Why I (Begrudgingly) Support Gay Marriage

By: Natalie Josef (View Profile)

So you won’t see me in the front of the parade waving a gay marriage flag, in fact, I hate parades, but I can and will fight for something that is righteous, even if I don’t want it for myself. It has and always will be wrong to deny people anything on the basis of being different. I don’t care how you spin it. Take that civil union crap and … well, you know what I mean. Separate but equal never worked. There is no difference between the love that any two people feel for each other, so the ultimate expression of that love shouldn’t have different words. It’s marriage or … there is no “or.” It’s marriage for all or for none. Love doesn’t care, so why should we?

I believe everyone has the right to suffer through the pains of a nagging spouse ... equality for all! I believe that's the philosophy of America.

Charmaine, look at your paycheck and compare gross and net figures Government already takes half of what you earn regardless of your sexual orientation.

With marriage cames inevitable divorce. It should be fun to watch the statistics.

The bible has been used to deny people rights for so long.It is HIGh time we stopped using it to opress and started using it to liberate.If we would leave all this to GOD it would be so liberating.Let God be the bad guy.That's what she's there for you know.Let go and let God ? in God we trust ?It is amazing to me that we used the bible to justify slavery.It was used to justify denying women rights.Now it is being used to hate gays.So sad.If we are to take the Bible at face value and use it for this then why are we picking and choosing ? Let's all get some slaves and take away what little rights women have too.Let's get back to women being the property of their husband and not alllowed to get an education.Eh? Who's with me ?Cause if you are against gay marriage because the Bible says so then you are for slavery and women's submission too.
