love it when you go graphic on us.)

Brilliant post. I was unaware of the Mr. Potato Head theory until you brought it to my attention, and now it all makes sense. I now have to shelve my adherence to the slinky-dog theory.

i like how he had to clarify that "gay activists are not asking for just one homosexual marriage." you see, i always thought this whole gay marriage thing was just two guys who wanted to get married, and i've always figured, "hey, what's the harm in that?" but now that i know that ALL the gays want marriage, well color me scared.

Well as a gay man, I will say that I plan on single handedly destroying all y'alls marriages.

The fact remains that regardless of whether gay marriage is LEGAL, it's still going to happen. I attended the wedding of two of my really good gay friends the other weekend and though it isn't legal, they still intend to have a life together. So how does making it legal change the idea of marriage if it's going to happen regardless.

And for people who "have gay friends" but still don't think they should be able to get married...or as Margaret Cho says, those people who laugh at Will & Grace and watch it every week but think that gay people shouldn't have the same rights as straight people...FUCK YOU. You can't be gay friendly and think that somehow gay people have any less of a legal standing than you do in this country.

I just wish people would be honest about why they are against gay marriage...because they think gay people are gross. End of story. Call a spade a spade. Don't jerk me around with that BS excuse about it hurts the family. Screw your family. I am not living my life to make sure your kids aren't total fuck ups when you're done raising them. I'd rather my kids know that its okay for people to love and care about each other rather than to think its okay to condemn people for trying to be in monogamous and healthy relationships simply because they are gay. Experience shows to me that kids raised in a bigoted environment are totes ugly and fat....and real assholes. Who wants that?

Clearly, those people are against gay marriage because they don't want children with fabulous parents who will make them look like schmucks.

Wait wait wait. RCR, are you truly against gay marriage? And KATHRYN, are you against gay people too?

Can I be reading this right?

It is hard to argue with nature, and potatoes.

It's impossible for gay marriage to be causing global warming, because the decrease in pirates is already causing it. Maybe pirates were gay all along, and decided to stop being pirates and get married instead? That way your theory doesn't contradict the church of the flying spaghetti monster.

And this is why I love reading your blog. Brilliant!

Who knew Mr. Dobson and all the other ultra-religious conservative fucks had such imaginations? Wow...I'm impressed.

Booyah - yes, this post was very FSM inspired. I love mocking conservatives.

Does Al Gore cover this in his movie?

Nobody bothered to point out that the hole is over the Antartic.

Your theory is officially debunked.

Oh, come on. Don't you think you took this just a little too far beyond the realm of believable? Men doing laundry?!? ...Puh-lease.
