The best rejoinder I've seen yet to the anti gay marriage folks

I found this comment on one of the articles about Mark Begich supporting gay marriage. I like it.



I think we should ban bigot marriage, because people aren't born bigots, it's a chosen lifestyle. It certainly isn't natural because you don't find bigotry in the animal world, just the human one.

If a child has bigot parents, that child is more likely to grow up to be a bigot. And if my children grow up seeing bigots treated equally with others, they might decide that bigotry is "normal" and an "OK lifestyle choice." I cannot tolerate that.

If people want to be bigots in the privacy of their own homes and do disgusting bigot things like chew tobacco, drink crappy domestic beer, and listen to Hank Williams, Jr., fine, let them. But keep it in their homes, don't make me look at it or expect me to find it acceptable. And don't let bigots marry or raise children, because then we'll just have more bigots.

No special rights for bigots.

Not possible.

I don't mean "That's not something we should do." I mean "Keeping ignorant people from making babies is not possible."
