Ok, I made it sound too much like a bible, but anyway...
I recently watched most of a show debating about if gay rights are similar to the black civil rights movement (at least that's how it started). I say "most" because I grow tired of hearing the same arguments every time. There is literally no remotely logical argument anyone can present to me that I haven't heard before. Unless you're going to tell me something like "gay marriage will put the dairy farmers in Pakistan out of business," I've probably heard your story, regardless of what side you're on. That said, I've taken pretty high consideration to writing a book that would go over literally every argument ever presented toward this issue, but since my memory's pretty foggy for specifics, I need your help.
I'd appreciate it if you'd list whatever arguments you've heard, for and against, so that I have something to work off of. Preferably, I need arguments against it, because, having heard it all before, I could pretty easily get the counter-arguments for it. I'm not asking to actually debate it with you guys. That's what the book is for, so that I can calmly get all my thoughts together and it can be a reference for future debates (let me worry about getting that last part together).
