Same Sex Marriages

Whether same sex marriages should be legal or not has been up for debate for quite awhile now. I have yet to understand why this is a big deal and wasting air space on my television. I'm not a huge fan of marriage in general, but if two people are in love and want to commit to each other legally, what difference does it make if they are of the same sex? Why is it your business if your neighbors are two lesbians or homosexual men? Do you think that they would approve of your hypocritical religious beliefs, that your spouse cheats on you, your children are abused or that your Alzheimer's afflicted grandfather keeps escaping the house and terrorizing the neighbor's cat? It's none of your business what goes on behind closed doors. In fact it's none of your business if gay people show physical affection in public either. Why is it good enough for you and not them?

I know why the general public is not comfortable with this. They are afraid that if their children see two women kissing that that act alone will force them to pay thousands in psychiatric care to keep their overprotected brat from becoming "GAY". Oooh, that's scary. Or maybe it's because the general public is not secure in their own sexuality that they can't possibly accept any lifestyle that they consider to be out of the "norm". Ooooh, ooooh, don't forget the Bible...we all know how sacred the writings in that piece of crap are...Adam and Eve weren't gay...or was it Adam and Steve? Now the general public wasn't there in good old B.C. so how would they actually know who the first people on this planet were. Don't forget that Mary was a virgin. If that's the case then we know that she didn't have sex with Joseph, so was she a lesbian and God punished her with artificial insemination?

I find it amusing that a man and woman can marry and divorce as many times as they like. They can collect life insurance benefits, have kids together, pull the plug on each other in a life and death decision and walk down the aisle in a formal legal ceremony. Do you know why? Because one of them has a penis and one has a vagina. Two vaginas and two penis's cannot legally walk down the aisle and marry. It's pretty clear that our Bible thumpers and government think only below the waist.

I believe that people are born gay, straight or bi-sexual. I don't believe that they need to be "changed" in any way. A person's lifestyle is what it was meant to be and it wasn't meant for the bored to sit around and judge. Other's lifestyles and choices are also not there for the general public to decide what's right or wrong and press forward with laws to suit their own uptight needs. If you have the right to live life with the person you choose and the way that you choose, then lesbians and homosexuals have the absolute right to do the same.

Gay relationships prove to be longer lasting, more loving and trusting. They raise children to be decent, respectable human beings and educate their children to let them be who they were meant to be...gay or not. They love each other, their kids and families unconditionally. I think that the straight laced, uptight, "perfect people" could learn a few lessons from a gay relationship. I'm sure that they are not all perfect relationships but they sure fight a lot harder to keep theirs together, than the average "straight" couple does.

Give them their marital rights. Give them their equal rights as equal human beings to live the lifestyle that the average "straight" couple takes for granted.
