Gay-Marriage Will Eventually Prevail

I've stated my take on this issue for the most part. I even got a nasty email from someone who disagreed with me and I'm alright with that. Truth is, ladies and gentleman, that I also agree that this issue will eventually prevail. The sentiment across the nation in support of this "right" is too strong for the issue to not keep coming back. And for all the closed minded individuals who are stuck on what "marriage" traditionally is, times are changing. Times have changed for many things and in many ways. Do you really love yourself? Then you should love and respect others in what they want if it doesn't hurt you. What are you really afraid of? That someone is challenging the core of you and what YOU stand for? Be sure of yourself! But be sure that you are allowing others to be themselves without judgement from you.

Read this great article about what this issue brought to us this weekend.

It's happening in Boston, Seattle and Connecticut.

The gay-marriage issue has only just begun.

Proposition 8 Controversy

Saying yes to Proposition 8 was like saying "No, you cannot love to your heart's desire. You cannot live the rest of your life with the one that you love." That is so wrong. What about all of these 'same sex' marriages who are forced to marry because of an out-of-wedlock unwanted pregnancy, yet the parents demand a shotgun wedding? Is that right to allow that couple to get married? I love Keith Olbermann. Accept love between people of the same sex. If you will remember, it was not long ago that blacks could not marry whites. It was, at one point, illegal in many states. That is ludicrous. Please, everyone. This is your opportunity to move in the direction of making things right! This is love. What are you afraid of ?!?!?

People who claim to be Christian, what about loving all people? Okay, whatever! So you do believe that. But what gives you the right to not allow two loving human beings to share the same sanctity that you enjoy as a heterosexual. Treating ALL people the way you want to be treated yourself. What is that? Doesn't Jesus want us to love and accept all others? And if that means accepting their choices in committing to a lifelong promise, shouldn't that be alright?

Even Governor Schwarzneggar has lightened up on the issue (probably due to pressure from his wife.) He suggests to opposers of Proposition 8 to not give up. In the past he has rejected legislation that allowed same-sex marriage. Now, he encourages "backers of gay marriage" to not give up, to keep not giving up until your point was heard and until the change you want is made.

Onliner Jennifer Seale writes about this issue and concludes "In short the only reasons people have for opposing it is fear. Fear of something different. Fear that their child might be gay. Fear that they might be gay themselves. Fear that has no basis, no logical reason, and is ultimately blind to a whole group of citizens who should have the same rights to happiness as straight people." Click here to see her whole article.
