How in the world is it any of your business who I would like to marry? I happen to be a heterosexual, white male and wanted to marry a heterosexual, white female. And because of that it is totally cool with everyone that we married. Now, if I had been a homosexual male and wanted to marry another homosexual male, that would have really set some people off. Why? Did I get freaked out and protest when Britney wanted to marry that guy for fun a few years ago and then get a divorce? Did I get freaked out and protest when she did it again a few years later? No. Do you know why? BECAUSE IT IS NONE OF MY DAMN BUSINESS! NONE! Why would I care what Britney is doing? Similarly, why would anyone in their right mind think it is any of their business what two consenting adults are doing to and with each other in their free time? These people are not hurting anyone. They are not trying to force you to gay marry. They are trying to express their love and commitment for each other within the model that has been set before them. Sure, there are flaws in the model but it is the only one we have. Please, for the love of God, just leave them alone. There are far greater battles to be fought then trying to deny these poor people happiness. If you truly want to make a difference in the world go volunteer at a soup kitchen or humane society. Work with Big Brothers Big Sisters or donate money to the Red Cross. There are far, FAR more pressing matters that deserve your attention. And, no, God does not hate homosexuals anymore than he hates anyone else. “God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him” (1 John 4:16)
Sorry for the rambling nature of this post. Sometimes I just can not control it.
Thank you for your time.

Dear OP-OH,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I don't think we're doing our world a favor by denying people anything. I think we do the world a favor when we provide things: freedom, safety, and dignity.
We meet more needs with soup and service than we do with picket signs and fear speech.
I love you.
