As you all will learn from reading my posts, I love, love, love writing about touchy subjects! If I feel passionate about something, I need to write about it and get it off my chest. This leads into today's post; Gay Marriage!!
I may not be gay but I totally support gay marriage. Tell me, why can't two people who are in love, share the same bond that everyone else does? Why is it that because they are the same sex they cannot experience that sacred bond?
I am a Christian, I love Jesus and I have no problem saying it to anyone! However, I do feel the need to say that just because I am a Christian and I have read the Bible, I am not going to judge people for their beliefs or life choices. That is NOT what a Christian does! Christians are supposed to love, be considerate, passionate, patient, kind, and caring...we are not supposed to judge!
It makes me so angry to see how the country is responding to the fact that same sex couples can finally celebrate their love! It makes me sick to my stomach to think that all of these people fighting against them call themselves "Christians". I hate to break it to you, you are not as good of a person as you think! You want to throw the Bible at me and say its a sin, fine! I can admit that maybe it may not be something that was considered okay back when the Bible was written or Jesus walked the earth. Things change, we evolve, we should get with the times and pray that we, as Christians, can be as bold and loving as those who we persecute for being gay!
The Bible also states that a woman should obey her husband. Do all women do that? I don't think so. If I was married I know for sure that I would not obey everything my husband said, we are not programmed that way. It sickens me on how rude, closed minded, and judgmental people are! Grow up and recognize that we are in a new world and everything is not just black and white!
That being said; Gay people are just like you and me. They eat, drink, shower, talk, work, relax, and love...it doesn't matter that they love someone of the same sex, they do exactly what everyone else does. Why is this so hard to understand!? People are saying that they hate how gay people are becoming 'heroes' or that they are making such a big deal out of this whole situation... let me tell you why.
If people would have just allowed gay people to be accepted and get married years ago, this would not be such a big issue at the moment! They are rejoicing because the world has told them "NO" for so long, so yes they will make a big deal about this. It is the fault of the whole world that this is such a hot topic and that it has taken this long to pass this law. That is why they are being viewed the way they are and being called brave and courageous.
I state again that while I am personally not gay, I support and respect gay marriage. Just like I support and respect heterosexual marriage. I think this whole thing is being taken out of proportion, and the people who do not support this, while it is their right, should just back off and let it be. More problems are going to arise because of the protesters, than if this was all just let go. Mark my words... The religious society will be what keeps this whole situation going for years.
Let them be! Leave them alone! Let them get married! It is none of anyone's business who loves who and who marries who. Would you make a big scene if your friend married a person you didn't like? Would you picket outside their house? The answer is no, so stay out of everyone's business!
And that is my rambling for the day! Happy Blogging!
