What the hell is wrong with gay marriage???

The arguments? Some are saying that it should be outlawed because the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin. Now, keep in mind that Christianity is not the only religion in the United States. There are plenty of other people who practice other religions, as well as a number of atheists and agnostics in this country. If you think that homosexuality is a sin, then that's your opinion. Don't be homosexual. There are lots of people (myself included) that don't see anything wrong with homosexuality. And really, what is wrong with it? As far as I can see, they aren't hurting anybody by happening to prefer the same sex.

Some are saying that homosexuality is a choice. I somehow doubt that...why would anyone choose to be homosexual? Who on earth would choose to be unaccepted by half of society and to have to defend their sexuality?

The other day I read about this one child, born Bruce Reimer, that had undergone a sex change after a botched cirumcision. Bruce was then renamed Brenda and raised as a girl. They never told Brenda that she had had a sex change as an infant, so as far as Brenda was concerned, she was female. However, Brenda never developed an interest in boys.

Granted, this is an unusual case, but it just seems to me that the whole situation points to the fact that sexual orientation is not necessarily a choice.

Some people just think that watching gay couples being all couple-y is disgusting. Well, I think watching ugly (and by ugly I mean so ugly you cringe when you look at them, as mean as that sounds) couples being all couple-y is unpleasant but you don't see anyone trying to put a ban on them.

Keep in mind that x amount of years ago, interracial marriages were considered taboo as well and were outlawed with the anti-miscegenation law of the early 1900's. That was stupid. But society did not accept interracial couples and that's why the law was passed.

You must must must have a look at Margaret Cho's blog. More specifically, check out her archives and her "More Letters to Margaret" (there should be three parts) entries. She has a very refreshing (albeit irreverent, even in my eyes) take on God and how God and homosexuality could peacefully coexist.

Unfortunately for both you and me, I can't seem to express myself very eloquently, and argument has never been my strong point. In any case, I hope I got my point across.

I am entitled to my own opinion, and you are certainly entitled to yours. What I don't think is fair is imposing these opinions on others when these others aren't hurting anyone.

Very un-well put, but that'll do for now.

Goo goo goo and ta ta.
