Here was mine…
My sister and her ex-husband spent $40,000.00 on their lawyer expenses over egos. Do I want to go through that as a gay male, no… but it should be my decision not yours. I knew she shouldn’t have married the guy but it wasn’t up to me to make that decision, it was hers. I don’t have the right to tell straight people not to get married nor would I want it. What gives some straight people the thought that they have the right to determine my “marital status”? If I ever decided that I wanted to get married it should be my and my partners decision alone and not anyone else’s. Also, Technically (and legally) it is unconstitutional because it is denying equal rights to all citizens. It is also hypocritical as a nation to portray how it treats everyone equally but imposes inequality within it’s laws. And, if it’s a religious decision (subconcious or conscious) by straight citizens then they are being hypocritical because they are going against the seperation of church and state. It’s the only conclusion that you can come up with as why they are so opposed to it and that’s how they rationalize their opposition for it. The older I get the more I realize that the greatest problem that this country is facing is it’s incessant need to try to control everyone else, not only the government but also the populace. And it’s the result of our arrogance because we’ve been “numero uno” over the last 70 years. What happens when another human being continually tries to control another, resistence. Even if this fails now it will pass in the future. Look at the strides that the gay community has made over the last 50 years, have we made considerable progress? I think so, compare now and then and make your own assessment. As generations change it will not be an issue at some point so I’m not worried. To all the straight people out there that have a problem with it, don’t we (as a nation) have bigger problems right now than to waste time, private; and tax money on this when we are in debt up to our behinds all ready? Really, ask yourself this… How would my marriage (if I did get married) hurt you or have any type of negative impact on your life???
