How about this one: "Married gay couples would enjoy the same tax benefits as heterosexual couples, but aren't able to contribute to society by producing future tax payers a.k.a. children."

A former friend of mine used that quote. While still invalid, it is at least more creative than the american fundie-blahshit. :lol:
Creative... how? The same "argument" would apply to a heterosexual couple with an infertile partner, as well as a heterosexual couple who do not plan on ever having children.

Oh, but the APA doesn't use valid studies, and it's being manipulated for the gay agenda.

That's right, the APA is an invalid source according to these homophobic retards.

Hardcore homophobes will no doubt take that line in which case just insult them & move on there's no reasoning with such people. However APA type stuff can & does work on less close minded social conservative types & undecideds so it still has value.

Yes, and every other medical association who agrees with the APA have been taken over by gays too. :wink:

Can you give me a huge list? That would make good rebuttal material.

I have been told that the mainstream organizations like the two APA's, the San Fran, and the AAA are wrong because they are American sources and controlled by the vial captalists. Only SOviet Science and Eastern sources count.

Number 1, what's wrong if Gay parents raise gay children? I'd only be worried about that if humanity was dangerously underpopulated, and that we needed children to be born, but hey, we're DEFINITELY not there.

Gays aren´t incapable of reproducing, some even want to have kids, and will force themselves to reproductive activity if necessary. So the Fundies lose even that argument. ;)

I wonder what life would be like if we were all gay clones in the military, like Spartans. :P

This is very helpful. Thank you.

Boring?
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.
