Meg's Big Gay Post

I feel need to write about this due to the recent news with California and a bunch of other states banning Gay Marriage. And I believe it was another state as well prohibited gay adoptions.... ok people. Lets talk, shall we?

In this past election, we had the greatest voter turnout in generations. People waited in lines for HOURS, for Christ's sake! It was amazing! America's slogan became "Yes We Can!", but after the smoke cleared and everything was said and done, our slogan was "Yes We Can! But Gays, No You Can't..." We had the greatest voter turnout for African Americans in history, however in their huge turnout and call for "equality", they voted to deny gays the right to marry. Wow... its must be really easy to go from the oppressed to the oppressor, huh? Thanks.


Honestly, what do people have against Gay marriage? I heard a lot of people say that homosexuality is wrong because it is sex outside of marriage. Well... wouldn't this fix that little problem? Let gays marry and it WON'T be outside marriage, right? That's a simple fix.

I've heard another argument say that homosexuality is wrong because it can't produce children, and that is what sex is for. So... sex without being able to have children in general is wrong. Ok, fine. What about people who are sterile?? Are they not allowed to get married or have sex because they can't have children? That makes sense, right? What about old people? Are old people not allowed to have sex? Granny can't push out any more babies, so sorry, no sex for you. really? Come on...

Then I heard the argument against gay marriage be that "Marriage is a tradition, damnit! A union between man and woman!". Ok, ok... lets take a quick break though to look at marriage in a historical way. HOW many cultures in the past have let men marry multiple women? Yeah, LOTS?? Why? Because at that time, you needed as many babies as possible because they probably wouldn't live through their teens, and out of the ones that survived, you needed to at least have 1 or 2 sons to carry on for you. So there goes your 'one man to one woman' crap. Even Abraham had a baby-mama cause his wife couldn't have no kids (uh-oh! sex outside of marriage! so much for that sanctity thing, huh? "Marriage is holy and should be upheld... as long as your wife can push out babies. otherwise anything goes). But over time, marriage has changed as culture and ways of thinking have changed.... TIMES CHANGE. You don't see a man marrying three woman and panicing because his children won't survive the winter and he won't have a male heir for his thrown or farm... come on, people. Use your heads!

Gays are citizens. Gays are people. Gays love. And when has love ever been wrong? How can you deny two people from loving one another? Shouldn't we be encouraging this?? With our high divorce rate in this country, why aren't we encouraging marriage, no matter who it is between? Two adults who love one another... it's as simple as that. I personally am tired of being a second class citizen. I want to get married, I want to have a family... does it matter who with? Is it up to the government to tell me who I'm allowed to love? No, it isn't.



I'll end it here, i'm getting too emotionally involved with this post now. I will write a post dealing with my actual life sometime later haha

Until next time~!
