America, Gay Marriage, Homosexuality, Marriage in Culture, Politics Monday, March 26, 2012 at 3:36AM | by Otter Students love to choose gay marriage for argumentative essay topics, and this reveals something interestingly stupid about Americans: they are irrationally not giving up on marriage as a romantic ideal…
The problem is that the chaos of marriage is ideological, not equitable: putting it more simply, we don’t really know what marriage is supposed to be doing.

In the absence of any clear reason (apart from the Bible's thou-shalt-nots), what possible reason could one have for damaging homosexuals by insisting on their celibacy?
If you ask Christians why gossip is wrong, the answer is clear and forceful. Adultery? The logic is clear. Theft? Murder? Sloth? Anger? Malice? Christianity is beautifully clear.
Homosexuality?
Well....
