Same sex bullshit

There was just a recent article published in the May 24 - 05 National Post about all these "religious" folks that rallied together against same-sex marriage. What on this earth is their selfish problem?

One of these religious leaders at the rally says 'We will not accept this crap'(funny, that's what I say about religion). I know that most of the monotheistic religions are exclusive, narrow minded clubs, but to call the idea of two people marrying 'crap' is just plain nasty. Who said they have to "accept" it anyway?

Another person at the rally says "Gay and lesbian couples just do not have the capacity to physically reproduce," said Pearce Lacey, the retired Catholic Toronto bishop. "Marriage serves the needs of society by producing new citizens and educating them." The last time I checked lesbians are still capable of having children and with all the homeless & starving orphans in the world, I don't think that two men not being able to give birth is an issue.

The article goes on to say "There is no such thing as a right to same-sex marriage," this is said Maurice Vellacott, the Tory MP for Saskatoon-Wanukewin. I disagree. The right that religious people are given is the same right that people (regardless of gender and other labels and stereotypes) have to get married.

This part is what really gets my goat "In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve," read another placard. Hundreds waved "Defend Marriage" signs printed by the Knights of Columbus. First of all, who's beginning? What God are we referring to? Am I to assume that this god that the Knights of Columbus are talking about created a man & a woman? What kind of poppycock is that? This type of belief defies logic. And what the hell does being created have anything to do with marriage? But these people have the "right" to their religious beliefs - and I understand that.

The opponents of same sex marriage need to realize that the world does not exist for them. This world is here for all of us. I think that most of us want to live a happy life, but I'm not sure we can do that when we've got a group of people telling us how we as individuals should live. Besides, if you religious folk think that same-sex marriage is such a big deal, complain to your god - let him deal with these people at the time of judgment (gag).
