I am still having trouble grasping the thought process of those who oppose gay marriage. How does it affect your life and your marriage? Why are those who oppose gay marriage sticking your noses into other people's private matters? How does it make your life less (less good, less worthy, less important, less happy)?
Limiting someone's civil and/or human rights for what reason? I am not trying to stir up more trouble but genuinely having a difficult time understanding why those who are opposed are opposed to this?
Is it because you think they are less worthy of getting married? Should they not be able to enjoy and share a happy union with the love of their life and enjoy all the benefits (and of course consequences too) associated with marriage? Why don't they deserve the same benefits straight couples have? Why is it OK to separate people into different groups deeming some more worthy of others of enjoying rights such as legal marriage?
I think religion has too much of a stronghold on this country and that should never be OK. Everyone matters and everyone counts and one religion is not better than another and atheists are not less worthy than religious individuals who are not less worthy than agnostics and so on and so forth. I wish we would stop dividing and separating people based on differences and instead embrace others for who they are and not what religion they follow, for who they love, how they dress or how they see themselves gender wise etc etc etc. Let's please just stop the madness and let's love or at least respect each other for who we are and show each other some kindness, acceptance and tolerance. The world would be a whole lot better off if we could do that. In many ways it reminds me of a high school clique with the cool kids deeming the others unworthy. What's that song high school never ends.
