Let me start off by saying sometimes I get stuck in a rut about what I should write about. Well today I'm home sick so I figured there's no better time to write a blog. If you've been watching the news lately you would know that today was decision day for Proposition 8. So after waiting, and waiting the California Supreme Court decided to uphold Prop 8. This means same-sex couples are no longer allowed to get married in the state of California. However, they did agree that they will honor the marriages of the 18,000 couples that did get married before Prop 8 was passed.
Honestly, I was hoping for the destruction of Prop 8. I will say that it is good that they are still honoring the marriages that were done before Prop 8 was passed. I am very much for same-sex marriage. I believe in LOVE. If you're in love it shouldn't matter if it's with a man or woman. Why is it necessary for people to hate against others? Everyone keeps bringing up the bible and how it says marriage is only between a man and a woman, well there are a lot of things the bible says that people no longer follow. Adultery is a sin but millions of people do it anyway. I am, by no means, insulting or showing hate towards the bible at all. I only say this because I believe God put everyone on this earth for a reason, and that he made people they way they are for - a - reason. God wants us to overcome obstacles that we never thought we could surpass, and this is just one of those obstacles. You would also think since it's 2009 we, as a country, would be over something like this. We now have a black president, we also have actors and transgenders as governors and mayors. Also, we've finally accepted interracial marriage and it's time we accept same-sex marriage. I do think it will still take a long time for same-sex couples to get the respect they deserve, especially since we are still overcoming racism. I pray for my gay/lesbian friends that one day everyone can accept same-sex couples as they would anyone else. And for the record, you don't have to be homosexual to show respect to people and to believe in love.
