You Need an Enemy

Imagine that you lived in a time of arranged marriages.  You were attracted to tall blonde women and your parents told you that you must marry a short plump girl. How would you react?  Would you allow them to tell you that?

That plump girl is all right but you have no sexual chemistry.   Think about how you would react.  This is what religious conservatives are doing to gay people.  I know they think it is a sin, but are they really expected people to stop being gay. To suddenly be sexually attractive to the opposite sex? 

They just want something to be angry about.  Gay marriage does not affect them.  Gay people are more than happy to not get married in your church. 

Some people simply need an enemy.

There will be a new regime in religion.  Just as the jewish faith had corruption and people go away fromt he values and jesus came in to renew people and advance people to a better way, there will be a new religion.  There were the moneychangers and the priests that kept people in line and they stayed above common people, there will be a CHANGE. ThePEOPle that use bible to judge and condemn and allow themselves to make new wealth at the expense of the poor will be turned out and a finger will be pointed at them.. perha

We are better Now

There are some that think gay marriage is devastated or at least as one family members facebook page- a slippery slope where there will not be any morality now.  This is the same kind of thinking that took place when black people were suddenly allowed the rights given to them by the constitution   it is the same thinking by people against interracial marriage,

In both cases, things only got better and people are still allowed to hold their backwater beliefs.  It did not harm marriage or our society.  Does anyone think religious people have no power today? 

It is true true that homosexuality is more accepted today, but is there anyone that thinks gay people are going away.

America is stronger than ever. It is more moral than ever.  We have a lot of terrible behaviors in our past.  Does anyone think slavery was okay?  Putting Japanese people in prison. Camps.  People were lynched.  Men allowed to beat their wives. Children force to work. We stole land from native Americans and decimated the population.  To be well-rounded I am thinking of more injustice. However, most of it has been done to black people.  Wow!  Forced to have separate schools that were not exqual. Forced to live in fear and not allowed to get education or good jobs or marry a white person.  Of course many gay people have been attacked and killed. Forced to live lies.
