What I'd say about gay marriage

If I were John Kerry, here's what I'd say about the gay marriage amendment in a debate:

There he goes again. George Bush — the uniter, not the divider — is using this issue as a wedge to drive Americans apart by making this complex question of morality, religion, states rights, and love into a simple yes-no, "you're either with us or against us." Americans are smarter than that, Mr. President. We can handle tough questions in all their complexity. And, frankly, it's a failure of leadership and of vision that you can only see things in black and white.

Then I'd pants W.

All this talk of wedgies and pantsing... I like the short mental movie I have of you grabbing W's trousers and ripping them down, exposing boxers (with some embarrassing design) that Laura gave him on a recent birthday, and then the coup de wedge - pulling the elastic of the rear of those boxers so high that he's wearing it like a headband, the baggy boxers now a tight fitting Yalie burnoose covering his funny ears.

"this complex question of morality..."

This is not a complex issue. Homosexual acts are immoral. They are clearly unnatural. States ought not, and must not sanction gross immorality.

It's not a moral issue at all.

Marriage is just the name we give to the human mating pair...

Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it. Only complimentary genders form a mating pair... plain and simple, and this has been recognized since before recorded history in every culture known to exist.

Do pairings of the same sex have the right to be recognized as a human mating pair? Of course not.

It's stupid.
