Rights Are for Everyone
I wish that all of the citizens of America understood that they aren’t God. How I live my life and the personal decisions I make are between me and God. In the end, it is God that I will answer to; not those that think they have the right to tell me how to live my life. If you don’t agree with things that people do- then don’t do them yourselves. Live your life the way YOU want to- and mind your own business. I don’t live my life for other people and NO one should ever have to.
I’m not going to make this a “political” blog… There are plenty of more qualified and elequent people out there who are kicking ass in that respect. But know that I am against the taking away of rights from people simply because others might not agree with them.
California will be voting on Prop 8 in November and I hope that the voters make the right choice by voting NO. If you’re against gay marriage- then don’t participate in it. If you’re against equal rights for everyone, then you should probably re-examine your own life, and why it is you feel the need to deny opportunities for people you don’t know anything about simply because you disagree with who they love.
Homosexuality is no more a choice than is heterosexuality. That’s a fact. And just because it’s possible to find gays who hate themselves for it, wish they weren’t and struggle to live “hetero” lives, doesn’t prove otherwise. Being gay in this country isn’t easy, thanks to those that try so fucking hard to make it difficult. It’s time to knock that shit off and take a step forward, instead of backward.
Peace and God loves gays too, even if you don’t.

I completely agree. You go girl, those opposed can suck it. And by “it” I mean big monkey balls.

I agree with you. No one should be able to dictate the rights of another human being!

I agree - just as everyone has a right to self-defense with a gun, everyone has a right to get married, regardless of their sexual preference. My mother always told me, “other people’s rights stop at the end of your nose.” So what other people do is irrelevant to me, and what I do should be irrelevant to them.
I’ve had many gay friends, and even gay roommates. They’re usually very nice people, even when they’re all bitched out. They’re not a threat to anyone except themselves (if they practice unsafe sex). I feel bad for them, because there will always be people who attack them out of prejudice. And, in some states, they’ve discovered that they may be allowed to get married, but it can be difficult to get a divorce (Massachussetts, I think). That was an unforeseen consequence.
It will be interesting to see what the California electorate says in November. The Proposition mechanism is a fascinating exercise of democracy.

I wish you could really convince the people who need convincing that God DOES love people. It kills me when someone balks at gays demanding “special rights.” Marriage isn’t a “special right.” It’s EVERYONE’s right.

Thank you- awesome supporters of Prop 8! You all rock hard!
We are not government property and if other people don’t agree with the “gay lifestyle” then they should ignore it. It doesn’t have anything to do with them anyway!
Like JD said- it’s EVERYONE’S right! And if others don’t believe so, then they should remind themselves that it’s between GOD and those in love. PERIOD.

LOL You sure are living up to the name “My Random Blog”
Just make that episode of Southpark with Big Gay Al’s Animal Shelter mandatory television programming. That might clear the heads of some of these prejudiced people (or get them even more fired up, one of the two!)

Nicely done. I have lesbian couples as neighbors and one of the women adopted the other woman as her child so they could both have health insurance and all the other rights family members enjoy. How stupid is that? If they were just allowed to be married there wouldn’t be a need for these kinds of desperate and crazy measures.

I live in a town with an extremely high percentage of gay people. I think we’re 2nd or 3rd behind San Francisco, based on per capita. I have met some really great people here who have never been straight in their lives, and other’s who discovered their true selves later in life. Regardless of sexual preference, they are people just like you and me, and there is reason-based decision to prevent them from marrying. It’s a mistake in the first place, and if they want to experience divorce, that should be their choice, not something that needs to be voted in.
My own personal cynicism showing here.

Excuse me, that should’ve read - there is NO reason-based decision to prevent them from marrying.
