Male parents will be “fathers” and female parents will both be “mothers”. It is not hard but I’ll say it slowly just in case … married men will refer to themselves … as “husbands”, and married women will refer to themselves … as “wives”. “Gay marriage will confuse the terms ‘husband’ and ‘wife’, or ‘mother and ‘father’.”Īnother form of the previous argument. I would ask them to stop focusing on my genitals, and start paying attention to my humanity.Ħ. It is the churches who are deeply confused about gender and sexuality. Perhaps it would help to reiterate that gay people are not confused about gender, they are just gay. The love and care homosexual couples routinely provide children are, it would seem, irrelevant. This hinges on the idea that gender roles are or should be fixed, as dictated by scripture, most often cited for the sake of healthy child development. “Gay marriage will confuse gender roles.” It also omits from history the married gay couples of ancient China and Rome, Mormon polygamy, and the ancient Egyptians who could marry their sisters.

It conveniently forgets the 48 countries where polygamy is still practised. This declaration ignores the legally married gay couples in Canada, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Belgium, Netherlands, and South Africa. “Marriage has always been a bond between one man and one woman.” Let us not forget matrimony existed long before Jehovah was even a word you weren’t allowed to say.Ĥ. The Office for National Statistics shows how civil, non-religious marriage made up 68 per cent of all marriages in the UK during 2010. The word “sacred” suggests marriage is a solely religious institution. If marriage was truly traditional, interracial couples would not be allowed to wed, one could marry a child, ceremonies would be arranged by parents to share familial wealth and the Church of England would still be under the authority of the Pope. Given that marriage has always changed to suit the culture of the time and place, I would refrain from ever calling it “traditional”.
STUPID ANTI GAY MEME CODE
Naturally if such a mafia existed I would be bound by a code of honour to deny its existence. It also implies a nefarious gay mafia that is out to wreck marriage for straight people. To imply that including same-sex couples within the definition of marriage will somehow be detrimental or even destructive for the institution is to suggest gay people must be inherently poisonous. The word “protect” implies that gay people are a threat to the institution of marriage. What follows is a handy guide to spotting, and refuting, these arguments Type A: The Insidiously Homophobic Arguments To the untrained ear these arguments sound like they may have grounding in reason, but on closer inspection reveal themselves as homophobic. In rallying against the introduction of equal marriage, religious campaigners have frequently stressed that their objections are not driven by homophobia, and have deployed numerous arguments to demonstrate this. Some have just not been exposed to the right arguments, and so I will demonstrate here that each anti-gay marriage argument ultimately serves to oppress or imply the lesser status of the minority of which I am a part. I do not believe all opponents of gay marriage are hateful. Furthermore, I have been told it is offensive to brand such remarks “bigoted”, and that I am the bully. I have even been told I am going to hell. I have been told I do not deserve equal rights. I have been told my natural urges are a choice.

In these arguments the love I have for my fiancé has been belittled as just “sex” or only “friendship”. I am a gay man who, when arguing for gay marriage, has been called “lesser”, “unnatural”, “deviant” and “sinful”.
