Marriage in America (spun from gay rights)
So, today I got a call from an Aussie friend of mine. He called to ask me about the Gay Rights march that happened this past weekend here in Washington DC (he is gay). I couldn’t answer any of his questions because I’m not gay so I didn’t attend. But we went on to discuss gay marriage and he said some very good stuff. He said “who gives a shit about gay marriage?” Mind you, homie is gay himself. His points in the conversation were quite real. He said what does a ceremony with a piece of paper honored by people you don’t even know and made official by 2 pieces of metal (rings) have to do with loving your partner with all that you are. And he is abso-fucking-lutely correct. Marriage is a word, nothing more nothing less. You don’t love a person more when you marry a person. Marriage is a ceremony, a big giant expensive display of affection. Now I know a lot of people will stand on the religious aspect of marriage. Well that’s fine and dandy comma but nowhere in the bible did it say you both have to sign a piece of paper that is to be recognized by the government and partially go broke on an elaborate ceremony which forces people to give you things and take time out of their own lives. And maybe its the commercialism of marriage that is effing up relationships and marriages today. There are thousands of books on marriage from people claiming to be experts. Countless songs. Beyonce’s “Put a ring on it” song will be the reason many chicks won’t get married. They think they “deserve” a ring.. Contrary to belief you do not. And if you base how much a man feels for you off the fact he will or will not marry you, you are dumb.. No sass but you are. Find a person who loves you for you. Who see’s your imperfections perfectly. Confess your love for one another. If you truly love someone you will not cheat or lie or harm them. Don’t need to say vowels for that. And if you are the religious all you have to do is seal yourself in marriage in front of god, not people you know and there guests. Marriage is a word, love is a feeling, an emotion, an action. And at the end of the day all a couple needs is love.

The only thing that gays want when it comes to gay rights is the fact that they should have the same legal rights as someone who is straight. For example If Ted and John get together, Buy a home together, Adopt a child, and what not. Something happens to John, and Johns mother decides she is going to take over his estate Ted has no rights over everything that they built. The child could be given up to the state or tom some other family member. Now if they were married, the child would still be cared for with Ted, he would be incharge of the estate and have legal rights over the things that a married couple would have.
The gays that I know could care less about the actual act of being married, all they want is equal rights regarding legal issues just in case a spouse passes, or they seperate. Imagine not being able to put your wife on your insurance as a spouse, or in your will, or as your beneficary.
