HIYA!!!

link to all my stuff: http://mikaela34.wikispaces.com/   = = =Haha so this a satirical piece that i found about gay marriage. Just an fyi, this is one giant joke, as the end says...= = = =10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Will Ruin Society= by Karen on June 30, 2006 in [|Humor]  Via [|Consistently Inconsistent]
 * 1) Being gay is **not** natural. Real Americans ™ always reject //unnatural// things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
 * 2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
 * 3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because //a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract//.
 * 4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are **still property**, blacks still can’t **marry whites**, and divorce is **still illegal**.
 * 5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be //destroyed//.
 * 6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.
 * 7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
 * 8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a //theocracy// like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only **one** religion in America.
 * 9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why //we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children//.
 * 10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could **never** adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
 * FYI:** I do not hate gay people nor do I support any attempts to legally discriminate against them. In other words, this post is pure snark aimed at the idiocy of the bigots who think that “CIVILIZATION ITSELF!!!!!” will end if gay people are afforded the same rights and privileges we straight people enjoy.
