i do not recall this lecture!?!

So all this prop 8 battling going on via myspace, facebook, youtube, whatever should probably start to fade out considering whats done is done.


We are all aware of who was for and against gay marriage. and it was pretty damn close if you ask me, so i wouldn't go off rallying that "california has spoken" considering there was no overwhelming landslide.


I personally voted no on prop 8 for the mere fact that sanctity in marriage doesn't even exist in the first place. Please don't try to argue with me that it does because I'll most likely disagree and nothing will be solved.


What's my argument you ask?

- a projected 40-50% of american marriages will end in divorce

- 11% of the adult population is currently divorced.


- 25% of adults have had at least one divorce during their lifetime.


- Divorce rates among conservative Christians were significantly higher than for other faith groups, and much higher than Atheists and Agnostics experience.


(aren't these the "conservative Christians" that continuously preach to me and everyone about the "sanctity" in marriage that will be tainted if a man has the right to marry a man? ironic?)

although most dictionaries will define marriage as the legal union between a a man and a woman who establish their decision to live as husband and wife, the way I see it, it's a social institution that is very flawed to say the least.


the truer definition behind marriage, in my eyes, is two people sharing love for each other and signifying that commitment through ceremony.
someone please tell me how gay marriage depletes the sanctity in that??

i'm sure i'll receive a whole crap load of bible mumbo jumbo to this because homosexuality isn't accepted by god and what the fuck ever. so thats your argument. that the sanctity in marriage is that it is a religious ceremony recognized by god, right?? you mean the only person that can judge other people ("only god can judge me") well unless one of these easter's holds true and he comes back to earth and tells me otherwise i'm here to believe that no one here can judge anyone else and "god's" not really here to tell you otherwise.


marriage is a damn piece of paper recognized by the state. isnt there a separation between church and state. so if your argument is religion based you can sit on it cuz there's my rebuttal.


the biggest issue i have here is everyone, so clearly, voted for "change" but is so goddamn afraid of it. the hypocrisy is ridiculous really. don't celebrate obama's victory to me and then be afraid to accept something new, something different, something that will probably only bring good to this social institution we like to call marriage anyway.


whew. theres my venting for you. like I said. take it for what it is.


and for the record, im not judging my friends or family that feel differently on the subject than me. I dont really choose the people I love purely on their social and political beliefs.
my thoughts on it are to leave it alone, or you might lose some friends in the process,

and like I said. whats done is done. and to all my gay friends, I'll fly to massachusettes to witness something much more pure than the "sanctity" in marriage.


it's love baby. its all about love.
why can't we just leave it at that?

oh and one more thing.


when you were a kid, when the fuck did they teach you about marriage?? i do not recall this lecture!

church and state. keep that line of separation folks.


until we speak again

i'm still lyndzzz
