The Truthe® Comes From Maine
Our fellow haters and bigots in the great state of Maine are in a struggle to undo the sinful work of activist judges the state’s elected officials. While The Gays claimed victory against discrimination on May 05, our kind is working hard to get the civil rights of a minority group suppressed by mob rule a majority vote by a potential ballot question.
The fine bigots at the Maine Marriage Alliance have done extensive research to answer the commonly asked questions about marriage. When asked how allowing two men or two women down the street to marry might affect your straight marriage performed in a Las Vegas drive thru chapel, they provide this brilliant answer:
Legal recognition for openly non-monogamous gay unions would effectively destroy the taboo on adultery. The result is a continual downfall of families and society.
Stanley Kurtz, a research fellow at Stanford University explains: “What we need to understand — but do not — is that gay marriage will undermine the structure of taboos that continue to protect heterosexual marriage — and will do so far more profoundly than either the elimination of sodomy laws, or the general sexual loosening of the past thirty years. Above all, marriage is protected by the ethos of monogamy — and by the associated taboo against adultery. The real danger of gay marriage is that it will undermine the taboo on adultery, thereby destroying the final bastion protecting marriage: the ethos of monogamy.”
It’s so obvious! Even though The Gays are fighting for official recognition of their love and willingness to commit to a lifelong monogamous relationship, what they really want to do is sleep with the straight husband or wife down the street. Once we allow The Gays to rise to the same level of love as we straights have, then the logical outcome is that straight men will suddenly become adulterers. Never you mind that the whole point of Gay Marriage is to celebrate and recognize monogamous gay relationships. They are of course lying and are really just looking for a best bud to go to swingers parties with.
P.S. — We borrowed that lighthouse picture from Maine Marriage Alliance’s website. We completely disagree that it looks like a penis and two testicles.
I have a contrary position. There was a tradition of “heterosexual marriage” based upon very strict sex roles. The thing that ate away at that first was the nuclear family itself – young men and women in isolated couples separated geographically from the older generations who enforced the roles through all the stages of life – what Mothers must do, what Fathers must do, what roles Grandparents and Cousins and Aunts (“old maid” or otherwise) and Uncles (“gay” or otherwise) should play.
Personally I think that once those roles broke down, the artifact of gender roles in marriage was soon to follow.
In my opinion, gay marriage does reflect the end of the old definition of marriage, but, as I wrote above – so do nuclear families. I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
I wholeheartedly support marriage equality. I find it strange, though, that one of the main strategies that has been adopted has been to argue for a kind of traditional marriage that straight people really don’t follow and/or to pretend that the sex role issue never existed and that marriage was always about “love and commitment” by choice between two equal parties free to create the relationship they want.
