Ok Pandora...I can't believe you're actually going to make me stick up for Rosie O'Donald. There will be consequences...
Gay Marriage.
There it is. I just spat it out there for you all to see. I'm gonna do it again...
Gay Marriage.
Did it hurt to read that? Did God come down and cover your eyes? Well, I didn't hear any thunder so maybe God isn't all that concerned. Republicans are.
Why is this even an issue for presidential debate? Aren't we dedicated to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Evidently not, considering the vast amount of political rhetoric for and against.
This cold world of ours can be a pretty shitty place sometimes. We all stumble around, hoping to find that one person that completes us and helps give meaning to our lives. Why should gay people want it any less that heteros? I know, I know, I've heard all the crappola about how it threatens traditional values, will place a burden on health care and spouce death benefits. That's all nothing but a cop out.
It's bigotry folks. Plain and simple.
"God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!" Well dear children, if you're a strict believer in the Bible, technically, God did make Adam and Steve. You just get irky when thinking about Adam bending over Steve. No matter how nasty and wrong you may think it is, Steve likes it. Can't imaging getting bent over by anybody but Adam. Loves him with all his heart. If it had been Adam bending over Eve, y'all would be cheering and telling the happy couple they needed to get hitched. Adam and Steve, on the other hand, can't. Oh sure, they can have a civil union. Marriage Lite, if you will. Tastes great, less inconvenient.
If anyone is even out there, reading this, other than Pandora, How is a traditional marriage threatened by this? I fail to see it. But then again, my own track record with marriage and long term relationships kinda sucks, so I'll grant you. I might be missing something. I think two men or two women have the same right as I do to get hitched, discover they've made a horrible mistake and be miserable, just the same as any man/woman union.
Think about it this way... If the Rainbow Coalition ran the world and refused to let hetero couples marry, but have civil unions, can you imagine the roar of protest?
Folks, happiness is such an amazingly rare thing. Finding someone you want to wake up with every day for the rest of your life is a jewel beyond price. Where is the compassion, the morality, of denying it to people just because they are gay? Are we heteros really that damned insecure?? Evidently we are.
And the conservative republicans are leading the fight to deny people that right. And if a conservative shrugs and says he or she doesn't have a problem with it, it's whispered that the person must be >gasp!< a liberal!
Come on guys.. put your heads out of your tight conservative asses and really look around. Is it worth building a political career on the back of people whom you've told aren't good enough to be married?
Glad I'm an independent now...
