Doonesbury Say What?

"I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to be extinct, and none of us wants to be. So we don't want genocide. We don't want to destroy the sacred institution of marriage...Marriage between one man and one woman remains the guard against human extinction."
-- MLK niece Alveda King on gay marriage

*sigh* Gay people are what percentage of the population? And the subset of gay people who want to get married are what smaller percentage?

I can think of five, count them, FIVE couples that I met when they were single in the 80's or 90's who are having children. This is not counting relatives, just personal friends.

Somehow I don't think the numbers would support gay marriage equating racial extinction.

Not to mention that gay couples are not always childless. And not all hetero couples have, or even want, children. Last I checked, we did not have compulsory procreation laws. Seriously, this argument doesn't even make sense. Some people will grasp at any argument, no matter how flimsy, won't they?
