What will these Liberals do next? Start Christian prosecution?” “This
won’t change the definition of marriage.” I read. This was a down-home Christian’s
response to the latest equality breakthrough in America- That Gay marriage is
now legal in all 50 states.
Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and
self-victimization, but alright, I bite. What is Christian prosecution? Is it
the slaying of millions? Is it the incarceration of Christians? What, man,
What? TELL ME.
Or is it the threat of having your longstanding, outdated ideals of
life shunned by future generations? I can tell you one thing: GAY MARRIGE HAS BEEN AROUND MUCH LONGER
THAN CHRISTIANITY.
Can you believe that there was once an ancient world where intersex
relations were welcomed and even respected at a level higher than that of a straight
match? Crazy stuff! But it’s true. Once the Dark Ages approached, the world was
drawn into a state of dormant solitude. Some of the most beautiful religions
were inverted and destroyed because of the rise of Christianity.
So I guess these people have always been walking backward (ha-ha…). In
our reality today, yes, more people are shunning the ways of Christianity. Are
we godless heathens? No, many of us do have chosen deities and philosophies. So
why don’t the beliefs of other religions play any role in American culture?
Wiccans are freaks, Buddhists are hippie Asians, and lets not even mention the
hundreds of tribal religions that dot North America.
Recently I took a trip to see my ex-boyfriend turned transvestite. I
needed to release negativity, what? If you don’t know, this blog is Colorado
based, and here in Colorado, Gay Marriage has been legal for some time. It just
so happened that the part of town where the record stores are was where the
very… colourful Pride Fest was happening. I was surprised by the fact that 1. There
were no protesters out and about, and 2. Just what a safe haven Denver has
become for these people.
The girls were hot, the guys were gorgeous. Everyone was happy to be
there and be loved. NO H8 if you will. I didn’t see a single thing that
disgusted me or made me uncomfortable (other than my ex). They were gay,
straight, trans, and bi, all gathered in one place for the same reason. They
were there to respect each other, have a good time, and most importantly, they
were there to treat each other like Human beings.
That’s all I saw. PEOPLE being PEOPLE. Tell me now, what is it that
defines what people can love? I love my dog and steak, but what is it that
makes me look at the person I’m currently with and say: “I Love You”? I can
tell you that it is no act of the pushing and pulling of Church against State.
Who are you, Old Christian Fellow, to decide what the definition of marriage is?
If you don’t want Gays to marry, don’t let them do so in your church, if that
is what makes you happy. To deny someone the greatest gift of all, a companion
in life, is cruel and unfair.
It still takes a state document to say two people are married, so
going to the church is only a personal preference. Trust me, there are much
more beautiful locations to give your last first kiss than in a sticky, stinky
old chapel.
So Mr. I’m better than that, who are you? What right do you have to
take away love from two people who probably have more in common than you and
your shotgun wife?
It is time to ditch middle age propaganda and get with the times. We
are America, not Britain in 1350. We pride ourselves on our freedom and
liberty, so let’s finally free ourselves and liberate our sexually oppressed brethren!
