How can we be expected to argue the case against same sex marriage?

A bit rich calling me the victim, rofl.

I'm sure you've heard them all before, and I'm not interested in an online debate (we all know how swimmingly they go) but since you asked, here's brief summary of the reasons I'll be voting no:

  • Primarily, my Christian beliefs (no surprise to anyone, I'm sure, lmao)
  • Adoption (IMO all children should have the right to a mother and father, at least in theory)
  • It's a threat to religious freedom (this is a personal opinion based on the statements made by LGBT people I've talked too, along the lines of "churches not marrying us will be discrimination")
  • It's a threat to freedom of speech (it could very easily become another 18C, silencing anyone who disagrees with it)
  • Most gay people do not want to/will not get married; look at the statistics of any country that allows it to see just how few people it will affect. One of many examples such a person.

  • Civil unions fulfil 100% of the purpose of marriage. It will be a waste of time and money, redefining a word that is unnecessary

  • The slippery slope theory is observably real, despite it being labelled a "fallacy"; straight after it was legalised in the US, the push for gender-neutral bathrooms and the like started

  • Not because I'm hateful or a bigot, believe it or not. (Although I will admit, I'd love to see Waleed Aly's tears on live TV if they lost.)

I get that others may disagree with these arguments, and of course counter-arguments exist, but these are actual arguments; they have nothing to do with "hate".
