Thou Shalt Not Commit Logical Fallacies

What is a logical fallacy you ask?  Well I am so glad there is a great website with an awesome poster to help you figure this out!  Just check out This website and look around.  Need a better visual representation?  They even offer a poster for you.

So what has brought this to my attention?  The sheer amount of logical fallacies I see equating gay marriage to pedophilia and bestiality.  Let us get a few things straight, shall we?

First, marriage is the union of two consenting adults.  A child, you know those 12 year olds that everyone loves to throw in this argument, is not a consenting adult.  End of discussion!  Asking for rights to marry your partner, as an adult, is nothing like asking a child to marry an adult. 

Second, marriage is the union of two consenting adults.  A dog, or cat or bird or lion, is not a consenting adult.  End of discussion!  Asking for rights to marry your partner, as an adult, is nothing like asking a dog to marry an adult.

Gay marriage is the union between two consenting adults who happen to be the same biological sex, or the same gender (which are different, but we'll get there at a later date and time).  There are no children or dogs involved in the process.

Until Next Time.
