I wasn't recruited. I'd never heard of a bisexual when I realized I was one. And everyone I've ever met from a gay family was straight so...either we're really bad at recruiting, or we don't actually have to. I'm going to go with that second one.

I wonder if any of those things might be directly related to depression amongst gays caused by BEING TREATED LIKE FUCKING SHIT THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.

Actually, most of these are well supported statistics. What Turbo Pig doesn't realize is that he's actually making an argument against MEN in general, and not just gays. Men more often commit domestic violence, and men are more likely to be successful in suicide attempts. So, if we take Turbo Pig at his word we should ban all men from marrying and only lesbian marriage should be allowed.

Um, 85% of domestic violence cases are male against female (male being the aggressor). That leaves 15% of domestic violence cases to be shared among female against male (female being the aggressor), male against male and female against female.
You're math skills are a bit off dear.

You know what I like about the "domestic violence" argument? I can come back immediately with the fact that men are incredibly more likely to engage in domestic violence than women -- should men not be allowed to marry?
HIgher rate of std's...Lesbians are least likely to contract anything sexually. So can we let them get married?
Higher rate of suicide...Well gay people are depressed, so let's keep ostracizing them! That makes sense
Offspring -- orphanages are OVERFLOWING and you want people to keep procreating?

Even if anything you said was even remotely true, then how is being different a bad thing? If any of it was true, they'd be hurting no one but themselves, so what's it to you?
A family is a group of people who loves one another and respects each other's differences irrespective of their discrete sexual orientations.
One more thing, can you link us to that documented evidence you've cited?

I'm sure others have done a better job, but in order to vent my frustration, I think I'll take a crack at this...
Except for the higher rate of documented "domestic" violence between gay couples…
[Citation needed]
and the higher documented rate of suicide in gay relationships…
Perhaps this is because they have to listen to idiots like you telling them they're going to hell, and just basically treating them like sub-human manure?
and the higher rate of STDs amongst gays…
And once again god has terrible aim. Let's see: All-powerful; yet if he wants to punish gay people he can't make a disease that ONLY affects them, and not heterosexual males and females?
the fact that EVERY "gay" family can not be sustained unless the recruit offspring…
Well, if heterosexuals stopped breeding, that would take care of the gay "problem", as most gay people I know come from a heterosexual couple. Guess if you want to blame someone, blame the straights.
In closing, stop posting on the internet.

Actually, there's a higher documented rate of abuse in MEN. And I say this as a man. To echo prior statements, does this mean we should only allow women to marry?
...and the higher documented rate of suicide in gay relationships...
But it's totally nothing to do with people like you ostracizing us, disowning us, treating us like we barely even deserve to exist, and that we should be happy you deign to do that...no, no, it's totally our thing, and our own unhappiness that magically appears from nowhere at all. Not to say that it's ENTIRELY the religious right, but you guys own much, much more of it than you realize.
...and the higher rate of STDs amongst gays...
According to what sources? Because if I'm not mistaken, straight women are among the fastest rising new infection rates...
...and the fact that EVERY "gay" family can not be sustained unless the recruit offspring...
Y'know, normal people have a different name for this. Say it with me..."adoption." Y'know, finding a child that would normally float through the system, giving it a happy stable home...?
...where as the norm, hetro families will be sustained through the natural pro-creation and according to the great plan.
Which is why heterosexual families never, ever adopt. I mean why would they even try, with such a lack of children seeking loving homes...it would be folly...
Yeah, I'd say they are almost exactly the same, except for all that other stuff that makes them completely different.
Except here's the thing. All these things happen in heterosexual couples, too. So either lay off us, or petition for a flat out ban on marriage. Because what's good for the goose...

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!?
What, do they slap each other frantically or something (sorry gays!)? Even in your own stereotype-laden mind that's retarded.

The rate of REPORTED violence is higher, but raw numbers and percentages are about the same. The higher rate of suicide is because of hate crime and idiots like you who make people feel like life isn't worth living. The higher rate of STDs is a complete lie. Look at the statistics yourself. And finally, you forget that many hetero couples can't have children either. Or did you forget infertility and old age in your grand equation?
The only thing that's different is the biological sex of the two people in the couple.

Gay marriage
My concern is that more and more gay men get STD. It seems that gay men is easier to get an STD.
According to the report from the largest STD dating site == Positivefish.com ==(if I spell the site correctly), the gay subscribers
increased continually. Most of them are sexy.

Do you have a point, or are you just echoing the "Gays get STDs so they don't deserve marriage" sentiment?

[citation needed]

Well, maybe if you'd stop telling them they're scum every single time you see them, they wouldn't have that problem.
and the higher rate of STDs amongst gays,
Lesbians have a much lower chance of catching STDs. The chance of gay men getting STDs is most likely higher because of the fact that few of them use a condom because, well, they're not gonna get pregnant, right? Furthermore, if you're going to speak out against gays for having higher rates of getting STDs, you may as well do the same for blacks and Native Americans. But oops! That'd be discrimination, right?
and the fact that EVERY "gay" family can not be sustained unless the recruit offspring,
So infertile couples are immoral too?
where as the norm, hetro families will be sustained through the natural pro-creation and according to the great plan.
Every single problem you listed there is a problem heterosexuals have to face as well to some extent.

Which obviously has nothing to do with sanctimonious assholes like you.
and the higher rate of STDs amongst gays
Only true with very selective evidence.
the fact that EVERY "gay" family can not be sustained unless the recruit offspring
Not this shit again! Gay does not equal child molester, no matter how often you lie about it.

You have all this documentation readily available, I hope.
Why the scare quotes around domestic? If you live in the same household, regardless of marital status and genders involved, what goes on in there is domestic.
What do you mean by "EVERY gay family can not be sustained unless the[sic] recruit offspring"? There are many heterosexual families who also adopt, because the natural pro-creation and great plan isn't working that well. My family, consisting of a heterosexual human couple and two cats, is sustained without offspring. Sure, it will die with us, but we have six nieces and nephews between us, and might get more later on, so our extended family will live on.
I bet the rate of suicide in gay relationships is lower in Sweden or the Netherlands (for example) than it is in the Bible Belt in the US. (I'm not saying that the situation in Sweden or the Netherlands is ideal either, just that we've come a little bit further.)
