I have a few old friends on Facebook that are ultra religious and I am not surprised they are posting crap on facebook. One, of course, is using the slippery slope argument that now pedophiles will and in fact are seeking equal rights now that guys have. I responded with sure, if two pedophiles want to get married who are we to stop them. But if you are referring to children than as soon as we (the law/moral compass/whatever) recognize kids as consenting adults we can open the conversation back up.
I also don't really like the argument/excuse of it has no impact on me so do whatever you want. I'm not gay but I have a few gay friends and been to a couple of gay weddings. Seeing people happier, relieved, more excepted, what have you definitely has an impact on my life. More positivity is definitely better than negativity or not caring at all. It's true I don't care what people do in the bedroom but that's not what we are talking about it here. We are or should be talking about treating people as people regardless.
