Supreme Court OKs Gay Marriage

Wow! My first blog entry . . . and on a very timely subject.

Today, in a 4-3 ruling, the California Supreme Court overturned a state law that allowed only opposite-sex couples to marry. The court also affirmed that heterosexual couples are in no way harmed by same-sex unions.

As expected, Radical Religious Right Theocrats are threatening to change California’s constitution to legislate their anti-gay discrimination.

Every time one of these hate-filled people gets in front of a microphone, some stupid blather comes out.

Here are my rebuttals for several of the most common arguments they make to rationalize their position . . .

“Marriage needs to be protected from gays cheapening it.”

Marriage has always been granted exclusively to heterosexuals and yet 41-43% of marriages end in divorce. There’s a tremendous amount of fighting and grief caused by its dissolution and children are usually the ones most harmed by it. It would seem to me that marriage actually needs protecting from straight people who are doing a pretty good job devaluing it on their own.

“Marriage is for having and raising children.”

Really?!? Then old straight people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because their child-bearing years have passed -- right? And infertile couples can’t get married either. Sorry, just following the RRR rules.

Many single parents and unmarried couples raise children. So, as for that argument -- FAIL!

“If gays are allowed to marry then what’s next -- will they want to marry their {insert species here}?”

Why do you intolerant whack-jobs always say this? If you’re truly worried about this then you need some serious f**king therapy because YOU are the one who’s sick!

“God created Adam & Eve not Adam & Steve.”

Please spare me this PATHETIC CRAP! If you believe that God created man in his own image -- then that means a part of God (experts say 10%) must have feelings for his fellow man.

I’m just sayin’!

Hmmm, how did that get turned on? J/K! :)

Today’s modern generation doesn’t have a problem with LGBT persons.

The problem is with OLD people, who are scared by gay people, probably because they don’t know or have never bothered to share in the lives of their LGBT friends and family members. It’s certainly a lot easier to be nasty and exclusionary to people you don’t know.

It is time for these hate groups to move on and stop WASTING taxpayer money with endless initiatives and court challenges. The State cannot afford it -- financially nor socially.
