Last night I was having dinner with my best friend and my brother when the topic of gay marriage came up. I, being a libertarian and advocate of freedom for all people, argued on the side of gay marriage, and my brother and friend were on the opposite side. Because we love humor here on the Paintball Corner, im gunna just mention a few of the arguements these bigots came up with. Get ready to laugh.
1. "I have the same rights as gay people do, because I cannot marry a man either"
2. "If 2 gay people get married, they have a much higher possibility to adopt a child, and raise it in a bad home causeing their social akwardness."
3. "It would corrupt society as we know it, and destroy the moral groundwork of the nation"
4. "If we let 2 men get married, next thing we know, people will be marrying their horses"
5. "If we allow gay marriage, how can we continue to pursecute arabs who cannot be polygamists in this country, and also mormons."
Ok, now that your good laugh is over, its time for me to reinact my destruction of their points.
1. Yes you cannot marry a man either collin, but you can marry a woman whereas a woman cannot.
2. Plenty of man-woman households end up destroying their childrens lives, therefore any arguement saying a gays household would be worse is absolutely ludacris, and would be roughly the same percentage of man-woman households.
3. How can allowing more freedom to individuals make our country morally bankrupt, its not your lifestyle, you dont have to have a gay marriage, you enjoy your freedom, why cant they? Our country began on the cornerstone of liberty, therefore more liberty would only make this society better.
4. This point is absolutely disgusting and is made by almost everyone who is anti-gay marriage, and i wouldnt respond normally to idiocy but i will so you know what to say if anyone ever says it to you. Its legal for people to get a marriage lisence, not animals. end of story.
5. 1 marriage, 1 lisence, this isnt pursecution, this is the law for heterosexuals, and it skips over gays. Sorry, goes right along with the point in #4.
Yes this argument was real, and yes, they were forced to run home crying. It isnt real fair taht i was given such an easy arguement, because everyone knows that there is NO intellectual arguement supporting anti-gay marriage. Thank god they didnt say "The bible says...." or i would have had to kill them hahaha.

Hey, just read your article, want to say thank you. As an Iraqi Freedom Vet who served a nine and a half month tour in Fallujah, the one freedom I hope to have in the near future is to legally marry my fiance. I am new to the sport of paintball but so far everyone I have met is very accepting in the semi-pro world. For once I feel like I can be in a sport, that requires teamwork, and not have to hide who I am, and the person that makes all the scars I carry with me wash away, my love Andy. Thank you so much and your article did not go unnoticed from this soldier.
