Gay Marriage….

I’m sorry but I feel I have to come at this one from two angles.

First of all, what is the difference between Marriage and civil partnership?  Is this what ‘civilised’ man has come to.  We have been on this planet for thousands of years,  its only been within the last couple of hundred of years that ‘commoners’ have been able to or bothered to get married in some sort of church or state sanctioned way.  What is all the fuss about, apart from the legal side of things (a government problem); find someone you want to be with and be with them!  It’s not difficult.  If you want to ensure that your partner of choice gets your inheritance write a will.

Second, the only real argument against gay marriage is a religion one.  Closed minded religions probably hate the fact that you’re gay in the first place so find a church that will accept you and bless your partnership.

Even the religious argument is flawed, I’m sure most religions have a similar phrase to ‘turn the other cheek’ which is basically – live and let live.

So, the bottom line is; it’s nobody’s business who does what to whom in the privacy of their own homes (as long as it’s legal and with consent) and if people want to get married in some form or other - who are we to say that they cannot.

If you believe your god created this world and all that is in it; then he must have created gay people – how can god be wrong?

Peace, love and freedom
