Society is a Sham and People Have the Right to Marry Whomever they Please


The recent debate over gay marriage in Maine really aggravates the begeezus outta me. Who am I to say who can't marry the person they love?

I am not gay or a lesbian, but I honestly believe that in this world we need more love. Why take that away?

The opponents say: Stand up for marriage. Marriage is the cornerstone of society.

I hate to tell them this--but marriage is a farce. The government killed it one hundred and fifty years ago in order to weaken society. To weaken families they promoted porn, delayed choosing of mates, and created easy divorce laws. Society does not exist today. Today we have networks. Most people don't even know how to have a conversation--let alone interact with someone outside their network.

The church seems to think they have a monopoly on marriage.  People quote the dictionary for the definition of marriage.  I don't care what the dictionary has to say.  I prefer to think of marriage as "mating-for-life"--like some animals do.  Do eagles, swans, penguins (and whatever other animals follow the habit) need to stand inside a church to have their union recognized?  No, the piece of paper is irrelevant to them.  They know they've devoted themselves to each other, just by the fact that they're still there with each other, supporting one another through life.

I think the piece of paper does not matter so much; its the relationship that matters.  However in this world, in order for families to receive much-needed resources, benefits, health-care, etc--that piece of paper is needed.  We should not deprive good people of something so irrelevent at a marriage certificate.

America was created equal for all. Not for some. Stop the hatred. Vote No on Question 1.
