Gay Rights

[doronjosama]

This is a meme I can get behind. Because to me, gay rights are just human rights, and everyone deserves equality.

"We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on livejournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks."

Sorry, I shouldn't be so fighty. :D My head is spinning from proofreading a bunch of legalese.

It amazes me that humanity has come so far and is still so primitive in some ways. I have yet to hear a "good" argument against gay marriage.

Well, don'tcha know? It'll mean people will start marrying major appliances or dogs or statues or something if gay people can get married! ^_^ That's the argument I always get told, and it always just seems ridiculous and makes the person telling me that seem stupid. ^_^;

The most common argument (excuse?) I’ve heard is from parents, who are seem to be afraid to have to discuss the subject with their kids. If you listen carefully, some parents will even suggest their kids run a risk of ‘picking it up’.

Um,yeah....That doesn’t make a lot of sense to me either.

I’ve no idea how it works. People do a lot of things, and for the most part their sexuality is not on my radar. Whom they love just isn’t any of my business. At most I’m just happy they have found another human to share their lives with.

I will say this: Growing up, I was ‘programmed’ to hate homosexuals. This was pretty standard in far rural Texas. It was something you didn’t dare question. If I can leave that mindset, I suspect others will too.

i have never "gotten" the theory that gays shouldn't be parents because they'll make their kids gay...

the vast majority of the glb folk i know were raised by heterosexuals.

heh...make me think is someone wants doesn't like homosexuals, then perhaps they should direct their venom toward heterosexual parents. After all, aren’t they the ones who keep having babies that grow up to be homosexual?

no, the real reason is that all those closeted gays might actually be forced to confront their orientation.

That arguement's never made sense because dogs and table lamps can't consent!
But if a table lamp COULD talk, and wanted to marry a human, I wouldn't stand in their way!

For the record? I'd totally marry my Nintendo.
