Truth Unvarnished's 'Reasons for not legalising gay marriage'

A new series in which I want people to suggest new reasons for Truth Unvarnished to oppose the legalisation of gay marriage.

For example, from Truth Unvarnished we've had:

'Gay marriage shouldn't be legalised because...

a man cannot be father to a pebble

otherwise dead people would want to get married

if it was predatory old men would prey on children

It would be like attaching all four wheels to one side of car.

But even he might run out at some point - so we need some new ones.

For example, 'Gay marriage shouldn't be legalised because it might increase the level of rainfall in Perth, Australia'.

I'm sure you can think of better ones. In keeping with the stature of the contest I feel I need to award a prize, and to show its importance it needs to be a good one. Hence the most innovative reason will win -- 'Status Quo's Greatest Hits' (on cassette).
