The owners of a New Zealand guesthouse who refused to let a lesbian couple share a bed are standing firm despite threats. The Age, “You’re not doing this in my home: lesbian bed ban sparks threats and abuse”, May 21 2013. That’s the introduction to a story about a lodge …
I’ve seen some stupid arguments against gun control, and to be fair, there are stupider arguments than the one I’m about to highlight, but in terms of idiotic comparisons, this probably takes the cake.

Pretty much every day you hear some oddball proclaim to any and all who will listen about how same-sex marriage is a threat to society. But just how does that work? What are the arguments? Consider some common ones. Marriage is about the procreation of humanity You’d think, with a …
