Yet, another state loses the race. I just don’t understand. Voters in Maine decided this week that they do not want to legalize gay marriage. I am truly shocked simply because all of the states in New England are allowing gay marriage except for this one. All of the religious right wing assholes are coming out in full force now. I was watching Margaret Cho’s new show the other night and she made a very good point. She said that no right wing religious freak has any gay friends so they would never have to see it or get invited to the wedding so what the hell is the problem? Why do straight people think that gay people will affect them in any way? It’s not like gay people walk around with signs or display their sexuality. There is no different between a straight person and a gay person. We all have the same parts and the same minds and morals and some may even have the same wacky religious beliefs. So why the hell does it affect you? Guess what, it doesn’t. Me wanting to marry a woman does not affect any straight person in any way, shape, or form. It infuriates me that anyone would think that it does.
I also watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy for the first time and it happened to be about a daughter whose father did not accept her because she was dating a woman. He sat her down with a priest to “pray the gay away” and her father started receipting bible verses at her and she recited some back that showed that being gay isn’t a sin. Come on religious freaks. Open your stupid little minds. If marrying someone of the same sex makes you happy, than be happy! Don’t let anyone stop you. Come on Obama. Stick up for the people who voted for you because you promised change.
* steps down from soap box *
When will people see that preventing same sex couples from marrying is base discrimination?
ReplyDeleteThis country was founded by men who shouted for freedom in their capitol while keeping slaves at their homes. I thought that we had learned our lesson about hypocrisy then, but we are clearly re-learning it again now.
Freedom is equal for all, America. What do you stand to lose by letting *everyone* have that?
