re: #424 CuriousLurker

I had the same argument with an American Muslim friend. She kept insisting it was a religious issue (despite the 1st Amendment). When I asked her “Okay, then which religion’s marriage rules are gonna apply, and who’s going to decide which one religion gets picked?” she gave up and agreed it couldn’t be a religious issue here in the U.S. Having admitted that she then (grudgingly) agreed that SSM shouldn’t be legally prohibited. She made sure I knew she didn’t like ti though.

Heh.

I’ve always said, if someone doesn’t approve of SSM, then for heaven’s sake, don’t marry someone of your own gender, and you’ll be able to sleep with a clear conscience. In the meantime, if Steve and Jim, or alternatively, Carol and Susan decide they want to take the plunge and join together in wedded bliss, it’s no one else’s damned business what they do.

I find it particularly amusing that the same people opposed to SSM are so often fixated on same-sex intercourse; they’re exceptionally knowledgeable on what goes on behind closed doors. I’ve concluded they’re watching a hell of a lot of gay/lesbian porn.

For research, of course. //
