2. in vermont we've been having a terrible plague of locusts

no plague of frogs to date. all the public schools are now holding gay orgies from grade 3 on up.

that was the fantasy many years ago on the part of the anti-civil union folks.

of course nothing happened during the decade that civil unions were the law and nothing has happened in the two years since marriage equality was instituted. In fact, it's a big snore.

What Will Happen when Gay Marriage Is Legalized?

It is just a matter of time when it will be the law of the land.

7. Life as we know it will

go pretty much like it is now.

8. CATO predicts nearly no effect on government spending

More spending - Spousal benefits from Social Security which is the strongest argument against gay marriage in my mind.

Greater expenses to employers as partners come onto health care plans.

On the flip side it is hard to argue that all adults should not be able to enter into state recognized contracts without discrimination.

25 of 27 of my daughter's Middle School Honors classmates think that marriage between gays should be legalized, and this is in a pretty conservative community. Within ten years it will be the law of the land.

Conservatives are on the wrong side of this issue. They will pay the price.

9. Civil rights protection, survivorship rights for estates, federal marriage deductions on taxes,

shared policies for insurance benefits, etc.

You know, the stuff they can't have now.

10. Webbing halls, florists & caterers will have a windfall.

[Better Believe It]

12. And before you know it they'll be wanting to hold hands and kiss each other .... in public!

The destruction of civilization is threatened!

[LeftishBrit]

13. You forgot to mention that former Senator Santorum will be forced to marry his dog. Or turtle.

Not that any dog or turtle should be forced to marry so far below their station; but apparently that's the inevitable consequence.

[Better Believe It]

14. I would never marry even an opposite sex turtle! The babies could grow up and look like this!

[Zorra]

15. Conservatives, particularly Mormons, are afraid that many more gay

babies will be born as a result of legalizing same sex marriage.

16. This reminds me of something a rightwing teacher said when I was middle-school

I'm paraphrasing of course, but here goes: "The fall of every great civilization in history, has occurred when homosexuality is tolerated." I guess Alexander didn't get the memo,because I've heard he was bi-sexual, its kind of sad when ancient are more tolerant than us, by the way.

19. Way too much happiness,

well adjusted kids and imagination, we cannot have that. We are here to suffer.
