1.) The protest of, just try it, is much more likely to have a positive reaction for marijuana use than for anal loving. But that isnt necessarily bad news for gay marriage. Once pot is legalized and its soothing smoke seeps into congress, people will start to care less about things, and gay marriage will be legalized with a simple, whatever. It might take a few extra sessions for anything to get accomplished, but eventually, gay marriage will be knocked off of the to do list.

2.) God doesnt hate pot. There is a narrow minded argument floating around that God hates gays. He just does. I dont know why, I guess hes just a prick. And after all, gays werent created in his image, they were corrupted when they caught the highly contagious homolaria, a creation of Satan not Yaweh.

But pot? How can you argue that God didnt create marijuana. Its a plant. Even if God doesnt exist, he probably created pot.

3.) You cant sell gays. When marijuana is finally legalized, it will be a huge cash crop for our government. It just makes sense financially. When marijuana finally gets legalized, we will be able to claw our debt stricken country back to the top of the economic food chain through a forest of sticky ickie.

After all, its not about what our country can do for us, its about what gay marriage can do for our country. Maybe they will legalize gay marriage when they figure out a way to tax rainbows and mustaches.

4.) There is a minimum of 15 years before a new milestone in civil rights can be placed. Sorry gay rights, its just science. With the election of a black president in 2008, civil rights wont be eligible until 2023 to take another step forward. And by that time, gay marriage will have to fight to beat out our first elected emo congressman, equal wages for women, and the emancipation of robots. It could be a long time before gays get equal rights.

5.) No Hollywood movement. Stoner films have been around for the past forty years. Cheech and Chong made us laugh at the illegal, but harmless exploits, of two pot heads for years. I dont see any Cheeks and Dongs movies coming out any time soon. Marijuana has already seeped into our culture through movies and music, and has created countless icons. There were the 60s, Bob Marley, The Grateful Dead, Sublime, any rapper excluding Will Smith, Outside Providence, and Seth Rogen. I cant think of one Hollywood Icon that can properly represent gay rights.

Well, I guess there was Judy Garland. And that whole butch look thing was modeled off of Brando. Madonna and Brittney had that kiss, and that cowboy movie won a couple Oscars. Oh and what about Milk, and Ellen, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Im pretty sure Michael Cera.

I guess there is hope after all. If we could only tax mustaches
