Um... there are plenty of animals that are gay. Perhaps you should actually do a little research before you say stupid shit?

Ugh... this argument has been recycled again and again and again and AGAIN. It was lame back then and it's still lame now. Marrying animals just isn't going to happen, as VERY few people even have that desire :P

I agree with you. Im a Christian and I respect gays and their rights but <flimsily supported condemnation>
In other words, you don't respect gays and their rights.

If I received a penny each time a fundie said this I would be fabulously wealthy.
Before of trying to prove you're not a bigot by saying bigotted things, think before speaking!

Bonobos (a type of chimpanzee) are well known for their same-sex relationships (yes, spartan117, including sexual activities). I believe dolphins are known to have them, and...GASP!...there are even animals who have sex with themselves and even procreate doing so!!
As far as marrying an animal goes, aside from the age requirement (do sheep live to be 18?), there is the consent issue. What makes you think any self-respecting animal would want to pollute its bloodlines by marrying and producing children with one of us screwed up humans?
I keep hearing all this balderdash about gay marriage threatens the institution of marriage, but so far nobody has bothered to present a cogent argument as to how that would work. Seems to me that it would strengthen the institution, the more people who wanted to enter into it.
You do know, don't you, that the same arguments were put forth as a reason for the miscegenation laws. Just a new twist on the old bigotry. (PS...gay marriage is legal here in South Africa and it hasn't collapsed the institution of marriage yet.)

Im a Christian and I respect gays and their rights...
Good, good...
...but Im against gay marriage.
So close. So very close.
Like Meaty said people can do anything they want now then.....and at this rate people might soon go off and marry animals.
Sure...as soon as you can find an animal smart enough to sign a legally binding contract.
You dont see animals being gay do you?

The natural way is with a man and a woman. (Its how God designed it.)
A man and *A* woman you say? Might wanna read your Bible again...God intended it to be a man and his harem, essentially.

"I agree with you. Im a Christian and I respect gays and their rights but Im against gay marriage."
Isn't this akin to a slave owner saying, "I respect slave's rights but I'm against them having freedom"? You cannot respect someone's rights and then deny even one right to them.
"Like Meaty said people can do anything they want now then.....and at this rate people might soon go off and marry animals."
Weeee! I love slippery slopes!
"You dont see animals being gay do you?"
Actually, you do. Quite a number of species in fact. More than 300 documented cases as far as I'm aware.
"The natural way is with a man and a woman. (Its how God designed it.)"
Assuming your god exists and actually "designed" it, then that leaves two possibilities: either everything is working as your god intended and you've just misinterpreted how it's supposed to work or your god fucked up mightily. Judging from the rest of the Bible and how poorly thought out it seems to be--you know, your god having to flood an entire planet after he judged it "good"--I'd have to say I'll go with the second option.

Ok Spartan, I tell you what; if we promise- and I mean a super-special, hand on heart, hope-to-die puh-romise- that we'll never legalise zoophiliac marriage, will you vote to let gays marry?
See, this actually works out in your favour, because gay marriage will ultimately become legal whether you like it or not. But with this deal, we evil secularists will be honour-bound to keep zoophilia illegal, which is what we're going to tackle after we've made all your children gay.
Isn't it everybody?

So because we let Gay people (they are not "Gays") drive, that means my dog can drive? or I can let my 5 year old drive?
And isn't there a gay pair of penguins at the New York Zoo, even though they have lots of females around. There's been lesbian seagulls.
And what about all the ungulates that live in all female herds, only letting males come around when their ready to breed.

Yes... because an animal can sign a marriage contract and give consent... (sarcasm)
This is as a dumb as people who say accepting homosexuality will lead to acceptance of pedophilia.

Er... Why is it when people bring up gay marraige, fundies bring up bestiality?
I mean WHAT THE HELL!
The natural way is "cloning" via mitotic division. Majority of life on earth uses that trick.
As for "Gay Marriage"... Gay people have been "getting Married" for decades. They made their own ceremonies up and so on. The new law just means gay people's marriages will change from a vow to a legal binding contract.
You cannot complain about the sanctity of marriage when you can be married by a man dressed as The King...

The same arguments were made against interracial marriage. So why can't I marry my pet cat by now?!

Haven't you seen Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Sanctuary?
I know that my sister's poodle humps my mom's cat and my cat, and my cat humps my mom's cat, and my brother's black lab has humped my sister's poodle (all are neutered males).
Lately, we call my mom's cat Bitch.

"You dont see animals being gay do you?"
Once again, a fundie completely ignores or denies facts. Do a little research and you will find plenty of examples of homosexual behavior in animals. But words like "research" and "evidence" mean nothing to you, do they?

Yes, there are gay animals, but even if there weren't...
You don't see animals riding bikes, driving cars, flying planes, doing banking, playing guitar, brewing beer, electing presidents, DO YOU???
So stop telling us about how "god" designed stuff!

A lady from Haiti
Whose past was quite shady
Once went to bed
With a parrot.
It was awkward and slow,
And quite naughty, I know,
But it seems she had misplaced
Her carrot.
