In general: This is lovely, but let's pick up the pace.

I understand the emotion behind this campaign. But pointing out that heteros mutilate and kill their children does NOTHING to help gays achieve marriage. Nothing. It just exploits the sad and unecessary deaths of these children.

I don't think that homophobes who believe that every child needs a father and mother do so because they think homos kill and mutilate their children more than heteros. Do you?

So why post all these news articles about heteros killing their kids?

Because it's easy. And dramatic. It's a fucking cop out.

It's hard to argue with the homophobes position on gay marriage because their arguments are not rational. They're purely emotional -- they come from fear.

So instead, Dan plays with the same currency of fear and morbid fascination that homophobes play with when they talk about AIDS and fags and hell.

I think that Dan's heart is in the right place, but he's misguided.

And so are you.

You might not like to see the details of the crime, but such posts are illustrative, at least.

How does that help gays get married?

So you are actually agreeing with this logic:

Heteros kill their kids
ERGO
Gays should be able to marry

What if I found an example of a gay person killing a child? Would that prove that gays should not be able to marry? Or would your counter-argument be - "well, heteros kill MORE children".

Maybe that's because there are more heteros with more kids. Who knows?

Also, either you're being intentionally obtuse, or you're precisely the type of person that should never be allowed to debate, ever, to spare the sanity of people who understand logic. An argument anti-gay marriage/adoption activists put forth is that children are safer with heterosexual parents. The point of these posts isn't that gays should marry because straights are violent assbags, it's that those safety-oriented arguments are not based on fact.
