Gay Marriage

As time passes it seems to be that things that were looked at as taboo in the past have become more accepted in everyday life. With this being the 21st century some things are more agreed upon then they ever were. Think about it, we see two men or two women walking down the sidewalk holding hands; we do not care, usually. Everybody is trying to be the open-minded, popular, easy to get along with person who does not mind what or who you are. This is especially true with the younger generations of America. With this “acceptance” that Americans claim to have for homosexual couples, it surely seems to be lacking in the marriage category, you know the category that actually counts. This unstable commitment towards the acceptance of their happiness could be a result of several things. A main one of these reasons is that our country is regulated and ran predominately by elderly, homophobic, male politicians; who coincidently seem to keep getting caught in the restroom with other males. Back to the point though, I am sure that these men have been married for so long that they obviously think that anyone who desires marriage as much as these homosexual couples must be a lunatic. Something else to take into consideration is that Christianity is the main religion in our country, and the bible is against homosexuality. Obviously these politicians just want to look proficient to the majority of the population. Gee, that’s some separation between the church and state. Honestly, these bible-thumping bigots love saying that marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman, and the only reason to be married is to procreate and populate our planet. With this reason for marriage in our minds, why are the men and women who are not capable of reproducing allowed to wed while homosexuals still cannot? This sounds an awful lot like a double standard to me. I would also like to state that there are enough bratty, imp-like children trotting around our country and every couple does not need to add to this growing amount of these miniature terrorists.

  1. Hi AllyCakes,

    The double standard in the good ole USA is very "American", unfortunately. Many people here say one thing and are doing another and will lie to your face about it, and deny it when confronted. I know many gay couples and support gay marriages here in Arizona. I feel for those couples whom I know who cannot be legally married here. That is not to say they aren't committed, some have held their own "private" ceremonies and are holding to their vows. However, they are not legally married with the economic benefits that go along with marriage. I hope someday we as a species can get out of the dark ages and be the humane, social, and liberal public society I think we should be.
