Let’s talk gay marriage. Why shouldn’t gays be allowed to be as miserable as the rest of us? But seriously, aren’t these people discriminated against enough already? And not just by lunk-heads with a junior high mentality but by society in general. Can you imagine being in a multi-decade relationship with a person and then not be allowed to visit them in the hospital because you are not “family”? How would that make you feel? All because you happen to be the same sex as the other person. What century is this, again?
I know there are many people out there who think of marriage as a sacred union between a husband and wife, which must be protected. Well I have news for you. The heterosexuals have made a mockery of your sacred union with their 50% divorce rate. Fifty percent! Doesn’t sound very sacred to me. If the “real” reason you oppose same sex marriage is to protect and preserve this sacred union, then perhaps some legislation making divorce illegal might be in order. Honestly, gay marriage would go a long way toward reducing that pathetic divorce rate.
But what about what “those people” do in their bedrooms? Easy answer; Mind your own business! If you’re really that concerned about what goes on in people’s bedrooms then you would be shocked to find out what some of your friends and neighbors are doing in their heterosexual bedrooms. There are a lot of freaky people out there. A lot.
Here’s an idea. You live your life the way you want to live it and let other people live their lives the way that they want to live. Stop judging everybody as if your own moral compass was so perfect. If you want to change people or control people then start with that person looking back at you in the mirror. If you take an honest look you should find enough faults to keep you busy for quite a while. But I digress.
One hundred years ago, women were not allowed to vote in this country. Today that seems absurd. Fifty years ago, inter-racial marriages were illegal in many states. My guess is that one hundred years from now, people will be equally amazed that gay human beings were discriminated against in this country for so long. My guess is that people just won’t be able to understand what all the fuss was about. What is all the fuss about?

Before you write an article like this, I have to wonder if you've ever researched "marriage" and where it comes from, and thereby what it absolutely stands for and what it doesn't stand for. If Marriage itself was created by God, to be a union between man and women, then a State or Nation for that matter, then have no say as to allow gays to marry. If God wanted man and man or women and women to mate together, then he would give life between them. Only a man and a woman can create life, therefore it is life giving to be heterosexual and not so much just about morals.
The minute you begin to take "family" and the "family unit" out of the equation you disrupt an entire nation and world. Gays do not care one bit about this, and these days it's all about "do whatever makes you feel good." Our God is a great God at that, and is tolerant, but he is a loving father and must admonish us when we are incorrect and when we think we can be like gods, such as Adam and Eve did from the original sin, he has no choice but to lovingly discipline us.
Our world and especially our US country, no longer have true discipline.

I just read your post and I have to be honest - I now know what a "Bobble-Head" watching a tennis match feels like. Do you really believe all that you wrote?
How again was marriage "created" by God?
When will the Right be able to swallow the pill - "Separate Church and State"? This is a free country and we should wake up to realize this isn't the 1920's anymore. Times are changing and there are far more important issues to worry about other than who so & so is dating or marrying. It can take a lifetime of struggle to find someone compatable and caring enough to want to spend their lives with a partner. Why should it matter to you what sex the couple is?
Wake up dude and break out of the Atomic Shelter - it's a new day and IMO for the better.
I find it comical that the premise "marriage itself was created by God" is used to support the argument that only a man and woman can "marry." "Marriage" has had many meanings, long before Christianity, and marriage as we know it today, were created. And you can create life without marriage pretty easily so the argument that the reason that marriage is restricted to a man and a woman is because men and women can procreate is absurd.
