To be clear, I don't care about gay marriage.   Go for it.   But don't tell me it's not hurting anyone.   You don't know.   I don't know.  No one knows.

BL knows.  He said so.  Quite definitively.

He's a functional retard.   So there's that.

Well, this should be easy. Who is gay marriage harming?

You won't answer, of course, because the answer is, "no one."

Well, the title of the Matt Walsh blog post that you used to start this thread is "Yes, Gay Marriage Hurts Me Personally".

So there's one.

I'm guessing there's a whole shitload of others who feel the same way.

Do you want names and addresses?

No, but no one has ever said how they were harmed.

To be fair, Matt Walsh could write a lengthy article describing how blue the sky was and, in the end, you would say "He never said what color the sky was".  

Because you don't like to acknowledge any argument or opinion that differs from your agenda.

To be fair, he never said how he was harmed.

If you believe the "traditional" family unit, father/mother/child, is the best family unit, gay marriage is certainly hurting it.

If Bob and Ed get married in backwoods GA, adopt and send their kid to public school, I can pretty much guarantee that kid is going to get grief.   Is that "not hurting anybody"?

If someone believes that the traditional family unit is the best way to go then they by all means they should have a traditional family, but they don't need to force their beliefs on others.

And if the concern is kids making fun of other kids at school I suggest parents don't send fat, smelly, or ugly kids to school either.

I don't see how one can argue gay marriage is harmful to society so it should be prohibited

And then not argue the the same stance on the following:

Carbon Emissions are harmful to society so SUVs should be prohibited
Overpopulation is harmful to society so having too many kids should be prohibited
Single parents are harmful to society so divorce should be prohibited.


The best thing about the US is people can make choices (and one can only hope they are the right choices). I personally believe the traditional family unit is best for kids and I choose to have a traditional family. I think gay sex is appalling but to each their own. I also personally believe having extended family nearby is good for my kids so I stay in this god forsaken state of Illinois. My choice. That's what's nice about America - 'choice'. What society needs is a bit more 'tolerance'.

You mean "tolerance" like the Gay Pride rainbow flag is acceptable, but the Southern Dixie stars and bars isn't?

There should be the same tolerance regarding the Confederate Flag as there is the gay rainbow flag. The Confederate Flag is a symbol of southern pride for MOST southerners (and quite frankly it should be the decision of the people of South Carolina to determine if it flies or not). It's too bad it was taken down because of an intolerant vocal minority, many who have never even been to South Carolina. I also think there should be tolerance for Christian bakers that don't want to support gay weddings. Unfortunately there is a HUGE lack of tolerance these days and we all are going to pay for it when we realize our freedom of choice has been stripped away and all we are left with is political correctness.

As some noted earlier, we live in this thing called a "society".  

If I believe a traditional family is the only way to go, a non-traditional family is damaging to this society.    Now, whether or not I'm right is irrelevant.  I believe you and your non-traditional family is hurting my society.

And, right now, you cannot prove that it isn't.     Thus you cannot say, without question, that gay marriage "doesn't hurt anyone."

Gay Marriage doesn't hurt anyone.... Period. I can say it. In fact where is the evidence that it does hurt anyone? Wouldn't the burden be on YOU to PROVE its harmful based on how this 'society' is structured? I just sat through 2 weeks of jury duty and it was the plaintiffs job to PROVE harm was done, not the other way around.
