Everyone Is Gay

There is a touchy subject that I have been wanting to talk about for a very long time. I have tried very hard to keep quiet, but I cant stand it any longer.

Gay Marriage!!! Why does it even have to have a label? Shouldn't marriage just be marriage. Why does it have to be different when two men do it or two women do it? I am so confused over the whole situation. I don't care to know or understand all of the laws out there about this topic either. You know why? The answer is simple. We should not be worried about people getting married in this country. There shouldn't be laws prohibiting people from having families and living happily ever after. The divorce rate is sky high on both ends of the spectrum. Gay/Straight/Black/White/interracial/ it doesn't matter. Everyone is getting divorced. Don't come at me with that "the Bible says" stuff either. Cause you know what? Our country was founded on people having different beliefs and those people didn't all believe in God either.What they all believed was that we needed a country that would accept all people. It took a while for the racial and gender issues to be resolved. You'd think we would have learned our lesson by now though.

What we should be worrying about as a country is the Govt sending more troops overseas! What we should be worrying about as a country is health care! What we should be worrying about as a country is global warming (yes it does exist)!! What we should be worrying about as a country is the oil spill that will effect so many people and their well being for such a long time. It pisses me off beyond belief that people who we choose to run our govt, I am talking all sides, not just GOP and not just Dem, are more worried about Fred and Tom getting married, than weather or not Fred and Tom have a job. I am sorry but homosexual people not having jobs effect's my life way more than them being married.

So most Americans are pissed off at Arizona for trying to pass a law that appears to encourage racial profiling, yet those same Americans think it is OK to label/discriminate against homosexuality. Yeah, I said it. It makes no sense to me why we think it is wrong to ask someone if they live and work in this country legally, yet it's OK to tell legal citizens they can't get married. I am pretty sure the Constitution guarantees equal rights to all people. The whole Arizona law is another argument for another day, right now I am more concerned for my homosexual friends. Since I am pretty sure most of them are legal and have jobs and don't make me run to the back to get the right WIC milk every day....Sorry I had a moment!!!

So anyway I have rambled on enough about this subject. Weather you agree or disagree with the whole Gay Rights debate, you should at least take a moment to think about this: What if it were you?? o.k. that is all for now, I have a Friday night to prepare for.
