A Response to the lastest Lunacy
One of these things is not like the others
One of these things just doesn’t belong
Which one is not like the others
before I finish this song….
a) # 1 - freedom of speech
b) # 13 - anti-slavery
c) # 15 & # 19 & #25 & # 26– right to vote
d) # 28 – banning of same sex marriage
I’ll give you a moment.
Tum tum tum te de tum.
La la la.
You got it?
Already?
Clever sticks! That’s right - D! D the “hateful” amendment. Where we “protect” the institution of marriage between heteros.
One question.
How exactly does it protect heterosexual marriage? Where’s the threat, exactly?
That’s not two questions, that’s more of a part a and part b.
Because for the life of me, I cannot understand how bush is trying to protect marriage from “activist judges” by becoming an “activist” president and restricting actions of private citizens based on some religious criteria that is a personal choice, for him. I am a born again Christian and I do not subscribe to this sort of hate-filled paperwork. It does not keep these sorts of families from existing, it just pushes them to the fringe, so that children and families suffer. When a parent cannot claim to be a parent legally, this really screws up the entire system of stability that every child needs. Not wants. NEEDS. Children need to be protected.
This will not stop homosexuals from loving one another, or keep them from forming unions and having children and living the American Dream. Nothing will stop that. That is God’s work, regardless of what anyone thinks. Love is hard enough to find and hold onto without society clucking its collective tongue and wagging its proverbial finger in derogatory judgment. God mandated that we love each other. I, personally, believe that we are to embrace ALL people.
It is so silly how the false argument of “oh, ok then. What about guys who want to marry their goats? Or these freaks that want to marry little kids? I guess that’s ok too. Slippery slope, babe, slippery slope.” gets thrown around.
Sigh.
What exactly does that mean? That a lesbian couple is somehow the same as a guy and a farm animal? Is that the most ridiculous thing anyone has ever uttered? Why do we have to sexualize everything? I understand that the extremes in the gay culture make it about leather bottomless chaps and nipple rings, but that’s not what’s at the heart of this entire group of people. These people are you and me. These guys want what every other human being wants. They want to be able to find out how their loved one is doing in the hospital. They want to be able to stay with them and hold their hand during the most critical and stressful time in their lives. They want to be seen by everyone as a viable couple – as two who have come before God and all those that they know and say “we love each other. We commit to each other. We are as one.”
I find it beautiful. On the elliptical torture device at the gym, every time a clip of a gay marriage was shown today prior to the idiot reading his pathetic attempt to reclaim his base, even without the sound, it brings a smile to my face. Love is beautiful. Between consenting adults, it is the most natural and warming feeling in the world. Maybe gay people can show us how to do it. Face incredible odds, public condemnation and cruelty, swim the tide of opposition, yet still smile knowingly to each other and cling eternally together. I say “screw you!” to the neocons who have put this on the table. You’re just jealous because you will never find what they have.
You will never have the moral fortitude and gumption to stand against the opposition and follow your heart.
Rock on gay brothers and lesbian sisters – I vote no to that crappy amendment.
