What is this, Russia?
Apparently a new survey shows most American’s oppose gay marriage, but luckily they also don’t agree with the president's proposed amendment to the constitution. Personally, I don’t think the gay marriage issue is one we should be wasting so much time over. Honestly, there are two sides to every story and my only hope is that if we do start allowing same sex marriages, it doesn’t avalanche into a trend where people can marry anyone or anything. I could just see people marrying their dog or their favorite “Friends” episode. That’s the real danger to accepting gay marriage.
My own personal religious beliefs tell me gay marriage is wrong. Fine. So is smoking crack. I’m not about to jump on a bandwagon movement to stop crack heads from having the same rights as the rest of us. Seriously, if it is a faith issue, then why not trust God to do the passing of judgment. If gay marriage is morally wrong, then whatever those of us on earth commit to paper God will nullify. If you aren’t religious and you’re opposed to gay marriage, then tell me why.
Straight marriages have a pretty horrible track record these days. I’m not saying I agree with gay marriage, but I do think it is ridiculous for the entire nation to get up in arms about the issue. This isn’t going to pull the morality rug out from under us. Maybe you haven’t noticed, but we’ve been sitting on the bare floor for years now.
