An anti-gay group from Ireland thought they had an original argument against marriage equality. As it turns out, not only was the argument unoriginal and repulsive to boot, but it made the group a laughing stock:
According to The Huffington Post, online responses to the flyer hasn't exactly been supportive:
However, this entire nonsensical ado proves just why we are winning the marriage equality fight (thus far). The opposition has either ridiculously long-winded arguments created by little thinktank prodigies barely wet behind the ears or bizarre sexual histronics masquerading as concrete thinking.
Meanwhile, our community has steadily been telling the stories of our relationships and families. Of the unnecessary hoops we have to jump through in order to protect their interests or the level of disrespect we are exposed to by folks who will then play the victim and portray us as aggressive folks when all we demand the fairness that we deserve.
In the end, our reality trumps their lurid fantasies and silly unrealistic arguments every time.

According to The Huffington Post, online responses to the flyer hasn't exactly been supportive:
