It's been a long time...I shouldn't a left you

So an amendment was brought up in the Senate a few weeks back in an attempt to outlaw gay marriage. This issue KILLS me; it's by far the most divisive and polarizing subject that americans face today. What's hilarious about it, to me, is that the only argument against it is completely irrelavant.

Stick with me here...

The only argument against gay marriage is that it says in some book that man shouldn't lay with man. THE ONLY ARGUMENT. As we all should know, the first amendment clearly seperates church from state, and therefore any argument based solely on religion is completely invalid and unconstitutional. It's as simple as that. If two people want to be happy and plan to live the rest of their lives together, they should be allowed the same rights as everyone else, regardless of sexual preference. This is the same type of stupid bullshit rational that was used against the repeal of slavery; remember, THE BIBLE says it's perfectly fine to own slaves, even though they're people just like you and I who deserve the same rights. But the bible said it was fine to deny them the same rights as other humans. How did that work out? Oh yeah, it was UNCONSTITUTIONAL to deny them their freedom, just like it would be unconstitutional to deny anyone the right to marry whomever they choose.

There isnt a good argument against gay marriage. An argument based on religion is just a fanatic's prayer, and even attempting to make one just shows you for the blatant homophobe you are. And I don't want to hear any of that "I have gay friends" bullshit, either; people can only be friends when they are equal, and you're blatantly trying to take away their right to be just as unhappy as everyone else. People can't be equal when some have rights others don't.

What really bothers me, though, is that it really doesn't effect anyone else, yet they make it out to be this national issue. How is it that two strangers getting married offends you? How ridiculous. I love the whole argument about them raising gay kids, and our country being overrun by homosexuals. Except that homosexuality is genetic, not behavioral, as in you don't learn it, you're born with it. If you learned it, how did the first homosexual even come about? He/She would have had to LEARN it from someone else. It doesnt make any sense to think that it is learned, or that having gay parents would increase the likelyhood of a child being gay.

Besides, if it were true, then eventually we'd all be wiped out because gays don't reproduce with each other, so there'd be no more people left after a few generations. And as all you fanatics know, the bible clearly says the world is gonna end by fire. See? Even GOD is trying to tell you homosexuality isn't a threat, you just aren't listening. Wow, didnt see THAT coming.
