2 Couples Make Case for Gay Rights in Landmark Trial - Sphere News
I find it pretty ridiculous that this is still an issue. We are in 2010, we have a black President, I live in a city that recently elected it's first openly gay Mayor into office, I have both male and female friends that are gay and never once has race, sexual preference, gender, age, nationality, religion or any other characteristic had any effect on my thought process for these people. I don't really understand why so many politicians are strongly in opposition to gay marriage, I mean lets look back to how many sex scandals have come out of Washington. Some of them are even...dare I say it...GAY sex scandals! If you ask me, I would say that maybe we should reevaluate heterosexual marriages and the lack of respect for them. We almost daily see stories on the news about how some big Hollywood movie star, Athlete and Politician have committed adultery, but yet these are the people that DESERVE to be married? Lets think about this, How often do we see any stories about gay couples in the media being scandalous with their relationships? Not often if at all. The only time I hear of Gays in the news is when they are fighting for their right to make their uncontroversial relationships legal.
I don't even feel like religion and the values this Country was founded on should be used in the argument against same sex marriage. Did we use religion and values when putting thousands of soldiers over seas to kill and be killed? I thought the Bible said we are suppose to "Turn the other cheek". What about when our President got oral sex from an intern? Pretty sure the Bible states we shouldn't commit adultery either. Then their is the whole topic of what about the "kids", parents don't want their children to grow up thinking this is acceptable behavior for two men or two women to be together. So I suppose that the top Athlete in the world, Tiger Woods, cheating on his wife with numerous strippers and skanks is acceptable behavior. Its funny to see what we as a society deem as "acceptable behavior".
I think same sex marriage should just be made legal nationwide and those people we "trust" to make the "right" decisions for us up on capitol hill should worry about more important issues. We have wars going on, terrorists, healthcare, global warming, OUR ECONOMY! Stop with this "Holier than thou" BS and Do something about all the REAL evil going on in the world.
