My marriage is more sacred than yours

With the election hoopla I have been hearing a lot about a proposal in California to ban gay marriages.  

Didn't they already go over this?

I must admit, I've never understood the whole anti-gay marriage side of things.  Oh I've heard the arguments.  About how it's an act against the christian god or something.    I hate to break it to these folks, but marriage has been around a lot longer than their religion.   And I don't think any of those people would like it very much if they were told their commitment to each other was less sacred than some overblown broo-ha-ha like they have now days.

Oh, but what will you tell the kids?  I know exactly what I'm going to tell my kids, if they ask.  Love is love and I don't think anyone on this earth has the right to dictate who can love who.   If my son decides he wants a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend?  Well, that's his choice.  And if he wants to get married?  I better be invited to the wedding.

I once saw a sign that said "God hates fags."   I'm really not sure what god has against british cigarettes, but who am I to say?   Ohhh, you mean you think he/she hates homosexuals?  Did your deity tell you this in person?   No?   Then how do you know?  Oh yes, that bible thing.  You mean that book that was re-written under the order of  King James who was a well known homophobe, and had no problem in having the translations altered to fit his own views?  Yes, I can see how you and that boob would agree.

Really folks, don't we have bigger fish to fry than this?
