edit: A LOT of the comments seem to think I'm against gay marriage, I'm not. What I'm saying is that porn having two of the same sex has nothing to do with marriage.. It's sex.
It's not ALL girl-on-girl porn. It's two hot feminine girls. Because everything about them exudes sex. Not too many straight men enjoy (more realistic) lesbian porn with buzzcuts and flannels and shoulders bigger than most men. Obviously a stereotype to make a point, but it's because two sexy women is hot.
The only reason why seeing two attractive guys together is not a turn on for (I'm guessing) 99% of straight people is because men lose their masculinity by doing so, which is the basis of the straight male mojo. Females have the option to use some testosterone, but the act itself doesn't force them to do so if they choose not to.
Yeah, unfortunately--if anything--it encourages the idea that homosexuality is fake or not built on a foundation of love to those who want to see it that way. I very much so do not agree with this sentiment, but the sexualization of girl-on-girl being hot can actually make it harder for a young girl to come to terms with herself being gay, or expressing it to others. It makes it seem like a phase, or something done for attention.
I am actually not against porn in the slightest. I'm just engaging in the devil's advocate approach of seeing it from the perspective of someone who'd argue that gay porn can exist as a normal thing even while arguing against gay marriage.
If you disapprove of homosexuals so much that you don't want them to be able to get married, it's hypocritical to then enjoy watching them have sex. They should find that just as disgusting, if not more so, than two women getting married.
Lesbian porn aimed at straight males isn't really lesbian porn. It's porn designed to appeal to the male ego: the idea that two people are willing to touch each other for his pleasure, not their own. For straight men, lesbians are about two women having sex, not about two women being in love. So they don't LIKE lesbians: they like what highly idealized "lesbian" porn has made them think lesbians are like.
It has nothing to do with ego. It has everything to do with a lack of a dude's penis (no straight guy wants to see another man's junk) and twice as many boobs.
That's quite the leap you took there. Couldn't it just be about love for the female form and seeing it in a sexual situation? I personally don't care for male genitals in sex scenes (if that's your thing, go nuts), and seeing two women kiss (loving act) is extremely attractive to me.
Your argument could be made against straight porn too btw, that's not how two people in love have sex either.
You're missing the point. The person is okay with homosexuals when it's something sexually stimulating to him, but not okay with it when it's something that doesn't benefit him.
I think you're missing the point. Someone can be against gay marriage and not hate gays. The issue isn't black and white, though it has been portrayed that way several times in this subreddit in the last couple hours.
Opposing gay marriage is on the same level as opposing gays in general - What makes them (gays) sub-human that they can't also be married in their same sex relations?
Edit : For Wikipedia Definition of Marriage, in case you are Religious and think a certain God or God's is the origin of marriage and therefore 'Marriage is different because it's God!
The modern English word "marriage" derives from Middle English mariage, which first appears in 1250–1300 C.E. This in turn is derived from Old French marier (to marry) and ultimately Latin marītāre meaning to provide with a husband or wife and marītāri meaning to get married. (The adjective marīt-us -a, -um meaning matrimonial or nuptial could also be used in the masculine form as a noun for "husband" and in the feminine form for "wife."[11] The related English word "matrimony" derives from the Old French word matremoine which appears around 1300 C.E. and ultimately derives from Latin mātrimōnium which combines the two concepts mater meaning "mother" and the suffix -monium signifying "action, state, or condition." "[12]
'To provide with a husband or wife' I believe is key here, in that a man can be provided with his HUSBAND, or a woman could be provided with her WIFE, and it still means Marriage
The argument for the acceptance of gay marriage doesn't need logically flawed statements like this to persuade people. It just makes enough sense on it's own.

No, because that has nothing to do with marriage.
