I’ve never been interested in politics. Hell I still don’t give a shit really. Ultimately, I know im not an ideal citizen of this country. Buuuuuuuut for the longest time, I was always confused why people are opposed to gay marriage.
Yes, the bible says blah blah blah about homosexuality blah blah blah. God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve… (by the way, if people use this as argument against gay marriage, they should go kill themselves, cuz this really doesn’t prove anything.) And quite frankly, how many of you follow every letter of the bible? Some take it too literally, some just don’t take it at all. Depending on how its interpreted, some people will believe that indeed that is what is intended. To me it just seems like the gay thing and the abortion thing are the only things that the“hardcore” Christians or followers of GOD/Jesus seem to have a problem with in current policy. I’m sure im missing some other points but again I don’t want to get into a religious debate so I’ll stop the bible talk here.
So back to the gays…
Look in all honesty, I don’t have many close gay friends. And my knowledge of the plight of the gays is very limited. I do call certain friends gay not because they have boners for naked firefighters but because sometimes they do stupid shit. Hell, when I was younger, calling someone or something gay wasn’t necessarily talking about their sexual orientation. “Dude this new phone is soooooo gay.” Not saying this phone literally sucks dick or takes dick for that matter, rather it meant that the phone was not a good one. “Dude, quit being gay” does not mean, hey you know how you like penis in the ass? Yea stop that… It just meant yo stop being whack.
Sure, I am sure there are better terms but I am not as socially conscious to change my speech pattern to be politically correct. So what am I getting at…
Why are people opposed to gay marriage?
Not letting gay folks marry is oppression due to their beliefs. Correct me if im wrong but I think this country was founded because people were oppressed because of their beliefs. Hell I was told as a child that this is the land of the free. Sure that meant something different for women and black folks throughout the history of this country but we eventually got it right.
I am not saying that this will eliminate homophobia. Just like the end of segregation, did not stop racism against minorities. But hampering citizens of this country to be equal really goes against what this country was founded on.
Sure there are many times I am disappointed in this country that I was born in and am a citizen of. Jersey Shore, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Arizona, are a few topics I can point at and feel a little embarrassed for the US. But ideally, this country’s system is pretty good. Sure it can be better but there is no such thing as a perfect political system.
In all seriousness, it really doesn’t affect any heterosexual’s life. It wont change my day at all if 2 dudes get married at all. Hell it doesn’t change my day if to dudes blow each other or two chicks lick each others balloon knots. Nothing changes for me. So whats the big fuss? Whether or not you agree with homosexuality, you can’t tell me that a homosexual is less of a person than the hetero next to em.
Here is Louis CK on the subject…
Banning their marriage wont stop em from being gay. So quit being gay and let em get married and have the tax benefits that comes with the marriage.
