Yes, arguments against gay rights. There are few things that make my blood boil faster.

This. Normally I can respect and understand both sides of an issue, even if I don't agree, but there is no valid reason to be against gay rights.

"OMFG IT THREATENS TRADITIONAL VALUES!!1!" makes no fucking sense. Are gays trying to take rights away from straights? No. All they want is to have the SAME rights. And if you really think they're going to invade your schools and teach kids about sodomy, then go buy some tinfoil and make yourself a fucking hat.

"Gay parents = gay kids!" Okay, so where do you think all the gay people came from before gay couples raising kids became a thing? If you guessed "straight parents", congratulations, please step on up and claim your prize. Now, I know that saying "if straight parents don't necessarily raise straight kids, then gay parents don't necessarily raise gay kids" is the fallacy of the converse, and therefore isn't logically sound, but use your brain, people.

"Children need influence from both sexes growing up!" I have some single parents here who would like to have a word with you.

"But procreation!" I have some elderly, infertile, and non-child-wanting people here who would like to have a word with you. I've also brought in a number of overpopulation scientists, just for good measure.

"Stick to the status quo~!" Okay, I'll admit, it's a catchy song. But you know what else was status quo? Slavery. Women being property. If you're racist and sexist, try this one: no electricity!

"But the Bible says--" No, stop right there. Do you always obey the Bible to the letter? Probably not, seeing as it says countless other things that have long since become outdated. Do you play football? Wear polyester? Eat shellfish? Congratulations, you're permanently marked as a heathen and have nothing to lose by supporting gay rights.

If there's one I haven't covered, give it to me. I'll explain why it's fucking stupid.

100% agreed, and you make some excellent points. I can't think of other reasons people give for being against it either; it usually comes down to one of these. (And you've done a good job of explaining why all of these arguments are idiotic, so kudos. I feel like I need to keep this somewhere so I can use it in the future.)
