Look at Gay Marriage
We meet. We fall in love. We
want to share our lives together. We want
to build our family. Sound right? Not
if you happen to love someone of the
same sex. Then all judgements come to
the forefront. "It's a sin." " It's against
my religion." "It's unnatural." "It's an
abomination!" Really? Is it? Or is it two
people who happen to love each other.?
Who want the same things that "you"
want.
"Marriage is for procreation!"
you say. What happens when there is no
procreation. When a couple cannot have
children. When a couple chooses not to
have children. When you get old. When
love and companionship are all you need
and want.
Who is anyone to be the judge of
how other people live their lives? Why do
you care? How does that have an effect
on your life? I listen to people say all the
reasons gay couples should not get mar-
ried. I can assure you, there are people
in your family who are gay. Neighbors.
