I’m not gay, and frankly I could care less about those that are.  In all my years not one of my gay friends has tried to sneak one on me.  In their defense, they’re not too overt about it either.  On the other hand, some of my straight friends would have tried to fuck sheep if they could catch them while drunk.  So what do I care if they find someone with similar interests and they want to get married?  Why should they suffer any less?

Next to the “they’re gonna fuck me” argument from these people seems to be what the bible says.  Do I have to get started on this?  Do these people really think that God wrote the bible?  Wow… a hell of a lot of people are going to be really disappointed in their afterlife and for what?  Because they believe the literal translation of the words “man and woman,” they believe it’s okay to sacrifice the rights of a human being?  News flash, not everyone believes in the bible and they’re all doing okay – why do they all have to listen to your ideals and stupid ass opinions?  I’ve never once see a proposition on the ballet saying that all Christians should be nailed to the stake just because.

The final argument that seens totally over the top to me is the argument about education and how we’re going to have to teach our kids that a prince can marry a prince.  My wife is a teacher and I have two daughters – from the teacher perspective, my wife doesn’t think it will be a big deal.  From the parentaly perspective – who cares – I think it’s good for my daughters to know that some people are gay and that it’s okay.  What I think is more important is that they know I think it’s okay if they want to be gay and that I will treat them and all gays equally.  In my mind, and what I hope to instill in my daughters, is simple: human rights come first.  Period.

So there you have it – my first rant – my opinions on gay rights and my slamming on those against Proposition 8.  Hope you enjoyed it – plenty more to come.
