Forget all the governmental and religious mumbo jumbo. Because really? I’m really vague on why they should factor in on this particular equation anyways. It makes not one iota of sense to me.
My whole young life, I was around gay people. My parents were heavily into antique collecting…so there goes the stereotype about the antique business being saturated by homosexuals…it’s not. But, antiques make gay people happy the same as it makes straight people happy. I don’t know, it’s pretty stuff. Why not?
Some of my parents good friends were couples that consisted of two men. To me, it was perfectly normal, acceptable and honestly, I didn’t think twice about it.
Silly me, I just always assumed they were married. I never, EVER…until recently even, realized that they weren’t because they were NOT ALLOWED TO BE.
WHAT? Not be ALLOWED to get married?
Two people love each other. They decide they want to spend their lives together, fight together, go to bed and hold hands and talk for hours together, somehow have children together, travel…do things that married couples do…
Then who the heck cares if the couple consists of two men, two women, two different races…etc.
How is that a church issue? Or a state issue? I’d say that both entities have other BIGGER issues to worry about then who is having sex with whom.
It’s about love. And being HUMAN.
This whole bit about insurance, benefits and ENTITLEMENTS…
What should there be any difference between my marriage and marriage between two of the same sex?
Marriage is marriage.
IT MAKES NO SENSE.
Two people who love each other are two people who love each other.
Really? Why does anyone think it’s their right to impose their simple-minded fear of something that, from the outside, looks different…on everyone else?
They shouldn’t.
If you don’t like it, don’t hang around it.
It’s as simple as that.
Here’s a video that shares your sentiment – as stated by the Real Housewives of New Jersey (go figure!).

It all (churchy and statey stuff) seems like much ado about nothing, doesn’t it? As one comedian said, “They should be allowed to be miserable just like the rest of us!” 🙂

TOTALLY off topic, LOVE THE NEW HEADER.
and I agree…who cares…if two men or two women want to marry each other…who really cares? I don’t. Let them.

People should be able to marry who they want, no matter their gender.
It’s utterly ridiculous that two people in a committed relationship can’t get married because they are the same gender. It’s crap. I agree- the gov’t has bigger fish to fry.
Jill´s last blog post ..Random late night bandwagon jumping
I for one would totally marry you, and I believe *everyone* should have the same rights, not just those who can give birth. Love the new theme btw, I haven’t been around in awhile 🙂

YES. It baffles the mind.

I’d say that ‘consenting adults’ is good baseline principle for pretty much everything. Beyond that, it’s nosey rosey and control-freaky nonsense.
This was a line in an episode of Law and Order that was about gay marriage:
“I say let them marry. Why shouldn’t they be as miserable as the rest of us?”
In all seriousness, it’s complete crap. It is a religious issue and our government has no business using religious beliefs as a basis for law. Period.

I agree. Its an issue people have because their religion tells them its wrong, or they think they have “better” morals than the rest of us.
Love is not about gender, its about compatibility and mutual respect ect…
Lets not worry about what other do as long as its not hurting us. Marriage between two consenting adults of legal age who happen to be the same gender, is not anything people need to be up in arms about. Its ridiculous that people feel they can force their prejudice on others.
