Protecting the Sacntiy of Marriage.... oops... I mean Divorce!
Edited on Fri Sep-05-08 01:05 PM by demdog78
After watching the video at the bottom of this post, I felt compelled to write this.

People like that... I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for them because their own lives must be so empty. They have to be. Why else would they have such concern over what other people are doing?

They can never answer this one question.

How does two men or women being gay affect YOUR marriage/relationship?

The answer is ALWAYS "It devalues the sanctity of marriage."

Really?
I mean... Really?

The "sactity of marriage."

Huh.

How? How does who "I" sleep with have ANYTHING to do with your marriage?

How? How? How? How? How? How? How? How? How?

You never get a "straight" answer. You get a bunch of bull-shit they make up from the bible.

You get that is not natural, despite the FACT that EVERY other species has homosexuality.

As far as protecting the "sactity of marriage" that is a straw man argument. If marriage was so damn special and a sactimonious occasion that we wouldn't have the divorce rates we have.

Sanctity of marriage my ass! If anything the are protecting the sanctity of divorce.

It's so disgusting. If ANYONE is acting immoral it is people like that jackass.

And as far as the "you're not born gay" argument... how the fuck would he know? Unless you are, how would you know.

The way I see it, you love who you love. And quite frankly, I fail to see the need for labels in the first place.

The only real "choice" peole have in it is this.

Do you choose to be happy or do you choose to be miserable. Do you choose to live a life where you can express love the way you KNOW you feel, or do you choose to live a life hiding your emotions and feeling empty?

That is the ONLY choice.

Like I said... You love who you love. And NO love is bad.

I have had a couple of friends who actually killed themselves out of misery because they could not deal with the scrutiny of people like this ass-hole. He is a disgrace to the human race, and in the end he will get exactly what he deserves.

I hope I didn't offend anyone with any of that. And if there is ANY doubt as to where I stand, I support 100% EQUAL rights for EVERY person, regarless of their sexuality.

1. Beautiful post - NO love is bad
Saw a couple bumper stickers recently:

"Don't like gays? Then don't marry one!"
and
"Preserve the sanctity of marriage - ban divorce!"
