Yea it is pretty retarded. Hence why I am writing a paper arguing for it. I found this critique of an article I had to read.
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~bbelknap/mtppakaluk.html
I am going to base some of my points off of that.

Yea I'm moving along. The paper sounds really disorganized to me right now...but it is only a draft that is worth 10% of our final grade. The final paper itself is worth 50% of our grade.

Gay Marriage?
Please, allowing gays to get married will break up more relationships than the cabana boy review coming to town.
Can you imagine two gay men planning a wedding? I can hear my friend Steven right now "Girl, I left his ass. He wanted jovial grape napkins, and I wanted misty lavender. HELLO! jovial grape does not say 'Have a long and happy marriage'! It says 'Happy 8th birthday Sally May'!"
And Lesbians? Please. We'd fight over who gets to wear the Tux.
ok, ok... seriously though.
I think this law is unconstitutional. The government sees me as a citizen every two weeks when it takes me taxes... yet I don't get the same rights as everyone else? It's unfair. If you don't want me to get married by the state, fine, what the fuck ever. Give me a discount on my taxes then. If I don't get the full rights as an American Citizen, then I shouldn't have to pay as much.
And shut the fuck up already about the "sanctity" of marriage. Please. The sanctity of marriage was out the fucking window the second a drive-thru chapel was erected in Vegas. The divorce rate is 50%. There is no sanctity anymore. All we want is a tax cut and better credit.
Almost every major company recognizes same-gendered partners on their insurance and beneficiaries on the 401(k) and whatnot... and most companies now include sexual orientation in their anti-harassment policies.
Once enough of those old geezers up on capitol hill die off, I'm sure some type of same-sex union will be recognized by the gov. Probably won't be called a marriage, but it'll be some type of civil union, or what have you.
When I was in high school I wrote a pro-gay essay. This guy in my class wrote an anti-gay essay, and was a real dick to me.
Imagine my surprise when 6 years after graduating I pull up his myspace page to see him wearing nothing but a jock strap, fishnet panty hose, and sparkly body gel. Fucking fag.
Anyway, gay marriage, it's like beating a dead horse at this point. Just one of those things I guess.

I need to try that. The jitters I get from coffee usually make me relapse and start smoking cigs again.
I guess me getting this paper done outweighs the needing 1 cig thing.
I have 4.5 pages done. Goin to sleep for 5 hours, take a quiz, then write 2.5 pages. Fuckin' A.

The obvious counter-argument is that allowing gay marriage will lead to a slippery-slope of "marriages".
Of course we should respect the life choices of others, and their beliefs by allowing gay marriages.
But what about my beliefs on polygamy? Shouldn't I be allowed to have a "civil union" with 5 different women, and allow ALL of us to get tax breaks and benefits? What about marriage to minors? What about a civil union with an animal?
Where do you draw the line?

If I have to hear one more comparison of gay marriage to people getting married to dogs!
And why is it always dogs?
Why not a cat, llama, walrus, house fly or sea cucumber?
The bottom of slippery slopes are populated with pretty stoopid ideas.

It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison

Agreed, but that middle isn't. What about polygamy? A lot of cultures allow a man to have more tha one wife. Should we not allow civil union between a man and multiple wives simply because we disagree with that view? blasphemy! That would be like banning gay marriage simply because we disagree with the concept.

The slippery slope argument has never been a valid one and is a fallacy in classic debate.
