I Now Know Everything There Is (Not) To Know About Gay Rights.
Even as the numbers of gay rights advocates climb, it seems as though not everyone is a fan. The majority of America is still not amused by the display of liberalism, and continues to oppose the unfathomable shift from the conventional.
In a recent Fox News poll, it was shown that Americans oppose same-sex marriage by an overwhelming 66 to 25 percent margin. The results also showed that a majority of Americans also supported an amendment to the Constitution that would virtually ban gay marriage altogether (foxnews.com). In a similar Zogby poll, an internationally trusted strategic information database, it was found that by a 51 to 43 percent margin, voters agreed that a constitutional amendment was in order that would limit marriage to the union of a man and a woman (zogby.com) Clearly, the idea that Americans prefer that homosexuals be allowed to marry is a fallacy.
It is possible that such strong opposition exists because same-sex marriage threatens the traditional marriage and family. The change is so potentially harmful because the current conventional marriage between heterosexuals is the standard of measurement for society. If this standard is discarded, the entire definition of our society could fall into a chasm of confusion and chaos. According to the Family Research Council (FRC), “homosexual marriage is an empty pretense that lacks the fundamental sexual complementariness of male and female (FRC).” The effects of altering the basic concepts of sexuality within our civilization could be detrimental.
The Family Research Council eloquently states, “Homosexual marriage is a potent political issue with opponents ever more dedicated to preserving the traditional marriage.” Clearly, this fact continues to hold true. The opposition to the potentially disastrous plea for same-sex rights perserveres, and as long as this continues, America can feel safe and secure.
this is how i feel about same-sex marriage.

Interesting point–that it’s actually a fallacy that there is actually support from the mainstream for gay marriage. I wonder, then, why we’re bombarded–mostly from the media–by the cry to legalize it. I wonder why ABC, for example, is flagrantly flouting same-sex couples on several shows. Is Hollywood trying to promote the gay marriage cause? If so, what effect does this have on the perception of support for gay marriage?
Love the pic, which you nicely attributed.:)
