So - both my parents are anti same-sex marriage. Or rather they are anti calling it marriage. Call it a unite or a partnership. Let them have all the same rights as married couples, but don’t call it a marriage. And all the ancient records were a same-sex marriage was preformed? Yeah, that’s not in English so who knows what it really meant. And all the modern religions and groups that recognize same sex marriage. . .they don't count. (Not really sure why, actually)
I tried to discuss it, but it basically came back to: marriage is religion and its wrong to make people call it marriage. Especially if they don’t want to. Civil rights has nothing to do with it. And what if a man marries his horse next! Like, a man could start saying he’s married to a horse! Oh no!
My question is: what do you guys think of it all? I say: I don’t really care. I think that anyone in the LGBTQA community should be able to marry anyone they like, as long as they are both mentally/emotionally ready and of age. (Basically what I think of all marriage.)
Also, my father said that a lot of the problems the LGBTQA community face are problems they bring on themselves. Especially via their parties and their “feminine” behavior. As he put it: “a homosexual man doesn’t have to act like a woman. They mostly chose to - they like the attention and they are drama queens.” But, you know he’s fine with “homosexuals”
(And he hates Morgan Freeman!)
