Re: hacked
Saying I am against gay marraige, is like saying I am against aliens.
You mean, you're saying that "gay marriage" is a complete unknown whose characteristics you're unable to imagine, and therefore cannot formulate a response to?
Why would you come to that conclusion? Not only can gay couples marry in almost every civilized country, but even in this country, gay couples are forming households with children in exactly the way that heterosexual couples marry and do.
When two men or two women are married, what do you think changes? Inheritance of property goes the same way, sponsorship of citizenship goes the same way, custodial obligations to children go the same way.
Everything goes the same way except for how many penises and vaginas and breasts show up when you invite them out to couples tennis. And what on Earth does that matter?

Doesn't make sense
So, what you're saying is that gay people shouldn't be allowed to form married families and raise children, because your straight parents completely failed at it?

Re: History
So then we should allow people to marry thier sisters?
What on Earth makes you think that people haven't been marrying their sisters for thousands of years? It's only in recent times that we've made this invalid; it's basically a kind of human eugenics.
Weren't Adam and Eve brother and sister? Twins, in fact?
Where does it end?
It ends where it is now; the right of adults to enter into binding agreements and partnerships with each other.
