If marriage is so sacred, why is it not
a requirement for people to prove their love for each other in order
to get a marriage license? As soon as I turned 18, I could have
gotten a marriage license within 30 minutes just by saying my fiance
is sexy and I want to get married because we'll make pretty babies.
Love isn't even a requirement for marriage. There are some same-sex
couples who love each other more than life itself, but are denied
because of the “sanctity” of marriage. But isn't love sacred
also?
The Bible says it's wrong. Hmm... The
Church really shouldn't be talking, given its track record for
molestation and closet homosexuality. I'm a Christian, and I will
admit that I was against same-sex marriage for a while because of my
religion, but some things, I just think are wrong. (I have a list,
but that's a whole 'nother post on a different blog, lol). The Bible
also says to do unto others as you'd want done unto you. Would you
want someone to deny you the right to marry the person you loved
because of their own preferences? No.
Lastly, “what about the kids?” What
about them? As a believer in people being born gay (my own opinion),
your child is going to be attracted to whoever they are attracted to.
If my child ever came to me and said someone made them gay, I wouldn't take them seriously. So I doubt that seeing same-sex couples get married is going to change their
orientation. That's like saying that seeing someone eat apples is going to
make your child like apples despite the fact that your child hates
apples. No. Your child knows what they like and what they don't so
nothing is going to change that. And if you think that teaching your
child about why little Suzie's parents are both women is difficult,
then you aren't equipped for parenthood. What are you going to do
when it's time to teach them that Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and
Barney aren't real? It's a part of life. Even if same-sex marriage
weren't legalized, they are still going to encounter these types of
couples at least once in their lives.

With all of this being said, I have
learned to change my views on same-sex marriage. I used to be
concerned about all of the things discussed in this blog post.
However, as a heterosexual woman, I realized that advocating for
same-sex marriage harms me in no way possible. Why? Because I am not
interested in marrying a woman. I already have the right and
privilege to marry whoever I want, but why would I want to deny
others the same right and privilege? Hell, if heterosexual
celebrities can marry for money, reproduce like rabbits and name
their children ridiculous names, why can't same-sex couples do the
same? I'm just sayin'.
What do you think?
♥P.
I think that the Republicans are just saying sanctity of marriage, because they still believe that world is 100% christian....
ReplyDeleteVery true. Hypothetically, let's say that marriage is sacred. Does it make a difference who is getting married? If two people are agreeing to participate in this ritual together, then they must also share the same level of commitment & whatnot to do so, right?
ReplyDeleteExactly that's why you need to be on the same spiritual page as your significant other.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
