I think most of the arguments against homosexual marriage are bunk. Procreation is not exactly a pressing problem in 2008. The fact is, people like myself who oppose homosexual marriage regard homosexuality as a disorder and we disagree with the movement of social opinion about homosexuality over the years from sin to disorder to acceptable to chic. I think the truth is, people who oppose homosexual marriage think it never should have been eliminated from it's official classification as a mental disorder back in 1973. That's the bottom line in all of this, whether anyone will admit it or not.
That's a pretty deep message.

Most people that oppose gay marriage support traditional marriage and don't want to see alternate messages accepted as "normal". Nothing in today's society is slowing down the acceptance of adultery (straight or gay) or alternative forms of "fantasies".

I wish the advocates of everything in the privacy of a bedroom (or closet, or whereever) should be okay would just, uh, keep it private.
