Greetings all,
I was watching Dr Phil today and they were having a show about gay marriage and they had both sides of the debate on the show, that is, those who support gay marriage and those who do not.
I live in Canada so we are allowed gay marriage. Apparently in California they took back this right and there is much conflict and rallies going on about this issue.
I frankly don't understand why there is such anger. Okay I do get it but it seems stupid.
I understand where these anti gay marriage people are coming from. They see homosexuality as a sin, which is their right - but not everyone shares the same belief that homosexuality is a sin. I'm sure science will figure out things about homosexuality. I've read that the brains of gay men are similar to women. I'm sure there is some reason why homosexuality exists but I don't think it's sinful. I don't think it's 'normal' as well in the sense that it is not normal in the biological sense for the species to continue.
I think people don't have to agree with or support or even like homosexuals but they are humans too. I have met some nice homosexuals and some that are just fucking jerks and stupid but I'm not going to judge them for their sexual relations.
These anti gay marriage people can argue all they want about how gays choose to be gay. I agree with this to some degree because there are people who do experiment but if they are being true to themselves, they will either be gay, straight or bi. I don't think they realize that we don't choose to be straight, it's in our biology to be straight and it's probably the same for homosexuals.
I dated a guy back in October/September and we were watching a movie on Newton's Dark Secrets where it discussed how Newton didn't have sex because he was more interested in studying and learning. This led to the topic of homosexuality since my date thought it was weird for someone to not have sex but I felt I could understand because I'm very intelligent and I have had my moments where all I could think about was what I was learning or thinking about and sex was the last thing on my mind (I know shocking but true!) and I'm sure Newton was the same way, although more intense.
He thought that homosexuality was on the increase and that everyone else in the world hates them. He thought homosexuality was disgusting. I was shocked and probably after 30 minutes I left because I couldn't respect a man who thought like that.
People do have the right to think that homosexuality is 'weird' and to not approve of it but why should anyone care what others do in their bedroom?
Homosexuality only seems on the rise because we are now living in a world that is starting to accept that they are people too. Homosexuals will always be a minority and they will never 'take over the world' and be the majority, eliminating the straight people.
I think as well that churches have the right to decide if they want to allow gay marriages but I think the state (the government) should allow gay marriages if the majority of people support it.
I don't understand why these 2 sides just accept their differences and stop the drama!
