    Oh really:

    Simply because legalising one form of incest over another is not Constitutionally sound because of the gender/sexual orientation-based discrimination it would entail. You would have to legalise both or neither really.

    Allowing non-sexual closely related marriage confers upon marriage a whole new meaning and establishes the ultimate legal platform for incestuous relationships.

    Cool, what does Sweden have to do with SSM in the US? Nothing? That's what I thought.

    Gay couples have children. It's just a fact, regardless of the biological paternity of those children.

    Your denial of their existence does not change the facts.

    You requested a source and it was provided. We can see now you wanted a source for what you now allege means nothing. Sooo full of it.

    Silly, the #s are for new marriages. Not marriages already in existance. Revealing how youve misinterpreted the statistic in so many different ways.

    Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were smart enough to figure out that I was asking for something relevant to the subject. Swedish laws are not the topic of discussion. The U.S. is, if you have something relevant to the subject please speak up.

    Yes I realize my mistake now. I should have known that you had nothing relevant to the subject of American laws or statistics of SSM here in the US.

    That would be to on topic for you.

    They weren't marriages but domestic partnerships. I know gay people who won't get married untill its actually called marriage - take Civil Unions in RI... Only about 10 same-sex couples have had one since its been legalised. The vast majority won't settle for anything less than full equality.

    So if you insist on giving us Sweden's marriage rates as being relevant to the introduction of same sex marriage in the US, at least give us post-2009/SSM-introduction figures...

    Obviously, marriage between a man and a woman has had thousands of years to establish itself. Same-sex partnerships are new and you can't expect every same-sex couple to rush into it... We all know, afterall, how many heterosexuals do (Kim Kardashian, Sinaed O'Connor....)

    Appeal to popularity.

    So lets say for a moment that the majority feel that slavery is beneficial, do we allow it on the whim of the majority? Or lets say that a majority feel that inter-racial marriage is wrong (Mississippi), do we please their wishes as well?

    The argument fails a basic consistency test.

    1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

    2)Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

    3)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.

    4)Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

    5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

    6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

    7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

    8) 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.

    9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

    10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

    Cleverly points out blatant contradictions in logic.

    Especially about being around tall people.
    I am sure it was written by ignorant and uneducated judge.

    Homosexual behavior has been used throughout history in different cultures as a form of Birth control. Sambia tribe, when boys are about 10 yrs old they are taught to perform oral sex on the young, not yet married men, until they are older and better able to start a family. Soldier classes in some societies use the younger recruits as their sexual outlet, so they arent out and about impregnating women. Ive seen comments from LUGS, women in college, "Lesbian until graduation" favor lesbian relationships because of the absence of any potential for procreation.

    But no, nothing is going to stop procreation. Currtail it somewhat, but never stop.
