Not About Gay

For my first post, I had a tug-a-war with my topics. Being fairly new to the blogging world, I thought I might test the waters slowly. It certainly was not my intention to blast off waxing controversial. But oh well, what the hell. Today with 'Day without a Gay' making the news, the choice was clear. Setting aside the question of whether it had a positive effect on the issue, I'm still mystified that so many people don't understand it. Gayness is there in the middle of the argument,and continues to overshadow the real issue, equal rights.
I read another post (not here), and paraphrasing she stated, she could not understand why "gays" would want the same kind of marriage she has, when they could simply have a civil union or life partner union...that 'gays' should be grateful to live in a free society like America.
She and other Prop 8 proponents don't seem to grasp the larger picture. This movement is protecting all our equal rights, including hers. It guarantees anyone the right to marry the one they love. It is not about negating her right to marry heterosexually.
Mightily obvious to this blogger, is she has no concept or appreciation for the free society she enjoys. All those who support and voted in favor of Prop 8 engaged in anti-American activity. Yes, that's exactly what I said.
As, I pointed out and will state again here, that Prop 8 illegally stripped individuals of the right to marry whom they choose, and is a step towards wiping out our constitution rights. It's about propagating intolerance, hate, ignorance and prejudice.
Shall we take another step backwards and strip the rights of interracial couples to marry?
The supporters of the proposition claim the law states marriage is to be between one man and one woman. Who do they think wrote that law? Just as we have realized preventing inter racial marriages was wrong, they should realize their definition of marriage partners was wrong as well.
America's laws are designed to protect the individual while not infringing on the majority. How did Prop 8 serve us to this end? If one commits their love and devotion and solely to another...that my friends is marriage!
And that's my 2 sense and change. Good to be here.
