i wish someone would explain to me this obsession with gay marriage.........this fear that somehow allowing two people of the same gender to marry harms others.........threatens "traditional" marriage...........
more than half of all traditional marriages end..........domestic violence is overwhelmingly a hetersexual relationship problem........
i just don't get it.......
some member of congress on tv last night saying the fight will continue to save marriage.......keep it between a man and a woman.......that one makes me laugh.....i am trembling in my shoes over how frightened i am that the gays are somehow out to destroy my hetero marriage.......
please.......
i am a hetero..........i am married..........i have a female friend who is in a relationship with another woman and has been for several years........very happy together........this is a threat to me in what way again?
i just don't get it.......
some have said it's an unhealthy environment for children, to be raised in a gay household......i am 40 years old but i still have a 3 year old child within me.........all i remembered as a little child was wanting to be loved.........comforted, held, accepted for who i was........praised.......encouraged..........all of those little dynamics that come from love in action......do heterosexual couples have the market on love? given the childhood conditions i was raised in, i'd have traded in my hetero parents for gay parents if i was promised i would receive the love i needed.......all ya need is love.........have the beatles words disappeared from our world?
i just don't get it......
we have people working hard and living in poverty (my hub and i are amongst the numbers)..........we have people losing their homes and their savings because of the greedy actions of corporations........we have tax breaks for the wealthy and corporate welfare.....we have people who are without health insurance (ditto)...........we have a housing market that has sky rocketed so dramatically, the american dream has become almost unreachable for many (uh, ditto again).........we have jobs that have left this beautiful country only to be slowly replaced by part-time, low wage service jobs at the big box stores.....a kabillion more wal marts were built...........THE ECONOMY IS THRIVING!!!........uh huh.......we have all of these issues that truly do hurt our people and yet our government spends time attacking a group of individuals simply based on who they love..........
i just don't get it......
do you?
