Good news, ladies! Marriage equality causes girls to become sluts. Since the SCOTUS is likely to rule in favor of marriage equality by June of this year, it is just a matter of time before you become the slut you always wanted to be. Let's hear it for the sluts! And, there is also big news for the men, but it's not as good. Yes, marriage equality will increase your testosterone level, but to a level that is much too high. You might even become violent as a result. You will at least become a rambunctious bad boy. Let's hear it for the bad boys!
A number of SPLC labeled hate groups have filed an amicus brief with the SCOTUS in the marriage equality cases. According to those groups, marriage equality will cause our boys to become rambunctious violent men always looking for trouble (i.e. bad boys). And, it will cause our little girls to become promiscuous trollops (i.e. sluts and tramps). They cite the discredited research/work of Mark Regnerus. Some of the signatories of the brief include Focus On The Family, The Family Leader, the Indiana Family Institute, the Center for Arizona Policy, the Christian Civic League of Maine, the Florida Family Policy Council, Hawaii Family Advocates.
Note - Yes, I made up that part about the testosterone, but not the part about the violence. What can I say? I was on a roll.
From the brief:
Fathers tend to roughhouse and engage in stimulating play with their children, which helps teach them to avoid violence and control aggression—important lessons that in turn enable children to form healthy relationships with their peers. Fathers also discipline less frequently than mothers, but are more consistent in applying predetermined consequences for particular actions. Indeed, the mere presence of a father in the home significantly reduces the likelihood that boys will engage in delinquent behavior. For boys, fathers also serve as role models by engendering a healthy respect for femininity, and that respect discourages compensatory masculinity and associated aggressive and violent behavior. For girls, an involved father reduces the likelihood of early sexual activity and teenage pregnancy, promotes self-esteem and a positive body image, and decreases the risk of eating disorders.
