Hello all, once again, I am here to complain. I was reading all the latest gossip on E News! Online, and I came across an article that was written about an ad in the US concerning gay marriage. A storm is coming, they were saying. When I watched this, I was so completely stunned. The last century for society has been an amazing one with regards to civil rights and equality among everyone. Yet, we are still living in the middle ages with regards to homosexuals.
The question I pose to everyone today, is if it is okay for two heterosexual people to marry when they will most likely be divorced in the years to come, why is it not okay for to gay people? Well, the answer some narrow minded people would give me is that the ‘sanctity’ of marriage has to be protected and that it is only meant for a man and woman.
This is complete BULLSHIT. Most heterosexual couples that marry do not even UNDERSTAND what marriage means, and what it is supposed to represent. I am only 20, and I know that it is meant to be a union between two people that love each other, and determined to be together for the rest of the lives, through all the good and through all the crap happens in a marriage. But the thing is, most heterosexual couples do not have to fight to have the right to marry. No they can just get drunk and marry anyone is Vegas. It doesn’t really matter if they love the person, all that matters is it one of them is male and the other female. So when things get hard, it is easy to bail.
At least when two gay people want to marry, the commitment they have to sharing their life with their partner is evident. They have to fight and go to war with society to allow them to have this right. Give this challenge to every heterosexual couple that wants to marry and I guarantee you half of those engagements would not make it to alter. The drop in divorce rates would be phenomenal!
The sanctity of marriage means nothing these days, and to me that is sad. But what’s sadder is that hypocritical self righteous people are getting in the way of couples that truly are dedicated and loving of marrying.
I’m straight, and I am Catholic, and I can tell you now I hate the way people will use the Bible to protest against homosexuality. It honestly makes me sick. The idea of religion is to teach everyone about FAITH and LOVE. It is not there to judge others, which is something most religious groups do. IT MAKES ME SICK. Everyone is a human being, whether they like boys or girls does not change this fact. Its time people grew up, and just learnt to accept everyone for who they are.
