We think way too much

Alrighty! With this post I will finally be caught up with 30 days of truth... hopefully I won't let myself fall so far behind again haha.

Day 18: Your views on gay marriage.

Oh boy... let's just delve into one of the most touchy subjects out there! I am all for gay marriage... I don't think there is anyone reason two people who are of age and sound mind can't make the decision that they want to spend the rest of their lives with someone and get married.

And so what if its two men? Or two women? They love each other and want to make that committment... which is something rare I'm finding these days even among straight people.

So many people get married for the wrong reasons, or to the wrong people, and with the divorce rate so high... the whole... sanctity of marriage thing has gone quite askew.

So if two people are willing to take that leap of faith... who am I to say they can't? And I know some argue that oh... well if we let gays get married then pedophiles will want to marry little kids, or crazy weirdos will want to marry animals... I just see no logic in this arguement.

A pedophile marrying a kid would never be made legal, and should never be made legal, because that is actually damaging to child and a child is not of age to give consent.

Same goes for animals, yeah maybe they wouldn't be damaged, but they can't exactly give consent. So I feel as long as it doesn't hurt or damage anyone... and the people are able to give consent... then go for it.

And as for the whole religous argument... if there is a god out there... I don't understand why he would have someone be born gay... if it was a "sin". Show me one gay person out there that CHOSE to be gay... why would anyone want to live such a hard life? I'm sorry... but you are born gay, in my opinion.

This lil cartoon makes a good point...
