Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

(f) has been shown to promote monogamy and faithfulness in the married couple (reducing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases) far better than same-sex union.

Huh? I've heard that lesbian relationships tend to last longer than hetero ones. Also, lesbians get less STDs.

(c) fosters bonding between a man and his children so that the man is most likely to become an active participant in family life;

Well then, allowing gay men to marry must be extra-good....

(a) fosters and facilitates the birth of children in culturally approved ways;

Now that's just tautological, as they're trying to get the culture to disapprove of gay parenting....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Did the aliens abduct me?

For gay sex, to make up their numbers, probably.

Msbelle, you working from home today too, or just home?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Frankly--those numbers speak to amazing time management, and I'd love to learn the basic principles.

Seriously!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need to know how much time those guys were taking to have the 1000 sex partners. I mean, one a week for 20 years? Slutty but not crazy. To me.

What is even happening?

Emily, yes. Aliens abducted you, and while you were gone, your page loaded (which is maybe what ate up the other five seconds after the site accepted your post?).

ION,

"Oh my god - I totally forgot!"

Still impressive though -- I don't think I'm capable of going out that often, let alone going and meeting someone and taking them home. (Not to mention, you have to keep finding new places, or you're bound to repeat a few, right?)

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I feel bad making fun of the can't-think-of-good-things-about-marriage people, but... wow, whoever wrote their website? Should not be writing anything. What a pathetic example of persuasive writing. "Most also believe that these substitutes for or counterfeits of marriage will be additional failed social experiments with marriage and the family that have hurt people, most especially children."

These will be experiments that have hurt people? Apparently the next step after same-sex marriage is TIME TRAVEL. Based on which, it's already too late.

God help me, I like this skirt. Luckily it's insanely expensive, so I'm spared even the temptation of giving in to trendiness.

"Oh my god - I totally forgot!"

I guess that's pregnancy brain, eh?

I mean, one a week for 20 years? Slutty but not crazy. To me.

Only two weeks off per year? Limited opportunities for going around again? Very demanding.

If this is true, then I must insist that all the gays get married as soon as possible, so I can get a TARDIS.
