30 Days of Truth- Day 18

Day 18- Your views on gay marriage…

Simple really. ALL FOR IT. Why not? What do I care who gets married? Why is it suddenly any of my business who marries whom? I don’t have any input on hetero marriages, so why do I get to make the call in homosexual weddings?  I’ll never understand why this upsets so many closed minded people. Oh wait.  Yes, I do. The freakin bible. Ugh.

Without going too much into my views on that whole mess (because that’s day 19′s post) I will say that basing your reasons for this matter, or any matter,  is absurd and ridiculous and offensive and stupid and uneducated and really I could go on and on with other adjectives but I’ll stop here.  Really? A book, an old ficticious book says this is a no-no so you jump on board and condemn those who think otherwise to hell? Oh for the love. Spare me. Think for yourself.

Why is this a sin? Thats what I don’t understand. Love is love, people. If a man loves another man, then Mazel Tov! Embrace that love. Cherish it.  Love is a special gift. It’s rare and beautiful. Anyone who is fortunate enough to find it and keep it deserves the right to tell the world about it. Scream it from the rooftops.  Announce it with pride and share it with everyone.

One of my favorite comments that I hear the gay-scared heteros use in this argument is  “I don’t care what they do in the privacy of their own homes, but why do I have to see it?”.  Well loser, why do I have to see you fight with your wife at Wal-Mart? Why do I have to see your big fat hairy belly hanging over your pants? Why do I have to smell your BO? Why do I have to see your lovely wife with her mullet and stretch pants smack her kid in the face at McDonalds? Why is THAT behavior ok, but if my gay cousin wants to hold hands with his boyfriend you’ll freak the fuck out??? Explain this to me.  Because here is my response to an ignorant statement like that: guess what?  Sometimes in life we see stuff that we might not agree with, but so what? It’s life. We don’t all agree. There will always be “stuff” out there that we don’t like or side with. I hate black licorice. I don’t believe in its tastiness. Do I run out and hide it at all the stores that sell it? Do I protest outside black licorice factories? Do I call it names when I see it?  Do I start fights with anyone I see toting a box of Good N’ Plenty’s?  NO. I don’t care. I don’t like it, so I don’t eat it. End of story.

I have homosexuals in my family, in my friendships, and in my world. And I love them. They are no different from you or I. They’re people. They just watch a different kind of porn than I do. If they want to be married,  let them be married. Let them have children or adopt children. Let them have all the joy and heartbreak that comes with it. Let them experience all the ins and outs of marriage.  Let’s instead focus all that negative energy on people who deserve it- child molesters, rapists, murderers. The evil individuals in our existence that truly don’t deserve the same rights as the rest of us do. Take away their privileges. Take away their right to love openly. Leave the gays alone. They’re just gay.
