You have scored another win in the war against that pesky “Gay Agenda”. If we can’t win the war against terrorism or Iraq, we might as well win the source of all that is evil in the world. Those damn gays!
As you may or may not know, yesterday’s election saw a 70% approval for Kansas to amend their constitution to make gay marriage and civil unions illegal. Wait! What was that last part? We’ll come back to that, dear reader. Poor Kansas must have forgotten that they have already defined marriage as that between a man and a woman. I guess they needed to bring it up again.
“…and there be hanged by the neck till he be dead, dead, dead.”
Now back to the second part. They have made civil unions illegal. I guess that means if you are a man and woman married by common law, you are screwed. There will be no more benefits for you “roommates”.
I’m left with yet another bitter taste in my mouth from our morally fucked up nation and left wondering, what’s next? Will all marriages that are not performed in a church be the next thing to be considered null and void? Are we such bigots that we think the only marriage that exists is that between a Christian man and a Christian woman? Is it really that important that we keep people from living their life as they chose and providing them with the same rights granted to all of us? Did we learn nothing from our racist past?
In about 30 years when our nation realizes we've made yet another bigoted decision, will we apologize and reverse the amendments, ending our persecution of those that do not live their lives in "the norm"?
There are those that believe that gay marriage/unions take away from the sanctity of marriage. There are those that seem to think one of the five messages repeated throughout the Bible is Stop the Gays. I seem to recall reading a lot about loving and respecting one another. The Bible is supposedly the word of God as written by man. Who is to say that that time’s Fred Phelps did not write the sections that mention homosexuals? I know quite a few Christians who even think he is despicable.
Feel free to respond to any of the questions posed above, and I’ll leave you with a few more to ponder.
Does the idea of a gay marriage so consume your thoughts that it subtracts the importance of your own marriage? Do you feel that it makes a mockery of it? If so, why?
