Gay Marriage

Before I begin on my rant about gay marriage, I think that is important to disclose that I am referring solely to the situation and controversy in the United States of America. Although I agree that it should be allowed world-wide, I have no reference point to look from in other political, social, or weather climate.

Gay people have been around for a long time, possibly since very on during evolution, but since human kind has become more civilized, we have begun to act less civilized towards them. To many liberals, and even many conservatives, it is unfathomable how people can act this way, both in the public and private sector.

If you ask any anti-gay-marriage politician, they will undoubtedly bring up the only real argument that they have, raising children, but, if they were not in politics, I can almost guarantee that they would have something to say about Christianity and the sanctity of marriage, and the only reason they don't is because of that damned "separation of church and state" that always seems to get in the way!

Let's start off with the first argument, the only possibly viable one, the adopted children. (On a side note, it is believed by some scientists that the evolutionary reason for homosexuality is to prevent some genetic code from passing on to the next generation). Yes, it is possible, if not likely, that a gay couple will adopt, (with or without marriage, by the way), but as any parent knows, a lot more goes into parenting than simply your sexuality, and there is no real test for quality of parenting between sexualities. Children of straight couples are abused and it goes unreported every day, possibly in part because the child was an accident - something that can not happen in a gay relationship, by the way.

Next, the Christian ideal of marriage. It is surprising to me that most of the people that are anti-gay marriage are conservative, favoring less government interference in lives. You argue that government interference leads to bad things, when it's something you don't want, but argue that it's needed when two women want to get married? Going along with that, the first amendment to the constitution clearly states

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

That is to say, if a religion allows, or requires gay marriage to exist, Congress can never pass a law to prohibit it, and although I have not done research on the topic, I am sure there is a religion existent, or willing to be created, forcing gay marriage.

Gay people exist. Get over it.
