Wow Sky you get creepy sometimes.
I'm with you about some of the "mainstreaming" but your logic is flawed somewhat unless you put all of this in the same basket-which you cant or dont have to.
You can't live just by some cold logic-you have to be human as well....

On the bright side let gays get married adopt children instead of pretending to be straight.
It may cause the genome to go extinct (i'm hypocrite lol)

Sky seems to be clear, the more rights you deny gays the better off the world will be. I suspect a few million gay couples live together as married, the question is why deny them the benefits of marriage, property rights, medical rights, parental rights, etc...

Being single has nothing to do with it, you have the right to get married as would a gay single person.

I don't think Sky or anyone else is trying to deny benefits to gay couples. All of that was offered freely, they just wanted to call it civil unions.

Did you actually read the argument? That is not what he was saying at all. And yet, you agreed with it couple of pages back.

It is not about civil unions/Marraige...

It is about being "classified differently."
Usually religious reasons are cited in con arguments.

Aesops fables are as valid a source as the bible, q'ran or Torah... I seen no proof any of those books haters love to quote being any more true than Aesop, or the Twilight trilogy.

Giving someone the same rights as another group - ie civil unions vs marriage - is about being "classified differently"?

What?

I thought it was about having equal rights. Now its about labels? Make up your mind.
