Gay Marriage

Warning: Post will be unnecessarily very graphic; read at your own caution.

Picture this: ugly, naked man goes down on his wife whose vagina is covered with what one can only assume is her pubic hair. As the husband maneuvers through the jungle, he thinks: “at least I won’t need to floss tonight.” He eventually finds his target and gets busy. Disturbing image, right? Now picture this: two gay guys having anal. I will assume, only because I give my readers the benefit of the doubt, you find the tale of the heterosexual couple more unsettling than the homosexual couple. If you think about, regardless of gender, it’s actually the idea of sex that makes most Americans uncomfortable.

Raised in a protestant nation, conservative Americans are uncomfortable (or simply confused) at the notion of two men (or two women for that matter) loving each other. And if two men shouldn’t love each, then they certainly shouldn’t get married to one another. What I don’t understand is how heterosexual people are affected if two gay people get married. According to dictionary.com marriage is defined as “the legal or religious ceremony that formalizes the decision of two people to live as a married couple.” If you notice the key word is “people,” not man and woman.

Marriage is supposed to be a one of the most memorable events that occurs in your life yet ~10% of Americans cannot participate simply because of their sexual orientation. You are not allowed to strip someone of their rights, especially something as simple as marriage, because they are different from you. For those of you who are into “tradition” and live by the constitution, amendment 14 gives all US citizens equal rights under the equal protection clause. Apparently marriage is a privilege, but the problem is that gay people haven’t done anything to not deserve it. You cannot choose to be gay; you just are gay. Watch this standup act by Louis CK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPvVnrV1tow&feature=related. He speaks the truth; idiotic objectors have no reason to deny gays the right to marriage besides the fact that it makes them feel uneasy. It is perfectly natural to feel awkward at the thought of two men making out, but as I pointed out earlier it is also discomforting to think of a straight sexual couple making love. I’m guessing dissidents just hope that gay people will cease to exist; well they are here to stay, so treat them like human beings. Remember, America is a nation based on freedom for all of its citizens.

Blacks became a “whole person” in 1866, woman’s suffrage started in 1919 and now its time to let gays get married. Grow up America; I know I have.
