Great Global Kiss-in
Monday marks the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia… and what better way to mark it that with a worldwide kiss-in running in different places around the world from May 14-17. Most of the Australian ones are today to coincide with the Equal Marriage rallies, which will be ongoing I’m sure in the lead up to the federal election…
Pucker up!
Ten Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong
(Blatantly stolen from comment #31)
1) Being gay is not natural
- And real people always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, hearing aids, polyester, and air conditioning, tattoos, piercings and silicon breasts
2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay
- In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall, or hanging around black people will make you black.
3) Legalising gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behaviour.
- People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Lamps are next. Who knows, Mormons might want to have multiple spouses. What’s that? They already do?
4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’ t changed at all
- Hence why 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
- And we can’t let the sanctity of Britney Spears’ 55- hour just- for- fun marriage be destroyed
6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children
- So therefore, gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our population isn’t out of control, our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.
7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children,
- Since, of course, 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 Australia.
(Did I miss the lesson where Jesus says He hates gays? )
9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home.
- Which is exactly 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, multiculturalism, social welfare or longer life spans.
The ACT passed its civil unions legislation again, which will probably be struck down by the feds. Again. And we’ll pass it similarly again. And you know we’ll keep it up. Gotta keep fighting.
Married and grey
Or married and gay. My sim just proposed at the rip old age of 87 days to a hot little number (also greying) named Fatima, who has now moved in and taken on her surname….
She has also become a bit of an artiste in her old age, as the garden failed…
I still aim to have her die tonight, as she doesn’t seem to go. Maybe they can adopt a bub before then? Let’s see how equal-opp the Sims really are! :D
(no wonder she gets a lot. look at that limo!)
