Gay Marriage: Where Fantasy And Reality Meets

The recent verdict from the High Court on gay marriage is appalling. I never knew that the day would come in America where two men can be wife and husband or husband and husband and where two women can be wives. Seems weird and unusual to me. To make it worse the court’s 5-4 decision dictating that gay marriage is legal in all 50 states crossed the line. Since when can five individuals dictate to the rest of us how to live our sexual lives and what decisions States should make? It’s ironic because these some of these same justices have in the past wrote dissents that certain decisions are best left to states. But I guess the gay marriage agenda is not. That’s odd. And you know what? When you bring up the issue folk are quick to compare gay marriage to civil rights and even to interracial marriage. One has nothing to do with the other. Our sexual lives are best left up to the privacy of our bedrooms and not the public. The far left has politicized the issue to ensure that the democrats win as many votes during this presidential election season. It might backfire though because the religious right will come out in groves to ensure a White House win. If we believe that gay marriage will be the driving force in the upcoming elections we’re wrong. As in former times it will be the economy. People simply want to eat and find jobs; and feed their families.
I’m sick and tired to be honest of seeing on the news day after day issues pertaining to our sexual orientation. Those who are pushing the gay marriage agenda should be careful to not ram the issue down the throats of us who have a different point of view. What people do in the privacy of their lives and in their bedrooms is their own business and the rest of us shouldn’t care if they wear boxes or panties. I’m also fed up of hearing the media harass politicians and every day citizens about whether or not they support gay marriage. I wish to God that they stop asking this question. It’s a trap because if the person says “no” they’re now in trouble. And that’s not fair. We all have a right to have our own beliefs and views based on our upbringing, culture, experiences and religion. It’s getting old when all we want to focus on is people’s sexual orientation. I wish those who are pushing the gay marriage agenda would tone it down a bit. Tone down the rhetoric and stop being divisive.
Regardless, and in as much that five justices decided to their decision down our throat, it still doesn’t change anything. For the folks who I’ve talked with and those who have been outspoken with their opinion; marriage still remains the same – a marital bond between one man and one woman. As far as I know in the hearts and minds of so many of us, it will always remain that way. Simply, a piece of paper issued by a judge or the courts still won’t change anything and still has not. We can chose to live in fantasy land or get on board and get back to reality. And the sooner the better. Let’s all tell the high court to butt out of our business and allow us to make our own decisions. And the sooner we do that, the better off we will be.
