We are every where... even in your family....

Rarely will I put a link into my blogs. However, today is a rare exception. We, in America, are at the horizon of a day day in America. One final step to TRUE equality - and it will now rest in the hands of the United States Supreme Court. I felt it worthy to link the Huffington Post story that inspired today's words. Happy reading!

For those that are still sitting on the fence on this issue and those so hard core to the (oh so wrong) "right" side of it, consider this:

This isn't about religion. This is about equality and recognition that NO ONE in America is a second class citizen.

But, if you want to make it about religion, consider this: It is not your place to sit in God's judgment seat. Plenty of things "unGodly" go on in our society but if you are not willing to protest the poor treatment of people as vigorously as you would protest same gender marriage, then you need to reexamine your outrage and properly redirect your efforts. There are FAR more damaging things going on in our world then 2 people of the same gender getting married. Where is your outrage?

If you want to make this about the history of marriage, then you need to read up and study the historical truth. 1 man, many wives PLUS concubines. 1 rapist and his victim, plus many wives and concubines. 1 male slave forced to marry 1 or more female slaves to bred more slaves for the owner. The list of "traditional marriage" goes on and on. If you want traditional marriage, then wives you must TRULY submit to your husbands. If you aren't, then you are already outside the Biblical context of marriage. 

Let's not make marriage look all pretty and glorious from the start - it isn't, in historical truth, a pretty thing at all, regardless of what we feel it is TODAY (today isn't history until tomorrow, so I just deflated that argument of "historically marriage is about 1 man and 1 woman). What destroys the family? Divorce after divorce after divorce. Cheating spouses. Abusive spouses. Falling out of love. Certainly not the queers (unless you or your spouse are closeted gay folk and one of you comes out and gets a divorce so the other can live a truthful life... yes, then I will admit gay marriage destroys opposite gender marriage).

And further consider this truth: Whether you like it or not, you have gay people in your family (This isn't Iran where the proclaim they have NO gay people... let's get real here). Whether you like it or not, one or more of those may be your children (who is closeted out of FEAR of you and your behavior if they were "out") and if not your children then at some point some descendant directly from you (grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc). Afterall, evidently gay people have been around since almost the dawn of humanity if not AT the dawn of humanity. You are doing nothing more than squashing their souls. Torturing your own flesh and blood. STOP AND THINK:

The person you are busy hating is bound to be someone you love.
