California Overturns the Ban on Gay Marriage

I am 30 something, well educated; in fact I am an attorney. I am heterosexual, married and a mother of two delightfully difficult children. I was blessed to find love and my best friend in the same package. I guess I was also lucky that he happens to be a man so that society does not shun our union. But what if my, or for arguments sake, your soulmate, your closest confident and personal cheering section turns out to be of the same gender? Do you not deserve to be loved? Take the sexual act out of the picture; take out kissing and other affectionate scenarios. Now you have one person caring for another, sharing unconditional love. Now should their gender matter?

Try it this way … most people associate homosexuality with gratuitous sex. Wow, homosexuals tend to be homosexual all the time … that is a lot of sex. Maybe those who can’t tolerate homosexuality are just jealous that they aren’t getting’ any!

Now if they can marry then they will have all the benefits of being married, of course it is only fair that they get the all burdens and responsibilities well. That doesn’t work for you? Have you been through a nasty divorce? Know anyone who has? Well if gays can’t marry they don’t need to divorce … for all those who have been dragged through the mud in a divorce you’re probably thinking, “lucky bastards.” One post I read said, “now homosexuals can be stuck in miserable marriages just like heterosexuals.” I found that statement quite amusing.

Adoption … having kids and building families. Family values are about family. Family values are not about genitalia! In fact children of gay and lesbian couples are often well cared for, well educated and super loved! There are so may kids that need to be adopted and need to be loved, and these are the folks to give them that love. Maybe if some of the products of the foster care system would have had a stable home with parental love less of them would move into the penal system?

Whilst I am not preaching to embrace homosexuality … I am just saying get a tough skin – grow some balls and tolerate it. Oddly enough homosexuals teach their kids tolerance to all social issues – even those of the ignorant religious right. Despite what the ignorant posse thinks they are not creating little homo soldiers. I bet if someone did a study on the adoptive children of gay couples they would find there is no correlation. I know of one child of a lesbian couple who also was a lesbian but she was the natural child of one of the mothers. If anything that give strength to the argument that there is a genetic link.

The homosexual communities in this country tend to be well educated, successful and wealthy. Look at the most lucrative industries … fashion, television, radio, motion pictures, music, marketing, new media and restaurants – almost all spearheaded by Gays (and/or Jews – who face some of the same prejudices due to their incredible success). Again, I have to believe that jealously motivates most of this hatred.

Oh and if your reading this and thinking what a liberal #(*& … I am a card carrying registered Republican! Homosexual marriage is not about politics, not about religion, not about science … it is about love. There is no shame in being in love. So I say to all those who chose to love persons of the same gender … go forth, love and be loved … legally!
