It's intrigues to me to see and hear how naive people can be. To believe that the world should function in only one manner in order for it to work. For example, I was having a debatable conversation with an old friend about gay marriage and equality, now I respect different point of views to an extent, you have to know what you're talking about before trying to have a debate with me. Anyway, the conversation went on about what's right and what's viewed as wrong, here we go. Breeders (Straight People) are generally afraid of change because to allow Gays to marry would so called, ruin the sanction of what marriage entails. So to me what is being said, is that marriage should be a contract only entered if one person's life is ruined by pregnancy then marriage should follow. Or a sanction in which one person marries a millionaire only to inherit the money after a sudden death of the millionaire. And finally that marriage should only be entered into when sufficient time has passed and instead of starting the dating game again, might as well marry since by chance you already 1+ kids together, or from a financial stand point it makes sense to remain together. And, let's not forget the quick marriage only entered for a year then decided that it wasn't really the greatest experience that everyone else said it was going to be, and ends in divorce.
Instead of marriage being entered for the mere reason as two people loving each other more than words can express, the ultimate showcase would be to commit to each other for life, and to celebrate this union with friends and family and to be recognized by all that these two people love each other so much, no matter what, they are together for life.People would like the "Sanction" of marriage to be the listed as the first paragraph above. That to me is naive. What should it matter if the two happen to be of the same sex or opposite sex, or opposite sex than changed to be the same or vise versa. The fact of the matter is, that all "God" really wanted for us is to be happy, if you take the Bible literally. Which leads me to another point you can't take verses from the Bible to suit your own agenda because the opponent group can do the same and it's an endless battle of versus and scriptures that ultimately are proven to contradict each other in these manners. Not to mention the fact that the so called "Bible" has been re-written over a hundred times to accommodate interpretations that make sense today, which are not what the original scriptures may have meant. And is a collaboration of stories and tales told from perspectives of different people, told by friends of them and put together because at one point or another were spoken to by God or had a vision.
Back to my main point, it's naive to believe that life has to be lived in one manner, by saying that only Breeders are allowed to marry, and gays are not, it's saying that only white people have the right to be here and other races do not, because they don't fit the "right" description. Look around people the world is made up of differences, different races, cultures, people, languages, colors, etc. So to think that marriage is to only remain one main definition is completely unrealistic.
The Gay couple that lives across the street from you, the one's you strongly opposed the right for equality, are not equal enough to enter into marriage because they happen to be of the same sex. But are however, equal enough to take care of your teenage daughter's child, the one she was too young to take care of on her own. The child you made her put up for adoption because you knew that as a family you could not give this child the love and family it deserved. No, the Gays could not enter marriage because you thought it was wrong, but it's not wrong for them to adopt this child and give it the love and family you never could. Come on! don't you think that's pretty naive. Because after all who do you think adopts all those unwanted children that are left behind by teenage mothers, cracked out parents, and unfit parents... that's right the loving Gay couple. Think about that before you go and judge someone because of what they look on the outside, should that really account for the love they feel on the inside. Marriage Equality
