It's a shame we have to even VOTE on this.<br /><br />I have faith in the nation's youth though... young people who will have grown up with gay people as friends and will know that they are no threat to anyone or any institution.

Separate is NOT EQUAL. It is so sad. Marriage is about love. If two people love each other, we should be happy for them. No matter what. The Bible says God is love. So tell all the religious people that hating gay couples is the same as hating God.

It wouldn't be in any enlightened society.<br /><br />But people being what they are, they need a boogeyman, upon which they can heap the blame for all ills real or perceived. <br /><br />As a culture, we need to worry about keeping our own houses in order and allow others to do the same. The fact that basic civil rights are being subjected to a vote... with countless millions of dollars pissed away trying to persuade people one way or another, is viscerally disturbing.<br /><br />I wish you nothing but love and happiness with your sweetie.

At my blog, I tried to articulate the wrongness of having a minority's rights put up for a majority vote. Instead, I basically cried and whined. It is a stone-cold soul beatdown, to be honest, and it gets very old very fast. Governor Paterson is forcing a State Senate vote in New York this week, and I'm a bit worried that it'll lead to another damned vote, even though I want to see progress happen so badly.<br /><br />I do wish people could just leave others the hell alone and concentrate on fixing real problems, instead of working so hard to *make* problems for other people.CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-15650911318930783362009-11-07T14:40:42.731-05:002009-11-07T14:40:42.731-05:00It's a shame that people have to mask who they...It's a shame that people have to mask who they are because of the hard-headedness of others. No one should have to live a lie and I'm sorry your Uncle had to carry that burden around.<br /><br />That's why I always laugh when I hear people talk about the gay "lifestyle"... like one day thousands of people woke up and said, "Gee, I'd like to be the object of persecution and derision, and possibly get my ass kicked today!" Who would choose that for themselves? <br /><br />People need to butt the hell out of other people's business, on this subject and a score of others. What's wrong with living your own life and taking care of your own household, and leaving your neighbor the hell alone?bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-62884847039182764532009-11-07T12:43:52.530-05:002009-11-07T12:43:52.530-05:00I HAD a personal dog in this fight... well, not my...I HAD a personal dog in this fight... well, not myself, but a family dog, if you will... We'll just say he was a fiesty Irish Setter... <br /><br />I've talked about him a few times on my blog... He committed suicide this year. While the events that lead to this act can never be completely validated.... I have to factor his sexual preference into the depths of darkness he'd faced his entire life. <br /><br />I like to pick and choose which parts of my faith I believe. I've questioned many things that I was taught in Catholic school... and, I don't think that my uncle is in hell for committing suicide nor for being gay.<br /><br />I don't think he would have been the "marrying type". Though he was gay... He sure wasn't flaming... and was able to mask his secret.<br /><br />It was his parents, though, close minded and non accepting, who made him keep this secret. That must have been a difficult and lonely battle to have fought. <br /><br />Anyway... I just wanted to say, Awesome post... and I completely agree... The same rules should apply to all people... This shouldn't even be nearly as much of a debate as those close minded individuals make of it.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018412579475185891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-39013401739275366522009-11-06T20:09:57.569-05:002009-11-06T20:09:57.569-05:00Thanks Cher and GUYS...

Thank you for NOT remaining silent as this is a subject that requires a voice. And I hope one day enough voices speak loud enough so that others understand it is NOT a sin to marry the one you love because they share the same sex as you.
