Gay Marriage

Why not? Everyone else is talking about it.

Personally, I don't see why so many people are against gay marriage. Now, I'm not gay myself, but the guy I'm sleeping with is. And I think it's really no one's business what other consenting adults want to do while I'm watching.

But seriously folks:

I actually saw one of the protesters in California when the first marriages were taking place holding a sign that said "Gays can't marry". The interesting thing was that also on the sign was a bit of graphics meant somehow to prove this point. It was a picture of two 3-prong, U.S.-style, electrical male plugs, unable to plug into each other.

I'm not kidding.

First of all, why are people who are hanging onto antiquated ideas that they think came from God trying to prove it with drawings of modern technology that we happen to call male and female? What the heck does THIS prove? Besides idiocy, I mean.

Also, why are they against Gay marriage in the first place? Many say it's because the Bible says so. Well, the bible says that man shall not lie down with man as he lies down with women.^{(Leviticus something:or other - look it up yourself)}

Gay men don't lie down with men as they lie down with women at all! They lay down with each other! No problem.

Leviticus is speaking not against homosexuality, but non-monogomous bisexuality. I didn't write it. I'm just typing about it. It's saying you can't have your cake and eat it too!

And while we're on the subject, note that the Bible doesn't say ANYTHING against women lying down together at all! So lesbianism is also okay, but for some reason it's okay for females to be bisexual, but not for males to be. That God guy had some weird rules back then.

The only rule for women was that they shouldn't "give themselves" to animals. So women can be bisexual, homosexual, or heterosexual, as long as they don't practice bestiality.

On the other hand, it's okay for men to practice heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bestiality, as long as they aren't bisexual.

So stop using the bible to argue against homosexuality anyway.

But I wasn't even going to post about whether or not it's OKAY to be homosexual. I was going to post about whether of not they can get MARRIED.

WHY THE HECK NOT?

Really? If it's so bad for the institution of marriage, than that institution must be pretty weak. If it was strong, it would ignore anyone practicing what it thought wasn't a valid marriage and leave it alone.

Obviously the problem isn't that gay marriage would damage traditional marriage by being bad. The problem is that gay marriage might damage traditional marriage by being GOOD.

The gay man next door is quiet, even when he has guests. But the married neighbors behind his house, diagonally from ours can be heard to yell "Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck ***YOU***!"

Maybe we could relearn a thing or two.
