Equality A Thing Of The Past
Now that gay adoptions are banned in Arkansas and Florida and Arizona has a ban on gay marriages, California gay marriages look grim, equality for all is gone. It is a sad time for gays and everyone in the country. If you can allow people to vote on the happiness of others then you will have people trying to take the rights of others away as well.
Gay marriage bans are bad enough, but then you ban gay adoptions and hurt children that that a gay person or couples would adopt. Now you have taken away their hope of having a family. America citizens that voted against single and gay adoptions will only have to blame yourselves when these children grow up and seek revenge on you for taking away their right to have a parent and a home.
Banning gay adoptions wasn’t enough for you, so you sought to ban gay marriages as well. Now you are saying that the eighteen thousand marriages in California are illegal. That is a load of crap. Those marriages were preformed before the eyes of the American people and they are legal no matter what you ban in the state. These people were married by officials and have been married and living a married life. If you try to dissolve their marriages because of the ban, you are not only taking away their rights, you are telling them that it is okay to marry and have the people decide if your marriage is good or not.
Do you want people to look at your marriage and say if it is good or not. If you have a shameful marriage, then it should be dissolved as well. This means that if a spouse has ever cheated, you must divorce because the marriage is no good, it is against the writings in that book you preach about.
Equality is now a thing of the past. Our fore fathers are rolling over in their graves at the shameful way people try to prevent everyone from having the same equal rights that they fought so hard for.
Electing Obama was a step forward, but banning gay marriages and gay adoptions was three steps backwards. No wonder our country is a shambled mess. Now, if gay persons cannot have the same rights as everyone else, they should not have to pay taxes as well. They owe the government nothing. The government gets nothing because these citizens are not a part of the country. If they were they would have the same rights as everyone else.
It was one of the happiest and saddest days I’ve ever seen.
I can only see things getting worst now that people have to start fighting for their equal rights again. Such a sad way to end a good day for the country.
I blogged on this yesterday. I really expected no better from Florida, but I did expect California to vote for the right choice, not the ancient bigoted one. I don’t even know why it was on the form. I’m so damned annoyed with the south west coast now - not just those who voted to erase the civil rights of others, but also those who would have voted the other way and didn’t bother turning up.
