my little rants
first of all, if you don't
a) pick up a newspaper
b) watch the news
c) get your news off the internet
then shame on you.
now, there is a bill in Congress proposing a ban on gay marriage.
i am shocked that something like this is being voted on.
wait. i take that back.
i'm not shocked.
this is the same administration that spent ten times the amount of money on war than it did victims of hurricane katrina.
this is the same administration that tapped into innocent civilian's phone lines. (McCarthyism, anyone?)
this is the same administration that lied to the public repeatedly on television.
this is the same administration who lets troops die for personal gain.
if church and state are truly separated, why can't homosexuals get married?
if we all have unalienable rights (as stated in the Declaration of Independence), such as the pursuit of happiness, then why can't gay people get married?
the oh-so-lovely Bill Frist gives us the answer. he says that marriage "protects children" better than any other institution in the country.
is that so, bill frist?
then why do 50% of all marriages end up in divorce??
that can't be good for the children!
so.
children constantly moving from home to home with no unified love of parents...or children in the home of two same-sexed parents that are full of love...which is better?
let's ask the christian right who say "adam and eve...not adam and steve!"
cute...really.
anyway, the bible also condones slavery, so does that make it ok?
think about that.
lastly, GAY MARRIAGE DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.
if you are straight, marry someone straight.
big deal.
why does the marriage of two other people affect you?
get over yourselves.
here is my pledge, although its not worth much, it's supportive:
i WILL NOT get married until gays have the same marriage rights as heterosexuals.
support love, people.
support love.
oh, by the way:
