I’ve written about this in a opinion piece “Same-sex-marriage is waiting for victory” for Insight Magazine.
We are born with the right to marry. Why is it revoked the moment we oust ourselves?
Why does society continue to coddle and embrace this mantra about the “defense of marriage”?
Let’s “defend” the argument that two-thirds of married couples divorce.
Today, the LGBT community were denied their basic civil rights, as New York Senate “defeated” the gay marriage billl
Defeated nothing – you just wait. This blemish on our history has to end. There will come a time when people can marry who they want because they love them. If you cannot defend love between humans then what can you defend? Nothing.
There is simply no argument against gay marriage. Any argument leads back to religion – an institution that has no place in our government. Oh, and by the way, the government has no place in our personal lives.
This should be simple.
This should be in the past.
New York State Senator Diane Savino, in her speech to the Senate today, spoke of a man who asked her about the bill, and they decided that if they wanted to, they could go down to City Hall and marry one another.
The fact that something so ludicrious is legal, yet gay marriage is not, really astounds me.
She asks, “What are we really protecting?”
And I ask that question to you. Are we protecting love? Try again.
New York Governor David Patterson’s response essentially echoes this. He said that if people had voted with their consciences today, we’d be celebrating equality tonight.
A comment on that article basically states that they fear the democrats were used for money on this issue. I don’t want to think that the President will hold back on his promises to liberate us. I don’t want to think that.
So I will keep hoping for that day when people are really equal.
I may have a professional self to keep up but I will never repress that I am openly, proudly bisexual. You know why? Because I can still work and produce and make a difference in this world regardless of who I am attracted to. To suppress that for anything would be muting a very part of my soul that I use everyday to function and give back to this society. How could you, a human just like me, ask that from me? You can’t so don’t.
