Are you homophobic?

Just got back from Beijing yesterday where Blogger is blocked, and procrastinating packing for my flight that leaves in 8 hours, I stumbled on a blog that had the following:

12 Reasons Same-Sex Marriage Will Ruin Society

1. Homosexuality isn't natural...much like polyester, eyeglasses, and birth control.

2. Hetero marriages are valid because they produce children....Obviously, elderly couples and infertile couples are not allowed to marry.

3. Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children... because straight parents only raise straight children.

4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful...because Britney's 2-day just for fun marriage was meaningful.

5. Hetero marriage has been around for a long time and never changed...women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites and divorce is illegal.

6. Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts...because the majority-elected legislatures have historically protected the rights of the minorities.

7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion....In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed upon the whole country.

8. Hanging around gay people will make you gay...just like hanging around tall people will make you tall.

9. Legalizing gay marriage will cause all sorts of crazy behavior....People may even want to marry their pets, since dogs have legal standing and can sign a marriage license.

10. Children can't succeed without a male and a female at home.... That's why single parents are forbidden from raising children.

11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society.... We could never adapt to new social norms, because we haven't adjusted to cars or longer life spans.

12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits with a different name, are better... Because "separate but equal" is always constitutional. Separate schools for blacks worked just as well as seperate marriages will be for gays and lesbians.

It's rumored that Mainland Chinese are more open to homosexuality than people in Hong Kong (at least in the big cities), which I didn't get to witness, but I do wonder if it could be true.

I don't think I've ever seen two guys holdings hands in this supposedly "diverse" city. Will our crappy legislative system ever go the way the California and Massachusetts court have?
