I was talking to my fiance this weekend and we were discussing where we would get married and when. As these things do, the subject of gay marriage came up. I am a big supporter of love, marriage on the other hand can be dicey. I do believe that any two adults should have the right to get married and have that marriage recognized by the government. As long as there are financial benefits to marriage, it should be something that adults enter into without regard to who they are marrying.
That said, what I always find funny is that there rabid rednecks who oppose gays in general and gay marriage in particular can actually go to American states where it is legal and watch and see just how damaging gay marriage is to the institution of marriage.
Because, guess what? It's not. So, here is a Tea Bagger rally in New Hampshire and I think this perfectly shows that, a- we do have much bigger problems in this country that trying to stop people from committing to one another and b- most people just don't seem to care.
It must drive the crazy religious types a little nutty to see states allow the gays to marry and nothing happens. It was so easy to run the scare tactics about how society would crumble if gays got married, but you look at Iowa and New Hampshire and the others, nothing.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the gays like to be called Mary.
