Only if you want more free time on your honemoon
You know how religious conservatives like to trot out that infuriating line about how gay people don't need "special rights" since they can already marry someone of the opposite sex? Yea, well most of us who operate on Planet Rational realize that while cohabitating and sharing one's life with an orientation-discordant individual might lead to lots of laughs and fun shopping trips, a hetero-homo union is not going to ultimately lead to a sexually-fulfilled "happily ever after." And as you can see in this advice column, the "Today" show's Dr. Gail Saltz is totally living with us on our reasoned planet:
Should I marry my gay best friend? [MSNBC]
And to those on the far-right who DO want to encourage gay-straight weddings: Thanks, but we actually enjoy our orgasms when they're attached to the situation at hand (among other parts), rather than brought about by images that we have to go to in our mind in order to get through the deed. Call us selfish.
Your thoughts
That "gay people can already marry someone of the opposite sex" is so absurd, it shouldn't need a response. However, its advocates are blind to anything but their own animus towards gay folk, and rational and logical consistency isn't their strong suit. Let's apply their logic to them:
"It's perfectly okay to pass a law that makes Christian worship illegal because the law would apply to both Christians and atheists equally."
Equal application of the law is not the same as equal protection of the law. Wish that they could learn this lesson.
