Common Arguments Against Gays and Same-Sex Marriage…and How to Counter Them

[treanir]

Yep, I was talking on a grand scale as well.

The people are the voters, and the voters often control what happens politically.

I know in a classroom, hair salon, or hang out with a group of friends, this argument won't sway that many opinions. But on a widespread, country scale, it could. It could make people not support groups like Mormons or Evangelicans or take an apathetic view to gay marriage. They may have their personal convictions opposing it, but they aren't gonna go out and vote against it.

Like I said, I think that's more an emotional thing rather than a rational one. Swaying an opinion is done by repeated positive contact with, in this case, gay men and women.

We should go door-to-door like Jehovah's Witness and Mormons and show them we are normal.

Something foreign which I can't figure out

You clearly have a sharp mind, sloppyseconds, and a gift for language (most people, self included, cannot be so inventive so prolifically). Unlike many other people, I think it's an appealing challenge to try to translate what you say into terms I can understand. But I have to say I regret that despite my best efforts, most of it is still lost.

For the first time ever, I really wish I could translate this guy. I've tried before in the beginning and these days I usually just skip it after the third sentence, but for once I seriously want to know what he is saying.
