This is for God and the Gays...

I've been thinking about what love is and how people experience love, and there is something that I think I need to put out there: I love the gay community and I have the utmost respect for them, and why shouldn't I? Here's the thing, I know what it's liked to be judged and be judgy. I'm not going to lie that I judge people on a pretty consistent basis, however I also recognize the truly exquisite qualities that people posses. I've personally struggled with how I feel about gay marriage though, I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm a fiscal conservative and Irish Catholic (means I hate government spending, I love that we have civil rights in this country regardless of if it's moral or not, and I grew up in a moral semi-shell.) I read about a football player today who has come to talk about why we should legalize gay marriage in America, amen. There is no reason that in this day and age that we shouldn't support the union of two happy and consenting adults who are madly and deeply in love. If I wanted to I could fly to Vegas get married and 12 hours later have it annulled, marriage means nothing if it's not based in purity, respect and love. So if this is the basis, we need to not limit who can love, or how their love is defined. Think about if someone told you you couldn't marry the love of your life, how would you feel. It's a Romeo and Juliet situation, but this time the names have changed and government is trying to be the parents. As adults we have the right to make decisions based upon our belief. If you believe gay marriage is wrong please consider why you think it's wrong, even the bible says that above all their is love, and that all people are equal. So shouldn't all people be treated equal with equal rights?
