Thank you for agreeing that that was not your position. It would have pained me to have been condescending to your actual position.
I doubt you will ever convince anyone about this, because you are simply arguing over whether it is perverse and wrong. You will not be able to convince them that it is.
And yes, from my perspective it is the same as marrying a dog. And the only distinction between them worth making is if you think that same-sex marriage is not perverse. I don’t think making silly distinctions helps anyone or gains you credibility with anyone.
Nor would you do anything with that credibility.
It’s not about winning–you won’t win. For me, it’s about knowing what I know and believe.
But hey, if you think you’ll convince someone and this is how, go for it. But I think you’ll have an easier time convincing them that it is perverse than that marriage requires a raised right paw on both sides.
