So this whole gay rights decision pending in the courts right now really burns my bunghole...pun absolutely intended. I have been debating writing about this for awhile. I have run it by a few people and they have all cringed and suggested very nicely that I should not write about it, that people don't just put their religious and political views out there for the masses. Really because I thought that is what Facebook and celebrities were for?...obviously I listened! Doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing I suppose...I feel convicted!
Disclaimer****I am by no means an expert on any of this subject matter so chillax if something isn't totally accurate...it serves its purpose for this little rant and is here just to get my point across...its close enough!
Let's take a little journey back to the past. America got the brilliant idea to enslave black people...that went well. Then our peeps decided that men were better than women...right that worked out! And don't even get me started on that whole no alcohol thing, COMPLETE DISASTER! Now we are hating on the gays. Really why do we care? We all know how this is going to turn out! History has proven we can't hold down our fellow citizens so why delay the inevitable?
A few of the more popular arguments against gay marriage:
"Let them do what they want, I just don't want them to destroy the sanctity of marriage." OK really!? So the divorce rate is a stupidly high number. Everyone who knows anyone knows peeps who have been divorced. I got hammered and remarried my hubby in Vegas a few years back...seriously Elvis was there and it was totally legit. We were smashed and had to prove nothing. There were no tests to pass other than one of us needed to have a penis and the other a vagina...then we signed on a line and BAM! we were hitched. Sanctity, schmanctity.
"The Bible says its wrong." First off the Bible says a lot of things depending on where you look and how you interpret it. Secondly, if Americans are so worried about religion being a factor then how are peeps that are not Christians allowed to marry? What about people that are GASP!! atheists or agnostics? If this is your argument than a ton of peeps should no longer be allowed to marry. Furthermore, what about all the people who have non-religious ceremonies? Hmm? Huh? How is that allowed?
"The traditional family will be destroyed along with the children." OMG this ship has sailed! The traditional family done been gone. There are so many step-mothers, step-fathers, boyfriends, girlfriends, single parents, grandparents, and yes gay people raising children it is not even funny. Divorce, never marrying in the first place, teen pregnancy, gay peeps, and older single women doing in vitro with sperm donors has already "destroyed" the traditional family. Who is to say that the traditional family is the best thing anyway? Yes kids flourish with both a loving mom and dad in the house. Do they not with a loving grandparent, single mom, etc...the key here is love not gender. There are sadly tons of traditional family homes with terrible mothers and/or fathers...is that better than having two mommies or daddies? Really? So we are saying that our beautifully, efficient and effective foster care system is a better place for kids than with two peeps of the same sex? Just wow!
"They have chosen the wrong path and these are the repercussions." Yes all of the gay people in the world woke up one day and decided that they wanted to be persecuted and judged and screwed by all the straight people. They chose to be gay and its a simple matter of choosing to switch back. Well straight sir you go play with a penis for awhile (no not your own, that doesn't count), and straight madam you go play with a vagina for awhile, and tell me how natural that felt to you. If it is simply a choice then it should be easy to do and then you can simply switch back...right? RIGHT?
And what about all the bi-sexual people in this world? Are they given a free pass to have everyone as long as when it comes time to marry and get tax breaks they choose the opposite sex? Man some of them are going to be really lucky and some are going to be really pissed when they finally love someone enough to marry them...or not depending on which sex they choose.
When are we going to learn? There are too many haters out there. We all need to chill out and quit being so judgy! Give the poor gay masses their tax breaks already! I am honestly not quite sure what business the government has giving out tax breaks because we signed a piece of paper, but I will definitely take it! Yes please! And shame on you if you read this and didn't find it humorously dripping with sarcasm and puns...I recently saw a quote on Facebook that said something along the lines of "You find this inappropriate? I find it hilarious...that's why I am happier than you are." Quit being so serious and laugh a little more...jeez!
