gay marriage
Feb. 18th, 2004 10:47 pmQuick, because I am going to bed.
I do not understand. I will never understand. How can anyone, no matter what the religion, no matter what the belief, deny 2 people from loving one another? How can these people be expected to live their lives afraid, to live their lives in fear or in hiding, or even in defiance? WHY should it be considered defiance if 2 same-sex people love one another publicly?
How can anyone look at the happy faces of those couples in San Francisco as they pledge their undying and eternal love for each other and not say "These people love the way that I love"? They bring tears to my eyes. They make me dizzy with joy. Love is so beautiful. How can anyone think of cutting it down instead of building it up.
For those that believe in a God that created us all, believe in a God that loves us all, do you honestly believe God loves even one of us less than any other? Do you honestly think that God wastes a single second, in this world of terror and crime and murder and stupid shit like tax evasion, thinking of reasons NOT TO LOVE HIS PEOPLE? We're all in this together, and we all deserve equal treatment. If I can hold my boyfriend's hand in public, if I can smile giddily at the thought of marrying him someday, EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD BE SO LUCKY.
WE SHOULD ALL BE SO LUCKY TO FIND ANOTHER TO LOVE. Gender doesn't mean a damn thing. I can't believe what a waste of time it is to persecute people for LOVING EACH OTHER.
I am not saying any of this right. I am just so angry and so frustrated, and I want so much for this not to be an issue anymore. Can you imagine a president of this country who sends troops out to fight in a war, and sits around at home thinking up ways to hurt people who are doing nothing wrong.
I thank God every day that I can look at people this way. That I can look at them in love and feel nothing but happy that they have found each other. Happy, but sad too because theirs is the definition of forbidden love. I am just watching and waiting until the day their love is no longer forbidden.
