PROPONENTS FOR PROP. 8 MAKING SOME LOUSY ARGUMENTS AND GETTING ALL TANGLED UP

We think they should have argued more from nature. Male and female are needed for the survival of the species and is nature's way for all mammals to accomplish this. That's the best argument.

Relationships that memorialize that fact and encourage procreation are thus beneficial to the species. Putting gay marriage on an equal footing with heterosexual marriage is anti-nature (for our species) and anti-procreation.

Unfortunately, the proponents of Prop. 8 are trying to thread the needle with too many threads. For example, they want to maintain a one man/one woman definition of marriage, but they also try to make a case (but weakly, if the linked article is any clue), as we did above, in favor of the procreation argument. These are really two issues and shouldn't be combined.

If it's procreation that is desired, then polygamy works better than one man/one woman, but the proponents are trying to avoid letting polygamy become a standard form of marriage and that's why they also emphasize one man/one woman.

And, it's with this that they start losing the argument.

As the proponents of Prop. 8 say that the one/one marriage is good for the children, those in favor of gay marriage chime in that they're also for one/one marriage and that the essential thing for the good of the children is this one/one relationship and that it doesn't matter if it is one male/one female or one male/one male, one female/one female or even one trans-gender/one transgender or any combination.
