In the article, “Ten Arguments Against Same Sex Marriage,” nogaymarriage.com is trying to persuade readers by using ten arguments why you should be against gay marriage. The author has a very detailed viewpoint about gay marriage. They say that same sex marriage will decay families, lead to polygamy, teach children perversion, spread quickly to other countries, and that the culture will be anti-Christian. Each argument has detailed evidence that supports what they are saying. The authors uses cause and effect to show the cause of same sex marriage and its effect on the country. For example, they say that because gay marriage is coming around and being legalized, children as young as kindergarten will have to learn about same sex marriage in a textbook. The authors don’t speak of anything that goes against their belief of no same sex marriage, because they have their firm belief. They chose words like “traditional” and “undergo.” They could’ve used more positive words, but since they have a strong bias, they used more negative words. They used ethos by stating ten arguments that go against gay marriage. They think these are the only reasons that count because their bias is so strong.
I don’t really know a lot about the authors. The article is from nogaymarriage.com, so the author’s must not care for same sex marriage. There is no date, so I can’t be sure whether or not this is a reliable source.

  1. I never thought of this argument as being THAT extreme. I'm glad to see this view point because I've never seen such an advocate for it as the author of that article, but at the same time it makes me wonder just how many people think like that, you know?
