Last night I went to bed after watching a show about current issues in court and government.

Why can’t they just get it straight that allowing gay marriages doesn’t force the priests and clergy to acknowledge or perform these ceremonies. It does force insurance companies, and other important factors such as IRS and adoption and other offices to recognise the relationship as permenant intent with the goal of stability and possibly family.

One of the religious opposition complained that the next thing would be allowing 3 person marriages…why not? Marriage is a commitment for a life long goal, and I don’t see where sex was ever mentioned in that. They were complaining that same sex marriages change the meaning of marriage…I was raised a little different, I took marriage to mean 2 people comming together as one, I never thought about the sex of the people.

The real problem is that if gay marriages were publically recognized, then religious bigots would have to acknowledge that gay people aren’t all promiscuous. They would have to identify them as living a normal life, and not some crazy life of instability and sexual indiscretion. Straight people can be just as reckless.
