I greatly enjoy, and agree with, the recent post made by a
fellow government student entitled, “Same Sex Marriage.” Although I think that
the legal road that needs to be taken in order to pass same sex marriage laws
will be a long and rough one, I think that it is something that can in fact be
done, and needs to be done. I think that the only thing stopping these laws
from coming to pass is, as her post so acutely put it, fear. I could not agree more, and had to laugh out
loud, when I read the comment about Tiger Woods and Kim Kardashian. It’s true,
straight people have been successfully making a mockery of the sanctity of
marriage for decades now. So, if the
sanctity of marriage is obviously not the problem here, I must agree with you,
it’s all about fear. I do believe that the main source of fear directed at the
homosexual life style stems from Christianity. Apparently, according to the Old
Testament in the Bible, homosexuality is an abomination to God, and if we are
taking the Old Testament literally, I sure hope none of you good Christians have
had any shrimp, lobster, rabbit, pork, etc. recently (Leviticus 11:4-47), or
have wore any clothing of mixed fabrics (Leviticus 19:19), because apparently
those things are abominations to God as well. There is although, a list in Proverb 6:16-19
of things that God apparently does hate, and homosexuality isn’t one of them. So yes, I believe your post was extremely
insightful and accurate. Ignorant fear is what is stopping numerous upstanding citizens
of this country from being able to have a lawful union with the person they
choose to love. I also support gay
marriage.
