Gay Marriage

[mburbank]

I don't feel like my marriage is all that threatened by the idea of Gay marriage. I don't feel like I need my marriage legall defended from gay marriage. I think anyone who does feel their marriage is threatened needs to take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of their marriage.

I don't feel marriage is directly tied to procreation. That would let out a lot of infertile marrieds I know.

I don't think God cares about who puts what in whom. I think God cares that we love each other and treat each other well.

As for the traditions of human history, all I really care about is that same sex couples have the same legal rights and advantages as my wife and I do. I think they should be able to make key medical decision for each other, visit each other in the hospital, etc. etc. etc.

As for the idea it's unnatural, who says? Maybe it's a perfectly natural, built in population control device.

Rick Santorum says it opens the door for incestous marriages. I think Rick is 'thinking' about incest a little too much. Last I checked, marriages have to be consensual. Is he saying there's a lot of consensual incest going on out there we don't know about?

I just don't think any of the arguments wash. I think the people who are up in arms about this are way too shrill. I think it all boils down to being revolted by and afraid off Homosexuality, and simple, garden variety hatred.
