Partnerships

10 reasons why same sex partnerships are wrong:

Being gay is not natural. Decent people always reject unnatural things like spectacles, polyester, and air travel.

Same sex partnerships will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that being around tall people will make you tall and working in a fish market will make you produce fins and gills.

Legalizing same sex partnerships will open the door to all kinds of bizarre behaviour. People may even wish to marry people they love.

Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still transferable property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

Straight marriage will be less meaningful now that same sex partnerships are allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

Straight marriages are valid because they usually produce children. Elderly and infertile people are already banned from marriage, so gay people should not be allowed to form a same sex partnership/gay marriage.

Obviously gay parents will produce gay children, since straight parents only bring up straight children.

Same sex partnerships are not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in the UK.

Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to bring up children.

Same sex partnerships will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.
