Just got this on a mailing list I am on and just had to share :D

Subject: Top 12 Reasons Homosexuals Shouldn't Marry

1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, aluminum beer cans, and birth control.

2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people can't legally get married because the world needs more children.

3. Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children-- since straight parents only raise straight children.

4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage is allowed. Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful, and fully represented that "sacred institution between man and woman," which we must protect.

5. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women remain property of the man, blacks aren't allowed to marry whites, and getting a divorce is illegal.

6. Gay marriage shouldn't be decided by people, but should be decided by the President because majority-elected politicians have always historically protected the rights of all minorities.

7. 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.

8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

9. 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.

10. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.

11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to things like cars, longer lifespans, or even interracial schools.

12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. For example, separate schools, restaurants, bathrooms, and drinking fountains for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages for gays and lesbians will.
