I wasn't going to get involved in the gay marriage political thing because I didn't really want to post anything political on this blog but I got into an argument with my mom about it. My mom who I thought would be more open about gay marriages because in general she is very open to alot of ideas and I never would have thought it would have caused an argument with her. I have a lot of gay friends and I think that they have every right in the world to marry their partner!!
Its stupid that people think only a man and a woman have the right to get married. Its like saying only a white man and a white woman can get married. I'm not up on my history but when black men wanted to marry a white woman that was looked upon as a bad thing not so long ago (correct me if I'm wrong here). Who has the right to tell a person who they can love, or who they can marry? My mom asked me if I'd be ok with an 80 yr old man marrying an 8 year old girl..now that's sick and perverted and not even relevant to gay marriages but if that's the thinking of people..then we seriously have alot of work to do in changing the minds of people here and why would anyone think that two men or two women getting married is perverted? There are gay partnerships and that's not questioned as much as the gay marriage thing is..why?
I believe if you are of legal age which is 18 in the US, then you should have the right to marry anyone that you want whether it be the same sex partner or a man if you're a woman. No one should have the right to tell me who I can love, who I can married or who I want to grow old with or who will make the decisions about my life if I get sick.
Sign the petion opposing the federal marriage amendment which you can find on Distant Early Morning also..
