I’ve got to say that I think Jewel and Christine hit the nail on the head with their comments concerning my article on Gay Marriage rights. Thanks for the comments, as they truly bring to light, the darkness that falls upon those who are perceived to be beyond the “sexual norm”.
I was watching CNN today and caught that lovely man, Anderson Cooper, interviewing one for and one against - gay marriage. It was a compelling argument and I thought it interesting that Cooper (an openly gay man) moderated the interview. However, at one point both sides of the argument got out of control and they started yelling over each other. It has become evident that those for gay marriage must speak louder or shout over the religious right - at every chance they get. Gay men and women can’t even seem to get a word in edgewise, as the religious right keep pummeling away at them with the Bible. The “good book” is used at every turn to justify the “hatred” and the “foundation” of that “hatred” at those who have done nothing against God or country.
Went to God
As I sit and watch the “elders” of the religious right fade into the past (or die and join their God) I can only applaud that they are no longer among the living, spewing forth a “hate” message toward a people who simply want to be recognized as not gay, bisexual, trans-gender or anything else but, human beings who have every right to be who they are and live in peace.
Gay couples should not have to hold quasi-marriage ceremonies or partner parties in “secret” or in foreign countries (or only in states that allow gay marriage) to have that relationship be legally recognized. There is no supreme being or court in the land that can dictate who can marry whom.
It's not good when cousins marry
OK, don’t want cousins to marry? Well, there goes half the royal family and their blue blood. I can understand brothers and sisters not being able to marry or those who are underage, however, where does one draw the line? Let’s see, not too long ago in a land not far away, if you were a black man in this country and wanted to marry a white woman, you could be hanged from the nearest tree. If you were from the south, you might as well have strung yourself up from the nearest tree for even having the notion of entering an inter-racial marriage.
There’s a certain sect of Mormons that seem to have no problem with who they marry, just the amount of wives they can marry. Now, I can sit back and give 100’s of examples of questionable marriage ideas but, when it comes to gay marriage, it’s deemed an abomination by those who have a big mouth and small mind.
The hate emails and comments I have received concerning gay marriage, have numbered into the dozens and they are all from God’s people. God’s people? Just who are God’s people? Could those be the ones who dress up in their Sunday best and head to church every chance they get to be redeemed? Are those the ones who need a confessional to “get off” with their local pastor, priest or some other Godly individual who fills them full of fear for their mortal souls? How about those morons on television who spew the same crap each and every Sunday to a group of followers who’s only purpose is to supply the cash for satellite air time and a big ass temple for God?
That’s the problem with the religious right in this country, they are simply sheep. They can be herded to the left or, to the right. They have no mind of their own and therefore can be easily brainwashed with the “good book” and the lame interpretations of those passages - to a literal conclusion. They can sin all they want (in private) and simply be cleansed of their sins the very next day. Now, I’ve not even spoken about the Charismatic Christians and the fanatics, as we know what they’re all about. No doubt, these are the sinners, the righteous, the most pious and the highest of the high that go out and vote against an issue that has nothing to do with them. These are the people who stick together and claim they are “God’s People” and as such, they set policy.
Our German friend at the Vatican is helping things right along as well. Needless to say, one has to look no further than the Catholic Church for hypocrisy - they’ve got that one covered. The Catholic church has done nothing but, to drive its own people away from its own beliefs. Again, we have the “good book” at work and the man behind the curtain setting policy - excuse me, a former member of the party.
Sex is good, it’s righteous, it’s what we all do in the privacy of our bedrooms. Whether you’re straight, gay, bisexual or simply bananas, everyone does it and it’s about time that it’s taken out of equation of gay marriage. This is all about who’s diddling who. If you’re two men or two women, don’t diddle. In fact, if all gay people promised to never have sex with each other again, what would the outcome of the next vote on gay marriage be? Would it be OK if gay be people got married if they promised not to diddle each other? OK, we’ll masturbate but, we won’t diddle around - would that work for the hetero-religious right? No, I don’t think so. I think that in my lifetime I will see a black man in the White House but, that’s as far as we’ll progress as a society. I think that those who are black, who think they’ll advance because of Obama - will be sorely disappointed when they’re held back by those in this country - who will continue to dictate policy, who will decide what’s right, who’s wrong and that change is nothing more than an illusion.
