Neither are Christians and Muslims, or whites and blacks. Your point?

Which doesn't matter. Marriage was never dependent on divorce rate. There is no criteria that says that poverty-stricken couples, for example, can't marry, even though they statistically (AFAIK) have a very high divorce rate.

I could find statistics saying that children of lesbian couples are abused less often and perform better socially... but you'd ignore them, so I won't.
"statistics show..."
(citation needed)
"it is not equal because equal means the same

I think I've heard this argument before. Now, how did it go... oh, yes:
"it is not equal because equal means the same
and negroes and whites are NOT the same."
It didn't fly then and your bullshit doesn't fly now.
"and on a final note statistics show that a high percentage of gay couples dont stay together or cheat on the other."
And? What, you think they have a monopoly on that?
now you tell me that your love is better than ours."
Love is love buddy. No better, no worse.
"now you tell me that your love is better than ours"
Who the hell said that? I mean...I know that your love is crappy, but still...no one would ever tell you that. Because we care about your feelings...which is more than you can say.
I'd have said, "No, our love is equal," and do to straight people I respect, but this ain't one of them.
By the way, as a bisexual woman, I always have the same set of assets and liabilities. I don't become any better or worse with each relationship. I just get treated better or worse depending on my relationship.

We are all the same, and thus equal, in the basic human rights we're each entitled to, including the right to marry the person you love.
Following your logic, marriage between a man and a woman shouldn't be permitted either because the are NOT the same, am I right?. And alternative bizarro universes is not a valid argument(statistics shows that homosexual couples last longer, on average, than straight ones)
They didn't say their love was better, they said it was equal! Yes, some gay people cheat or break up, just like some straight people cheat or break up. That's because they are EQUAL.

Statistics show that 70% of child molesters are in a Male/Female marriage... (US Police, Court and Prison Records)
now you tell me that your love is better than ours
Now tell me that your love is safer for the children...
Moral of this story? Never argue with statistics... they'll come back and bite you badly.
So gay marriage shouldn't be allowed because some gays break up, or cheat on each other? Considering the 50% divorce rate in America without us being allowed to marry, you might not want to use this argument...

By that kind of reasoning, that fact that I've had two failed marriges and a string of dyfuntional relationships would disqualify me from getting married again. Would you like to take away my rights too? What about the right of christians who cheat (And they do.) or don't stay together?
"statistics show that a high percentage of gay couples dont stay together or cheat on the other"
And that, my friend, is why gays and straights are the same.
No no no!
When a straight couple breaks up, it's because they're not right for one another and need to find someone new.
When a gay couple breaks up, it's their way of showing just how promiscuous they are!
...statistics show that a high percentage of gay couples dont stay together or cheat on the other.
They show the same for heterosexual couples as well. I don't see you running to criminalize straight marriage.
Whatever cock-brain, my mother is a lesbian and she's been with the same woman for 13 years. They don't cheat on each other, shit they barely ever fight. And, they work at the same job, on the same shift, so they're basically together from the time they get up till they go to bed. I wish I could figure out how to do that, but if I spend that much time with anyone, I usually end up wanting to stab them. I thought I had a point here, but come to think of it maybe they ARE abnormal, LOL.
Five one dollar bills and one five dollar bill are equal in value. It does not mean they are the same. So you fail.
As for the rest of your post: have you ever heard of a "control group?" You can't make comparisons without something to compare against. A high percentage of straight couples don't stay together, and a high percentage of them cheat on each other too.
And no one is saying that gay love is better than straight love. It's just love. Which, btw, is love.
OK; our love is better than yours.
19 years together and counting. A happy, bright, loving child in a loving home.
okay, I will. THEIR LOVE IS BETTER THAN YOURS.
what, you want facts? you don't use them, so why should I? :D
now you tell me that your love is better than ours
You're really not getting the "equal" thing, are you?
"gays and straights are NOT the same. and on a final note statistics show that a high percentage of gay couples dont stay together or cheat on the other. now you tell me that your love is better than ours"
Multiple divorcee Newt 'Bitch pimp bling-bling' Gingrich. The 1 in 2 divorce rate in Midwest/'Bible Belt' states.
Your argument is invalid.
Your love is no different to their love, you idiot.
My love is between me and my right hand. No-one will ever come between us!
Equal doesn't mean the same like that. It means that we all ought to have the same opportunities, responsibilities and rights, regardless of religion, gender, sexuality, skin tone, nationality, etc. Lacking any of the above should also not disqualify anyone from being equal to everyone else.
A fairly high percentage of heterosexual couples also don't stay together or cheat on each other.
OK, if you insist; Our love is better than yours. Feel better now?
With that "our" I mean we who include people in our love, as opposed to you who exclude people.

Heterosexual divorce rates in the midwest & Bible Belt states being one in two.
Whose 'love' is better? You tell me.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
