I just read an entry that I found AMAZING! Here is the link: http://progressiveu.org/211551-gay-life-our-dastardly-plan-destroy-insti....
I will start this off by saying that I am a big supporter of gay marriage and I believe that it is wrong to prohibit it even though I am not gay. And I am posting this, but in no way am I trying to start a debate or have someone tell me how horrible gay marriage is, because I know I will never be able to change your mind. Not only did I find this post awesomely hysterical with all the sarcasm, but the thing I loved the most about reading this blog was the responses that came from it. We look back on our ancestors and can not believe that they would ever treat African Americans the way that they did. Enslaving them, denying them the natural rights that EVERY HUMAN BEING SHOULD HAVE. I can’t help but wonder what my children and my children’s children are going to think of our generation. Are they going to look at them the same way I look at my great grandparents?
I understand the fight from the other side. One major issue is with religion. "The bible says gay marriage is bad" argument. I understand that, and you have the right as an American to believe whatever you want, however so does everyone else in this country. Just because your religion says that gay marriage is wrong, doesn’t mean that everyone else’s beliefs say that it is wrong.
I have rambled off in this post which I did not intend to do, however here is the main point I want to get across. We should act in a way that our grandchildren can look upon and be proud. By refusing rights to certain groups is wrong, and no matter what your beliefs are, one belief that almost everyone has is that we should treat people well, and I think we should all live off of that and not ideas. I personally want to be looked upon as open minded years from now. What do you want future generations to think of you?
Really?

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to cut down your opinions or tell you that you're wrong in what you believe but I have to say something about this. You say that everyone has the right to their own opinion on whether something is right or wrong. But right here you say that it's wrong to tell other people that you don't like their decisions which means you're doing exactly what you think they shouldn't do. I'm just going to throw the fact out there that I do not support gay marriage. Do I want people to be happy? Of course! Do I still love gay people every bit as much as straight people? 100%! But that doesn't mean I have to support their decisions. Because of my belief in the Bible I say that marriage is between a man and a woman. So it is only right that I would say that I oppose gay marriage if that means that Gods plan for marriage is being torn down. I don't put myself above gay people, every sin is equal so I am every bit as guilty as they are. I just feel that people get the wrong idea about Christian views on things. The "Christians" we see on TV are generally radical people who think that everyone is wrong and going to hell except for them. But REAL Christians follow Christ, they are loving of all people and only wish to help them out. To me, part of helping out is defending my beliefs.
