Let's Just Get On With Life Already!

So Obama proclaims publicly that he is in support of gay marriage.

Yay!

If only I knew ahead of time that proclaiming such a simple thing could make me so beloved.

You know I’m glad he did it.  I’m not saying he shouldn’t have.  Maybe he should have said that a long time ago.

My issue is; WHY IS THIS EVEN STILL AN ISSUE?

It really bugs me actually. 

How can any one person in the world tell a couple that they cannot marry because it’s against the law?  This is so archaic!

Why is it that anything ‘different’ from the mainstream must be over-analyzed and beaten to death? And I’m sorry, but why do laws and statutes come in line so closely to religion?

Religion and Politics are two separate things no?

Can I not be a catholic democrat/liberal or a Catholic republican/Progressive Conservative?  If we are basing our laws and statutes on religion wouldn’t this mean that all people of one religion would/should follow one political party?

Sorry I digress.

How the heck does it affect my kids or myself if Jim and Carl or Mary and Lisa get married?  It doesn’t!! At least not in a negative way; not in my opinion.  I’m just so happy that our kids have so many options!  Sounds silly maybe, but seriously now.  Some of the most important things in a successful and healthy marriage are (a) Love (b) Trust (c) Friendship (I know there are many more..I’m just sayin).  Who cares if it’s two men or two women or a man and a woman!  WHEN are we EVER going to get over this?

The people who make such a fuss about these things are uneducated.  I mean that’s just how I feel.  I know it’s a pretty strong statement and I apologize if it’s offensive but still.

The only reason that Gay Marriage (or being Gay period) is such a big deal is because the people mentioned above won’t stop talking about it!  Frankly the topic is boring.  WHO CARES?

Is there ever going to be a time when we live and let live?  I have several ‘Gay’ friends and acquaintances, both Male and Female; thing is I don’t usually say I have a ‘gay’ friend because…WHO CARES!  They are my friend!  Who cares what colour they are or what their sexual orientation is or what they like to eat for breakfast every day! Bottom line; they’re my FRIEND.

Sorry… I just get mad.  Some people wonder why a straight boring chick like me feels so passionate about these things… LET ME TELL YOU.. this intolerance that we have today for everything that is DIFFERENT..will ONE DAY…affect my CHILDREN!
