Issues Against Gay Marriages
The issues against gay marriages are blown way out of proportion. If one believes that everyone is created equal and should not be discriminated upon, then why is it that people who have a different sexual orientation are not accepted and allowed to live the life they choose and be happy. We see stories about the people trying to shoot down the California law that is going to allow same sex marriages. Wouldn’t it be wiser to concentrate on something that is more important such as stopping the war and the lost of life.
I recently ran into a discussion at a local tavern a few months ago at a girls brat fry for a softball team. The man who made this comment to me of all people did not know my daughter or the teams sexual preference I suspect. This man whom I have known from my bartending days said “I am here to support the team because they are so good at softball and none of them are dikes.”
I turned around and looked at the team and realized how stupid the guy was because my daughter is gay, a teammate is gay and the other teammates are heterosexual. The gay population in the bar was equal to the heterosexual population. The guy was clueless that he was mingling with gays.
It is this way of thinking that finds most people on the end of stupidity. I did not know whether to laugh at him and tell him the truth or let him go on thinking that everyone on the team was heterosexual. I chuckled and walked away. I was amazed at the comment and did not have the heart to tell him how stupid and discriminating he sounded.
It is this way of thinking that raises the issues against gay marriages. Now this man watches porn movies with two girls together and is happy as can be, but he is against gays or dikes as he put it. Most people have double standards when it comes to gay marriages or relationships. It is these people with double standards that present the issues against gay marriages and try to impress upon others their viewpoints.
What is your impression of gay marriages? Do you think that everyone has the right to happiness or do you believe that gay or same sex relationships should be kept secret?
