gay marriage

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

gays and lesbians have been around just as long as the human race. rules...rules were meant to be broken? who made such silly rules in the first place? obviously the majority of the people, we actually have a say unlike most places in the world, for which we are fortunate to live in such a democracy, but like everything else, we must take the good with the bad. I'm not one for politics nor do I wrap myself up in them...it's not a case of ignorance is bliss by any means, if something major is happening, I'm tuned in, if not well then I'm busy making grand life plans and trying to find some happiness in this crazy world in which we live in. Who wants to watch the news anyways when all it is...bad. highlights of gun shots, death, robbery, anti-gays, anti-blacks, anti-somebody. Now wonder why it's easier to focus so much on the bad, and hardly remember or appreciate the good times. We do it as a society.

The following blurbs are from articles I read on the web today about the Prop 8 in california. good for you! good for the nation! when there is peace in our hearts, we can only hope there will be more peace in the world...open your minds, think with your hearts, not your eyes.



“Moral disapproval alone is an improper basis upon which to deny rights to gay men and lesbians.”

"Ok I need to have someone on the right please tell me how gay marriage affects your life. When you get up in the morning knowing that gay men and woman are allowed to marry how that personally affect you. Does it change the way you conduct yourself? Does it change the way you treat your family? Does it change the way you do your job? Does it change your sexual orientation? What is it about this that is so harmful to you? I am just trying to understand why so much energy is expended trying to change what others are. Do you even know why you feel this way? "

"Let’s see heterosexual marriage what do we have, Divorce at an all time high, Child abuse, Spousal abuse, Child neglect, violence with the home. That’s the way to go. Hopefully gay men and woman can bring back some dignity to marriage. They couldn’t make it any worse. And yes I know there are a lot of happy marriages and good quality home environments. My problem is when heterosexual marriage is touted as the most stable and moral institution on the planet. There’s a lot of dysfunction within these marriages, not always the happy place you think it is. Not saying the gay community doesn’t experience some of the same issue just pointing out we’re not perfect. I will say this it’s been my experience that gay couples make great parents and they raise great kids. That’s more then I can say for some of the traditional couples I have known."

"We have much bigger problems nationally than whether or not a man can marry another man."

"Our hearts are not for each other to judge"

"People will love who they love, no matter what"
