Remember that you had made the ridiculous statement that a "stable marriage" was good for children...
More accurately that marriage helps promote a stable environment for bringing up children. A widely held view, and hardly ridiculous.

...as if a gay couple pretending to be a normal married couple could by getting "married" provide that kind of stability.
Isn’t the stability supposed to be provided by the legal framework ? Which would apply equally.
quote:
That is an outrageous absurdity of a pretense, compared to which being aunts or uncles is far preferable IMO. I think it far better to be "aunts" and "uncles," or whatever title you prefer, rather than a gay couple pretending to be man and wife raising children as if they really were a family. It wouldn't help to be "honestly" gay either IMO. Just be two men or two women friends or uncles or aunts.
So again the only pretence is what you want. Sorry, but I really don’t see the relevance of shoving gays back into the closet.
quote:
The whole gay marriage thing is a complete farce, all for the purpose of playing to false pretenses. The whole LGBT thing is the same farce as a matter of fact. People wanting and pretending to be what they aren't to satisfy some weird need that came from who knows where
So we should give up on ideas of fairness and justice and go back to a society of bigotry and oppression because that’s the only thing you find sensible. Yuck.
Mindless bigotry is not at all rational.
