I agree that that would be destruction of marriage as well, but it’s too impractical to try to judge couples on a case by case basis. It’s very easy to look at a gay couple and know they can’t have children. I also realize it is popular in our generation. Popularity does not make it correct. Finally, with regards to the slippery slope argument, people made the same arguments you make now back in the 80s about gay marriage after sodomy laws were repealed. The slippery slope is a real thing.
And yes, I realize this is a fucking essay, but it gets me pissed off when liberals act all holier-than-thou on this issue. I’m looking at you hot piece.
A lot of the people who are arguing against gay marriage really aren’t doing it any justice. As hot piece said it’s not about the bible;this is not a theocracy. But there ARE valid arguments against gay marriage. The problem with gay marriage is that it’s hedonistic. It argues that marriage is about love (love equals love, etc) and not about the propagation of society through family/having children. Marriage is basically a government subsidy, so if we want to add another group to receive these benefits, they need to demonstrate why they deserve them. The gays have failed to do this.
Nobody (at least not me) is arguing that gay love is inherently less valid than straight love. Rather, the argument is that from the perspective of society as a whole, they offer nothing to merit receiving the benefits of marriage. Moreover, once you take a hedonistic view of marriage, where does it end? All the arguments defending gay marriage, for example, could just as easily be used to defend polygamists. Hey, why not? They love each other and that’s what marriage is about now, apparently.
The slippery slope “fallacy” is really no fallacy at all. We already see far-left groups continuing to push for the destruction of marriage. The ULTIMATE GOAL of those on the far left who support gay marriage is the destruction of the institution of marriage. As Masha Gessen said, and I quote:
It’s a no-brainer that (homosexual activists) should have the right to marry, but I also think equally that it’s a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist. …(F)ighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we are going to do with marriage when we get there — because we lie that the institution of marriage is not going to change, and that is a lie.
That tells you all you need to know about the long-game strategy at play.
“Only Judy Can Judge Me.” Fucking brilliant.

Thanks for the caption. I was pretty confused as to what was going on here until you helped clear it all up.
I see nothing wrong here.
Pearls I am really struggling to remember what your boobs looked like. I guess they weren’t very memorable.
Oh, she was black. I was really surprised when I saw this headline but now this is pretty much run-of-the-mill news.
Pearls I still would probably like to bone you, but this was tough to read.
I think you’re projecting.
Any woman who thinks she is worthy of peeing like a man should turn that tube around and pee in her own butt.
Ladies, I can assure you that this is not a good thing.

I know it turned out to be false, but ever since those P Diddy rumors she just hasn’t been the same.
Normally I say leave politics to the men but this was pretty good.
Just a small tip: don’t say “increase job creation”. It’s an oxymoron. Government can’t create jobs.
Cut spending, strong second amendment advocate, supports making English the national language…I could vote for this guy.

Eating disorders are hot. I love your daddy issues. Keep ’em coming.
