The fact that the article goes on to speak of the appropriateness of familial relationships and has NOTHING to do with same-sex marriage only highlights the point that the comparison needn't have been made at all. How is it relevant to the subject? It isn't. It is basically taking the worst of same-sex marriage opponents' talking points and misinformation and using it as a jump off point to start an article.

This is my point exactly- I have decided to take the full article to my Intercultural communications Professor since she is an expert of language and its context and is very knowledgeable about hate speech and discriminatory inferences before I do anything else
