Gay Marriage Meme, Modified

[sabrinamari]

It doesn't matter whether I am in a heterosexual marriage or not: I wholehearted believe that legalizing gay marriage hurts no one and nothing...EXCEPT perhaps institutionalized bigotry. Every time healthy love and lifetime commitment are sanctioned through law and ritual, a little more joy fills the planet. It doesn't matter who takes the vows or how they are structured, as long as they are affirmed in open-hearted honesty, thoughtful agreement and committed love.

So mote it be.

Couldn't have said it better myself! There is a bumper sticker I've seen several times that says kinda the same thing:

*heart* + *heart* = Marriage

>:D

A lot of anti-gay marriage sentiment is the same stuff that was used against interracial marriage. Those biases failed then and hopefully will fail now.

The most common arguments I have heard for anti-gay marriage fall into the "God told me to hate you" category. And since in theory we have a separation of Church and State, those arguments should not have legal influence.

And if that is true then there is a very important American legal principle that should be in effect here, one that should allow people to marry who they choose, one so important that it isn't even part of the Constitution, but in the Declaration of Independence.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. "

My you all be able to pursue you happiness
