It's so vapid it makes me want to barf, but I don't think that's the same sort of argument from disgust
    Oh, it's not an argument from disgust, although it might've sounded like it. The argument is that I don't want to give legal recognition, in the form of marriage, to a certain group of people, simply because they feel like they deserve it, and give no actual reason for it whatsoever.

      I was thinking closer to 'wards of the state,' especially since most seem to depend upon the state already for almost all their personal affirmation.
      Oh no, you see, the suicide rates and the diseases are just results of the gays being 'breath' REPREEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSED all their lives by all you hateful bigots. I mean, it's not like these people have a mental disorder, and 'that's' the source of all these problems........right?

          I used to have an OKCupid account before I met my lovely wife, and some of the normal survey questions on the site that they give you to match you up ask you if you have objections to homosexuality. Now I wonder if they kick you off the site if you answer that.

          I'm sure they don't. That's a lot of ad revenue they'd be losing.

                Go ahead sea, give one example of how they are treated like 'second class citizens'. I'm waiting.

                Raising awareness of such support and encouraging a voluntary boycott: Nazi behavior!

                It reminds me of Adolf Hitler and his wrist-band awareness campaigns.
                AKA bullying people to make them agree with you, is ok in Sea's book. As so long as they disagree with you. Tell me, if a Christian group used their influence to attempt to bully some other groups into agreeing with them; would you be ok with that?

                    That is false if "marriage" includes an element of romantic affection, which it does. It's an uncaring thing to say.

                      You don't seem to be liberal about other marriage restrictions, such as only one spouse, or not marrying animals or children or objects (or yourself).

                      How uncaring of you.

                        The government has never come to my home to ask me if I am in love with my wife. Nor was there a Yes/No checkbox on the marriage application we filled out that asked "Are you two romantically affectionate for each other?"

                          "Romantic affection" is usually the very last set of words most would use in describing gay relationships.

                          Words that usually come to mind are....

                          shallow
                          superficial
                          imitative
                          brash
                          childish
                          repellent
                          smarmy
                          warped
                          soul-deadening
                          ghoulish
                          disgusting
                          broken
                          embarassing
                          degrading
                          facile
                          corrupted
                          consumerist
                          petty
                          And most of all, social polluters and vampires of innocence.

                          Since I'm a guy, I have far fewer words for actual lesbians outside of:

                          boring
                          pointless
                          misguided
                          featureless
                          clueless
                          uncanny valley
                          ugly

                          Representative photograph, as I can't think of more 'less' words:
