All those people can’t be wrong...
Unless, of course they are.
Gay marriage draws some very strong objections
There must be some basis in fact.
We are told the men are faggots
And the women are macho.
It has been suggested that such people
Poison the institution of marriage.
What about having children?
Isn’t that the ultimate purpose of marriage?
How about gay impact on the young?
Those sinners could lead children far astray.
Consider a kid who is tall
And compare him to a short child.
Ordinarily the tall one has a larger strike zone,
While the shorty can’t reach as far for the foul ball.
Whether raised by homo or heterosexual parent(s)
Neither their reach nor their strike zone will change,
Nor should we conclude that a gay parent
Is less effective in raising a child, short or tall.
Gay men and lesbians do create children
While many straights do not.
We have gay football players and lesbian homemakers.
Can we not agree that two consenting adults may marry?
We are, I think, reduced to a religious argument:
The bible tells us that homosexual marriage is wrong.
It also tells us that collecting sticks to make a fire,
On the Sabbath, is sinful, and punishable by stoning.
Stoning requires the inclusion of the entire village.
Neither women or children are excused.
All must participate in the murder
So that none can point a moral finger.
Few of us are anxious to join a stoning.
Yet the implacable Bible demands the punishment.
Are we not ready to accept “Do Unto Others” as God’s commandment
And let homosexuals freely choose if, and who, they will marry?
