Jane Galt’s argument is remarkably weak — so weak I’m surprised to see anyone repeat it as a serious argument. It boils down to “I don’t like gay marriage, therefore I claim that it will cause some undefined harm to someone in the future. Thus it should be outlawed.” No facts, no details, no proof — just Jane’s own personal speculation that some heretofore-unseen boogeyman might arise. That’s not an argument, that’s a personal paranoia begging to be taken seriously.

Sorry, Jane, this matter is about the law, not about religion. In order to deny a class of American citizens the same rights as other Americans enjoy, you’ll need to provide proof and logic, not speculation and dogma.
