1/30/2024 0 Comments Stupid anti gay memeWhat follows is a handy guide to spotting, and refuting, these arguments Type A: The Insidiously Homophobic Arguments To the untrained ear these arguments sound like they may have grounding in reason, but on closer inspection reveal themselves as homophobic. In rallying against the introduction of equal marriage, religious campaigners have frequently stressed that their objections are not driven by homophobia, and have deployed numerous arguments to demonstrate this. Some have just not been exposed to the right arguments, and so I will demonstrate here that each anti-gay marriage argument ultimately serves to oppress or imply the lesser status of the minority of which I am a part. I do not believe all opponents of gay marriage are hateful. Furthermore, I have been told it is offensive to brand such remarks “bigoted”, and that I am the bully. I have even been told I am going to hell. I have been told I do not deserve equal rights. I have been told my natural urges are a choice. In these arguments the love I have for my fiancé has been belittled as just “sex” or only “friendship”. I am a gay man who, when arguing for gay marriage, has been called “lesser”, “unnatural”, “deviant” and “sinful”.
