Same-Sex Marriage Thrashed

It's disappointing. Truly disappointing. I'm glad Obama won the election, but at the same time I'm saddened that Proposition 8 in California passed. A part of me asked, "Where's the justice in this world?" One minority is up, but another minority got thrashed. To counter the irony of it, it's one of the minorities who thrashed the other minority.

Seven in ten Africa-Americans supported Prop 8, cuz there were apparently more of them attending churches than Euro-Americans. And as we all know, many church-goers are all for the "natural marriage is only between one man and one woman" theory.

Personally, I don't think a gay couple or lesbian couple is offending anyone by getting married. It offends their beliefs, but not people in general. I mean, do you lose your dignity or morals or values when two men are committed, on paper, to stay happily for as long as it takes? No, that's cuz its their business, not yours. Does it affect the money in your wallet when same-sex marriage occurs? Actually, I think it costs more if you try to oppose something, rather than open up your mind and let people be as they are. Look at how much was spent just on Proposition 8.
$75 million.
Wow, no wonder inflation happens and taxes increase.

They think they know what God wants. Honestly, if God were really great, I believe He will want each and every one of us to be happy. What's the point of believing in God, trying to be all holy and then turning around and making others angry and unhappy? If God doesn't control us, I don't think we should be controlling each other either. If God didn't like gays and lesbians, he wouldn't create any at all if he didn't think it'd be fun and varied to have a few different types of people around. And I highly doubt he'll object to the products of his creation deciding to be together. Happy together.

I think the thought of same-sex marriage is a sore-eye to proposers of Prop 8, so they push it on what is "natural". Well, in my opinion, happiness is a natural thing. If you really wanna believe in "natural", then leave others be if they're happy with what they want. Just because you think it's weird or "unnatural", you're putting others in a very uncomfortable and unsatisfying spot. Did your heart actually rejoice when you saw those two girls, Kristina Haas and Jennifer Briz, crying? Well, then, I question your merit.
Loosen up your beliefs a little. Is your belief so important to you that you have to put others down?

Despite the disappointing result, however, I still believe that America will come around eventually. As Ampersand said, 61% of Californians were in favor of only heterosexual marriage in 2000, while it's down to 52% in less than ten years. It won't be long before California comes back, and a few other states will be tagging along as well.

I still have faith in humanity.
