Nothing was more heartbreaking then the Albany Senate voting down gay marriage.
Sigh
It's amazing how elected officials, who "vote their conscience" have forgotten that that's not what they got elected to do for the people of NY. Here's a reminder: You're suppose to protect our rights!
What do you fear, people!?! If my partner of 13 years and I get hitched....what does it harm? Are you afraid we really will stay together 'till death do us part' and shame all you het politicians that can't keep a marriage going for more than a few years? That if we stay faithful and monogamous to each other, you will be embarrassed that you cheat on your wives on a regular basis?
Are you worried we are "NORMAL"! That if you make "gay" legal....there's no excuse why YOU'RE in the closet!!
Whatever their reasons, they let down a large number of their voters, and the families that wanted to go to weddings of their children, siblings and friends. They let an opportunity to help our limping economy in NY, by having all those weddings. They continue to make some people "special" with one set of rights, while another set have to continue to pay more to exist on a daily basis.
Gay is OK folks! It happens in nature all the time.
Where homosexuality got a bad wrap and had to go underground...I'm not sure. Isn't it just another facet of Human Sexuality? Bisexuals get better respect than 'Mos. I mean isn't the bi-curious girl in every porn movie ever made? All men want two women at some point. And for you bible freaks, didn't Jesus have his apostles leave their wives, to put on dresses and sandals and hang out together all the time? Ruth left her home, pregnant, to live with Naomi. And they raised the child as their own. Totally unheard of in those times.
I mean, if two male buffalo hook up and decide to live together, do we really lose sleep over that?
Male seahorses actually have the babies. Hmmmm....human men have nipples.....why isn't everyone worried we might just switch things over and have the dudes carry the babies. I mean, aren't the chances of that about as great as hets getting that 51% divorce rate under control?
If I was a bad person, I could see where you get that 'abnormal' thing from. But Laura and are about the most normal folks you're going to run across. As my sister said, we have the strongest relationship she knows of, including all her straight friends!
Tell ya what...I won't get married in your church, but I would like to get married. I just need the same 1,400 rights you have. I'm not asking for MORE rights...just the same. And really, if you want to talk about it, I would love to calmly discuss it. I'm really easy to get along with. Seriously...ask anyone that knows me. I'm downright...well...NORMAL!
