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.
