why is it that gay marriage advocates are called weird,when hetero only marriage advocates say what they do?

Question

for example, the oft stated arguement that if u don't define marriage between one man and one woman, ppl will be marrying goats next?

Answer 1

I don't know --Gay marriage is legal here in Canada and the moral fabric of the universe still seems to be intact here. I'm gay and married ---and I have no desire to marry my goldfish.

Answer 2

What's being discused is still "TWO, CONCENTING, ADULT HUMAN BEINGS."

They used those meaningless arguments against allowing legal marriage between inter-racial couples as well and no one went off and married their '57 Chevy!

"Slippery Slope Fallacy (Camel's Nose)
there is an old saying about how if you allow a camel to poke his nose into the tent, soon the whole camel will follow.

The fallacy here is the assumption that something is wrong because it is right next to something that is wrong. Or, it is wrong because it could slide towards something that is wrong.

For example, "Allowing abortion in the first week of pregnancy would lead to allowing it in the ninth month." Or, "If we legalize marijuana, then more people will try heroin." Or, "If I make an exception for you then I'll have to make an exception for everyone."

Answer 3

My answer to them would be men & women can express their love for one another goats can't. If goats could express their love then gay marriage should be legal for them too. But only the idiots would compare the two

Answer 4

Ummm...I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but people are ALREADY marrying animals. I saw an interview with a man in Kentucky who had married his horse, and read in the newspaper about a woman in Atlanta who had married her dog.

Answer 5

Second, and even more importantly, homosexual unions are not wrong primarily because of their disproportionately high incidence of promiscuity (especially among males) and breakups (especially among females). They are wrong because “gay marriage” is a contradiction in terms. As with consensual adult incest and polyamory, considerations of commitment and fidelity factor only after certain structural prerequisites are met.
The vision of marriage found in the Jewish and Christian Scriptures is one of reuniting male and female into an integrated sexual whole. Marriage is not just about more intimacy and sharing one’s life with another in a lifelong partnership. It is about sexual merger—or, in Scripture’s understanding, re-merger—of essential maleness and femaleness.
By definition homosexual desire is sexual narcissism or sexual self-deception.... First, we can expect an eventual end to any structural prerequisites for a legitimate sexual relationship. The whole “gay marriage” debate is predicated on the assumption that affective bonds trump the structural argument from Scripture and nature for an other-sex prerequisite. What logical basis will remain for denying marriage to committed sexual unions comprised of three or more persons? In fact, the limitation of two persons in a sexual union at any one time is itself predicated on the idea that two sexes are necessary and sufficient for establishing a sexual whole. Once church and society reject a two-sexes prerequisite, there will be no logical ground for maintaining the sacredness of the number two in sexual relations."

Answer 6

I don't call them weird, I just disagree with what they believe.
I think they should have the civil unions, but not the marriage cuz that's a holy institution made by the Lord for a man and a woman, that's all. I mean, marriage is after all a ritual and a ceremony, nothing more, and that ritual/ceremony requires you to be a man and your partner a woman or viceversa.
