Why People Are Homosexuals

Some people do not think that homosexuality is a choice, they think it is just something they are born with.  One common train of thought is to compare human homosexuality with the fact that sometimes, homosexuality is seen in the animal world.  That is true.  At times, there is evidence of other mammals being attracted to their own gender.

I’m tired of hearing how “normal” it is to be homosexual.  Just because other animals do it means it’s OK for humans?  Really?  It’s also common for animals to eat each other’s poop.  And lick random other animals on the genitals.  And use their tongue to wipe their ass and other animal’s asses.

On another argument, maybe nature really does intend on having homosexuality being normal.  No, really.  Survival of the fittest and all that, right?  Homosexual animals will most likely not mate with animals of the opposite gender.  Hence, that animal will not pass on it’s genes.  Maybe it’s nature’s way of removing some numbers from the population.  Thinning the herd.  Removing the weak and diseased.  making sure bad genes are not passed on to future generations.

Maybe this will stop that argument.  I mean, who really wants to compare themselves to a poop-eating, a-hole licking dog?  Or to the weakest of the species?  Or to say that they are happy nature chose them as the excess fluff that should be removed for the good of the planet?

California Bans Gay Marriage

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a win for common decency, California has seen fit to put a stop to gay marriage.  Naturally, many people are upset, but I don’t know of any heterosexual people that are strongly in favor of letting homosexuals get married.  Many that vote or speak out in favor of it are just doing it so they appear to have “an open mind” or some such crap.

I do understand that gay people want to have something that equals what “marriage” is to straight people.  Although I morally object to gay marriage, I am reluctantly willing concede that some type of ‘legal union’ would probably come in handy.  However, I do object to calling it a ‘marriage.’

Sorry, got off on a side note.  Just wanted to relay to the world that I’m happy that yet another state is banning gay marriage.  I hope everyone else can follow suit.  It’s about damn time the country of California passed a decent law…

11/06 – Interesting update.  Fox News has an interview with one of the supporters of Yes on Prop 8.

Meg Waters, part of the Yes on 8 campaign team, told City News Service, “gay and lesbian couples have exactly the same protections under the law with civil unions.”

“Marriage has been defined as a man and woman since time began,” Waters said. “The people of California have voted twice, so I think the best thing to do is for everybody involved to figure out a way to move forward.”

Waters said she understands “how gays and lesbians may feel concerned about this.”

“If they stop and look at the situation, they have the exact same legal protections and rights under the law today they had yesterday,” Waters said.

“You can’t change the definition of something that existed forever because you don’t like it.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.  So if these couples have the same legal protections with a civil union, why is there such a big push for changing the definition of marriage?  Is it because they don’t like the terminology?  The name?  They already got what they wanted – a legal protection of their togetherness.

Support Gay Marriage

According to dictionary.com , the word “marriage” usually refers to the legal union of two people – most of the definitions are gender-neutral. Even google’s definitions focus on just ‘people’ and the minority on gender -specific terms or inanimate objects. About as long as the word “marry” has been around, it has been used to describe the joining of two items. It’s usually in reference to people, but it doesn’t have to be – it’s just describing the state of two things that have come together. Historically, marriage has been understood as containing a man and a woman. Most contries in the world recognize this ‘man plus woman’ state, and religious groups worldwide have also historically required this union to be made of a man and a woman.

However, recently in our wonderful age of enlightenment, people have come to realize that the rules must have been wrong for centuries, and same-sex marriages should not only be allowed, they should be encouraged. They should be not just given a passing glance, but be specifically written into the lawbooks, have company policies at work changed, hospital rules updated. Basically, all manner of rules and regulations that have any type of reference to marriage, based on the old ignorant standards, should be updated to reflect the more open ways. We have just been too closed-minded, and now is a good opportunity to make those changes.

I think we should support gay marriages, as well as some other related changes. Why limit ourselves to just changing what genders are allowed to wed each other? Why limit ourselves to just 2 participants? Hell, if I’m a Vegan because I love animals, why should I have to prejudice myself against Lassie? People that want to see gay marriages allowed say they want it because the people love each other and they want to spend their lives together. That’s fine. If I really love some of my cousins and want to spend the rest of my life with them, why can’t I legally marry them? How come I have to limit myself to just one person – why can’t I have 3 or 4 wives and 3 or 4 husbands? There are some people who can’t ever seem to keep their mates, but they are really attached to their goats and sheep – why can’t there be a legal marriage there too?

Please tell me why it’s OK to allow gay marriages (legally), but multiple marriages or animal unions are not allowed. I don’t get it. That’s not fair! It’s not OK to prevent two men or two women from marrying each other, but it is OK to not allow me to have 3 wives and 3 husbands? Why not? That’s not any more extreme than gay marriage is it?

You tell me if I’m off-base here…
