1. "Same-sex marriage" results in a biological impossibility where no children can be born.
So what? There are plenty of heterosexual marriages in which children being born is a biological impossibility, at least without the treatments a lesbian couple would get. Will you tell the man with a low sperm count and his fiancé with a problem her ovaries they shouldn't legally be allowed to marry? How about an elderly couple?
We've moved long past the stage in which having children is the only reason for marriage. This isn't the middle ages when you found a wife for the main purpose of making babies with her to later use as field hands. Far from being a rational argument, this requirement that a couple be fertile to qualify for marriage is something of an anachronism in a technological, industrialized world.
3. Therefore, there's a gay lobby. Unless you think that you don't need a lobby to institute laws that favour a narrow percentage of population while brainwashing many to believe as if it were good for everyone.
At what point did I say there wasn't? Every group under the sun has lobbyists in Washington. "X lobby" implies corruption and coercion, but in practice it means nothing. In America if you don't have a lobby, your cause will lose. In it's simplest form, a lobby talks to senators and representatives to persuade them to the cause. The problem comes in if gifts and favors enters the conversation. What I say is that the "gay lobby" , in America, is laughably small compared to the Christian one and they give gifts and favors to the GOP big time.
But you say I bash Republicans. This the party that just nominated Donald Trump. There's nothing I can say or do that makes them look worse than they do to themselves.
