Gay marriage means purchasing babies from others and calling them your children. It is an interesting conflation of slavery (purchasing human beings) and forgery (false statement of value: X is my son, although in fact he is not).

Yeah, just so you know, most gay folk are perfectly capable of producing children, what with being fertile and all. Also, IVF.
So gay people adopting children into a loving home is inferior to straight people adopting children into a loving home...
Go bareback, Fabio. Preferably with one of these:

Gay marriage can mean adopting the cast off babies from heterosexuals and making them your children.
Equating gay parents adopting children with slavery is major asshattery. It argues against adoption by homosexuals and heterosexuals. Being against adoption makes you an a$$hole.
Not only is Fabio *snicker* against same-sex marriage or same-sex anything, he's against adoption! I guess, in his eyes, all orphans can just be thrown into the deep woods to freeze, stare & get eaten by wild animals.
(Every time I hear the name 'Fabio', I picture some big 'romantic' oaf with long flaxen tresses who shows up on Romance novel covers)
Yet I bet this guy sees no problem forcing poor single women to bear children for the rich to adopt, so long as the babies are white, pretty, and perfect enough.
Let's talk about Joseph now, then...
Also, you MUST be for abortion, then. Because I thought the major talking point was that women should put their unwanted children up for adoption, because there are many people looking to adopt. Or is that different?
No Fabio, gay marriage is the marriage of two people of the same gender. There is no slavery involved. They may adopt a child, but straight couples do that as well, so there should not be any laws barring them from doing so, no matter how much you want there to be.
Words cannot describe how loopy this statement is.
So technically you are calling adoption of children slavery and forgery - Whether it is by homosexual or heterosexual couples.
Most of the time that it has been a form of slavery, is the adoption of children by religious extremists prone to commiting abuse over the tiniest infractions, quite ironically.
Those cases aside, I think adoption has to be one of the most selfless acts in human history.
So, my cousin (who was adopted-by two straight but infertile people, BTW) is actually part of some mafia ring of babies?
Sweet, maybe she can help me come to an "arrangement" with my student loan bills. ; )

This is the perfect situation for Republicans to draft legislation for ! We must do something at once !!
Can you imagine all those FORGED kids running around calling the people that PURCHASED them DAD and MOM and LORD KNOWS WHAT ELSE ??
How can this be happening in an Upstanding White Christian Nation founded on Christian Principles by the Christian Founding Deities who wrote the Christian Constitution which is obviously derived verbatim from the Christian Bible which was drafted and signed after the Christian Declaration of Independence ??
This is what my Starbucks lattes have paid for ?? I for one am deeply outraged ! OUTRAGED I Tell You !!
Isn't adoption always like that, regardless of the gender/s of the parents? Well, you seldom call it "purchasing" when the parents are of opposite genders.
Gay marriage means two consenting adults stating in front of a judge or a priest that they want to share everything with each other from this day onward.
Gay people are not inherently sterile; they are just as fertile as straight people. A lesbian couple can share eggs and sperm with a gay couple, either the "natural" way, or through IVF. The kids will then have two mummies and two daddies. That must be twice as healthy as the parentage of an ordinary straight couple, right?
Of course, when straight couples do this it's called 'adoption', but as soon as gay couples adopt, it's 'slavery', or 'buying kids'.
Adoption is slavery!
War is peace!
Ignorance is strength!
