Surviving the Domestic Jungle

Gay marriage was legalized in New York state recently and I have to ask, why is this an accomplishment? Why is this even an issue???!! Why are we stuck in the stone age on this topic?? We have wasted so much time, money and emotion on something that shouldn’t even be an issue. If someone wants to be married and condemn themselves to a lifetime of compromise and fights about ridiculous stuff, then so be it! How about this, make straight marriage illegal because with one in every two marriages failing, maybe we can learn something from the gay folks! Straight people have taken marriage, a sacred commitment, and turned it into something we do for a few weeks and then move on! Some people commit and stay together forever but nowadays, multiple marriages and broken homes are the norm. Maybe the gays will do a better job! A friend of mine had posted some picture on facebook that said something about how straight people need to stop making gay babies if they have such a problem with gay marriage. I thought that was cute because its true! I’m sorry all you religious people who believe God is against it but I have a question. Did you see God and ask him personally? Are you just believing something someone said thousands of years ago about what God said? Perhaps something got lost in translation because being gay is NOT new and has been going on since, well a long time. It may seem like there are a lot of gay people in this world but finally they are allowed to say they are gay! Imagine all those people in the past who hid who they were their whole lives because as a whole, society is one closed minded hate machine. To be honest, the straight people scare me when it comes to sex, not the gay people. There are some FREAKS out there! I don’t care what you do behind closed doors, I care about who you are. If someone decided I was a bad person because I have sex with my husband, they can just take their ideas and walk away. If we ALL stopped judging each other over things that are NONE of our business, this world would be a better place. Why is this even a topic in 2011? How about making electric cars legal or perhaps making recycling mandatory?! Something of substance. Something that is a real problem!! Again, all the straight people should not even talk with the statistics on their marriages. Equal rights for every man, woman and child regardless of race, religion or sexual orientation should be made legal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
