More old stuff with new relevance with the discussion of "gay marriage". Sad to say, I've had otherwise intelligent people tell me "So what if gays can't marry someone of the same sex?". From my point of view, what's good for the goose...

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the convention, the > indicates prior writers. For example:

SS> This is "SS" writing first
FR> This is "FR" writing second
I am the primary writer (the one with no funny marks in front of his words).

"Gays can get married to members of the other sex" - spaldam Danmspam

        And you can now only get married to members of the same sex.
        If you claim to be married to a member of the opposite sex, we
        will prosecute you using archaic sex laws that are not
        prosecuted against homosexuals.  Further, if you try to file
        joint tax returns, you will be defrauding the government, even
        if you both live in the same household.  You cannot put your
        wife on your company insurance plan.  You cannot visit your
        wife if she is ever in intensive care.  You have no more rights
        in respect to your wife than you would to a roommate, or she
        you.  You cannot be considered the father of any children your
        wife has or adopts.  In fact, you cannot adopt at all as a
        couple.

        You will be ridiculed for being a heterosexual, and rightly so!
        Heterosexuals make up the majority of child molesters, don't you
        know?  And let's not *even* talk about rapists, voyeurs, and
        exhibitionists!  If you're prominent, you better hide the fact
        that you're heterosexual, if you don't want your reputation
        tarnished.

        Oh, and let's not forget those "misguided" people who physically
        assault you, just because you're hetero.  They don't represent
        all of us, even though you constantly are doing something
        utterly loathesome, practicing that heterosexual lifestyle!
        Why, the heterosexual community is perverting our children by
        constantly exposing them to sex in the media and in the schools!
        If it wasn't for heterosexuals, chamidya, syph, herpes,
        gonhorrea and a host of other STD's wouldn't be around today!

        I see no reason why ANYONE should support a heterosexual!


        Yeah, that's a loving attitude, ain't it.
