On Marriage...
Dear Ultra-Conservatives of the "Religious Right",
I heard a rumour that you want to "protect marriage". Never fear! The answer is here! I can tell you exactly how to protect your precious institution of marriage:
1. Be faithful to your spouses. That's right, Mr. Two-Face. Queers aside, your extra-marital affair just might be part of the problem. Adultery is just as much of a "sin", according to your "good book", as homosexuality. In fact, "thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife" made it into the Big Ten. Sodomy wasn't on the list.
2. Marry someone you actually love, not just someone who will help you with your social-climbing. Oh, and try at least a year or so of engagement to see if you actually DO love your betrothed, instead of just being infatuated. Maybe you could even check to see if the sex will be any good. That could save some problems down the road.
3. Wait until you're mature enough to have a shred of a clue who you are before you marry. You can't know who you'll love for the rest of your life until you know yourself.
4. Marry someone intellectually compatible with you.
5. Marry someone sexually compatible with you! And don't be afraid to try something other than "missionary style, under the sheets, with the lights out". Why do you think people get bored?
6. If you're a closet-gay, don't marry someone of the opposite sex! And no, your gayness isn't destroying marriage. Your need to lie to society to protect a false image ruined YOUR marriage. Maybe you should try being honest to the person who vowed to spend his or her life with you... and sexual orientation would be a good start.
Seriously, if you're so worried about marriage, then don't get a divorce! Let's see how far your "faith" will get you in defending your own marriage before you slam someone else. If you fuck up your own vows, don't blame the queers for ruining the "institution of marriage". You did it yourself. And seeing as gay marriage is only allowed in one state, you can't blame the gays for the astronomically high divorce rate. Those divorces are pretty much all straight people... or at least "straight marriages".
FACT: The "Bible Belt" states have all the highest divorce rates in the country. Massachusetts, which is the only state that allows gay marriage, has the lowest divorce rate in the country. Oh, and the gays seem to be doing better than the straights, statistically, on keeping their marriages together.
