A few weeks ago on Facebook I noticed that everyone was joining a group or club or whatever it is titled "If you don't believe in gay marriage, don't get one." I thought this was rather funny and posted a comment about it, and I thought I'd also post a comment about it on here.
I think if people want to get married they should be allowed to. They eat, drink, sleep and live together, why not allow them to make the same mistake straight people are allowed to? If they want to get married and be miserable like the rest of us ... MORE POWER TO THEM.
The hardcore crowd will start, at this point, bringing up sanctity of marriage ... "Oh what about the sanctity of marriage? They will destroy the very fabric of our reality if they are allowed to say a few words and put a circular piece of metal on each others hand." BULLSHIT.
The sanctity of marriage lost its bearings and went out the window with the advent of Drive Thru Elvis Chapels and same day divorces. How sanctified is an institution when you can pull up in your car to the window of a building, repeat a few words spoken by an over-weight, oily haired, guy in a sequin jumpsuit, and then drive straight to the nearest courthouse and have it annuled?
Honestly I'm not for it or against it, I really just don't care and I don't understand why otherwise sensible people get all worked up about it. If people worried more about their own lives and less about what the neighbor is doing (or who the neighbor is doing). then things would be alot better in this country and the world for that matter. Really folks ... if gay people want to get married and be miserable like the rest of us, who are we to deny them that choice?
And before we return to our regularly schedualed programming, I wanted to leave you with a couple pictures of the "sanctity of marriage".
I think this is mostly an issue for religious fanatics. If the life partner you choose is the same gender, you should be able to make the same legal commitment as everyone else. However, I don't think everyone is miserable!
ReplyDeleteOf course not everyone is miserable, I'm never miserable when your around ... how could I possibly be miserable with you there to tease and pick on?
