Rubbing Our Noses In Heterosexuality


Recently we found the following arguments against equal marriage rights:

  1. Homosexual sex is not natural. Men and women are born with “fitting parts” that prove God intended for the male part to enter the female part.
  2. Gay rights activists are rubbing our noses in their sex lives.
  3. If gays are allowed to marry, heterosexual marriage will be less meaningful.
  4. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time which proves it is valid.
  5. Gay marriage should be decided by people not the courts.
  6. Gay marriage is not supported religion.
  7. God abhors gay sex.
  8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay or send a message that it is OK to be gay.
  9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy sexual behavior.
  10. Gay marriage will change/destroy the foundation of society.
A careful reading of the arguments leads to the conclusion that, in general, opponents of equal marriage rights reduce our relationships down to one single factor -- S-E-X.

They do not conceded that we have rich, full, multi-faceted lives together that are not so different from the lives of heterosexual couples.

We love, we live, we work. We have children and grandchildren. We pray, we play, we pay taxes, get sick and we die.

All we want is to have the legal rights and protections that will allow us to care for our family. Period.

Perhaps the best way to illustrate the absurdity of the arguments put forth by anti-equality opponents to turn the tables on them.

Imagine opening the social pages of your local newspaper to find this announcement:

John and Anne Richards Celebrate 50 F*cking Years with Family and Friends

At the Jamestown Inn on November 12 more than 100 friends and family joined John and Anne Richards in celebrating 50 f*cking years together.

Special guest was Anne’s father Henry Smith, who turned 100 years old last May. Henry and his late wife Joyce f*cked for over 60 years before she died in 1986.

Hosts were the couple’s three children and their f*ck partners, Mark (Loretta) Richards, Kelly (Alex) George and Katie (Brian) Gill.

John Richards and Anne Smith were united in legally sanctioned f*cking on November 9, 1957, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church where guests witnessed their vows to love, honor and f*ck from that day forward.

The couple retired 10 years ago and now enjoy traveling, playing golf, spending time with their children and grandchildren and -- of course -- f*cking as often as their health permits.

Imagine if all relationships were reduced to their sexual component. Not a pretty sight.

We're tired of having our noses rubbed in the legal rights of others while they are denied to us because a few powerful folks are sexually perverted and in dire need of therapy.
