Comments section is mainly the usual mix of wharrgble, but the article brings up a lot of good points about the anti-equality side and their use of rhetoric.

If you look at it logically, cannibalism has great potential to simultaneously solve our overpopulation and food shortage problems.

These people are ignoring the fact that humans are not biologically programmed for monogamy.  This means that all marriage is "unnatural".

No, that is "traditional marriage" in some cultures/religious groups.

"Natural" would imply that it is sometype of marriage that was in use in the early days of humanity before forming of cultures and civilisation.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I can't help but think of "natural marriage" in the same sense as "natural child" (i.e. illegitimate, not recognised by the law). Weird choice of words if they want it to be the new battle-cry of the anti-gay movement.

These people do know that in some heterosexual couples, one or both are infertile and cannot produce children, right?

For Christ's sake, there are already a fuck-ton of children without parents, and these little shits still follow this insane concept that homosexual couples are a bunch of sexually-depraved freaks and don't want the children - which these callous shitheads don't want to raise anyway - to be raised by a homosexual couple because of this  strawman shit. They want all couples to have children from the vaginas of every woman on Earth and not some weepy child who has no mommy or daddy and wants one. And another story, those couples who get damned for deciding not to have children.

Man, most heterosexual people and Theists (not just Christians, but mostly) are laammmeeee...

It's really a stretch to imagine them as a victim here. I don't think they care.

Careful, don't cut yourself on that edge.

Perhaps not as severe a victim as homosexuals and the like, but us child-free folk do get our fair share of hate and negative stereotyping.  Just look at the comment section of any article (that allows comments, of course) about, say, how much it costs to have children or anything people might consider even slightly anti-child.  You'll find a gaggle of retards all in their own little echo chambre saying that people who don't want children hate kids, want kids to die, are selfish pricks, or are closet pedophiles.  Because heaven forbid someone NOT want to squeeze a watermelon out their snatch or have a screaming shit-machine...or any of the other myriad, negative things that come with having and/or raising a child.
