I am not a judgmental person, if anything I may be to
accepting of everything and everyone. I have my views and my stances on certain
aspects of the world but honestly I believe we spend too much time worrying and
judging others about things that will ultimately have no impact on us as
individuals. One that truly irks me is the constant issue with Gay and Lesbian
marriage rights. I am supportive of the Gay and Lesbian communities struggle
and see no issue in allowing them to marry.
I don’t understand why so many people get worked up over this
concept and lack any logical outlook on the issue. It appears that the first
big defense of the Anti-Gay-Marriage types is that The Bible states it is
wrong, or to put it in their own words, “It’s Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.”
That is the most fucking ignorant line I have ever heard in my life by the way!
The Bible tells us a lot of things and I honestly believe that one of the
largest lessons in it, one that outweighs majority of its ideals, is to “love
thy neighbor.”
Why do we spend so much time judging the way that others
choose to live and love and point this finger of judgment at others when many
of us are committing our own sins? There is a simple solution to nullify this
use of religion in fighting Gay and Lesbian marriage and it is rather simple,
just don’t recognize said unions through the church! Seriously, if your
strongest argument is that God hates gays, then you are ignorant because we are
told that God is forgiving and loves all of his children, and if the church is
against these unions then simply allow the unions to take place through the
State but not the Church. I understand that this idea is not ideal for any Gay
or Lesbian couples that are also religious but keep in mind that it is a small
victory in a much larger battle. The Blacks didn’t win all of their rights in
one day, nor did Women, and the Jews had to run away and wander the desert for 40
years to even have a chance at what they wanted!
How is it going to affect me if two people of the same
gender want to spend their lives together? If anything I say more power to them
for finding someone that makes them happy and inspires them to spend their life
with another person! I would love to say that it affects me by removing people
from the dating world but even then it doesn’t because they are not potential
options in my dating pool, no they are over in their own pools having a blast
on the water slides and chilling next to the poolside bar!
I believe it is time that we quit judging people for their
sexuality and stop using the term gay as some form of insult or way to attack
others, and instead accept that the world is a changing place and people will
love who they love. I have no right to question why anyone ends up with who
they do and honestly believe I should only show concern when there are noticeable
issues in a relationship like abusive natures or lack of support. I urge
everyone to honestly consider how it would affect you if Gay and Lesbian
marriage was legal and if it would truly ruin your life in any way?
