The non-existing issue

So my final essay for the class, was a topic that I have been wanting to write about for quite sometime. I am all for gay marriage and almost cried when I heard that some states have passed it. It feels good to be in a somewhat progressive world, even if it has taken decades and longer. 

This issue is very personal to me on very many levels. I have numerous homosexual friends and couples, along with being a homosexual myself. I am a human, I am easily to get along with and I have a double helix like everyone else in the world. 

The fact that I am a homosexual is not a flaw or a defect it's just added information to who I am. 

That's like someone with tattoos all over, could be the executive of a large corporation for lawyers, and may have a family of two. The opinion of the person that you have known has not changed at all, you just now know more about them. 

And I think that with that being said, gay marriage should really be something that should be legal. 

To me marriage is the ultimate expression of love.

I have heard so many lame things against having gay marriage. “It'll disrupt the structure of marriage,” “it's not okay in God's eyes,” please, save the overused crap for my funeral. 

There are a heck of a lot more people in the world that have messed up what marriage is who are heterosexual. People who cheat on other people, people who have sex with prostitutes, people who marry multiple people. 

Yeah, exactly so all your lame accusations hold no ground now anymore. 

If anything gay marriage is more respectable in some ways. I know of one couple that have been together for almost 20 years, totally faithful, best friends and the cutest couple I have ever seen, and they aren't married, not because they can't (although the subject still stands) but they are a great example of what a relationship is. 

Whereas another couple I know, heterosexual mind you, that was together for almost 10 years and one had cheated on the other at least three times. 

Yeah, put that in your vacuum cleaner and suck it. 

I mean for goodness sake people, even our president wants it. Granted he was against until he need more votes from people and our population of fabulous fairies were his life line, but still. 

The main foundation of the United States is the concept that the majority should rule, however, the rights of minorities should also be protected. This is the reason why the Bill of Rights was established along with equal protection and anti-slavery amendments. 

As such, denying marriage to a gay couple is the same as denying marriage to a bi-racial couple. 

And considering I'm both, do not even tamper with such things. It could get ugly, just a warning. 

As earlier mentioned, marriage is the ‘ultimate expression of love.’ The only reason why gay couples get married is because they love one another. If love is not the foundation of marriage, then all marriages; gay or not, should be criticized and examined. 

Each couple planning to get married should undergo a test to prove that they really love each other. I mean gay couples have been called animals before, why not strap the other side down and treat them like the animals they think we are. 

I bet that would shut them up real quick, especially if there was infidelity on one side. 

Basically I just wanted to touch on the fact that there really is nothing wrong with it. It's a relationship, it has all the same elements of any other kind of relationship. We have fights, we have sex, we go on dates, we have a family. 

It's not like gay people just fall from the sky in a rainbow parachute, but if it did the only reason you should be hating on us, is the fact that you should be jealous of such an entrance into the world.
