Antiquated Marrige Ideals Today

  

   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Or is it the threat of having your longstanding, outdated ideals of life shunned by future generations?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!
