It's not a virus that's going to infect your kids. Same-sex marriage won't magically that guy's kids suddenly think their gender doesn't matter. They'll still grow up to be good parents because it sounds like they have a dad who cares about them. I don't see how same-sex marriage would factor in there in any way, shape or form.; 7/18/2008 3:50 PM

It doesn't make sense because the speaker avoids answering his own hypothetical question. He presents the question "How will my same-sex marriage hurt your marriage" and goes on the typical zealot rant of how it teaches children that gender doesn't matter (I'm still not sure what that even means). He somehow assumes that "marriage" automatically implies "family" and "children" and creates a straw-man argument. If he were honest, he'd have said no. Two men or two women getting married does not affect his relationship with his wife. Notice how I said wife, not children, because the question addresses marriage, not family.; 7/19/2008 7:22 PM
