or should be. But they are not. No, according to the neo-cons and some conservatives Gay people should not marry. But why? That would be the question. Why is this fear of a marriage between two people who are in love. That divorce will be just as high as among "gays" as it is among hetero population.
Still is that a good enough reason? Are we as a nation saying that a segment of our population should not marry because they might divorce? Or is it we might have to retool our divorce laws? Something by the way is always an on going project. So what would a divorce law look like under these conditions. I guess a more gender neutral language would be called for. Assuredly not that big of a deal. Certainly not one that should could keep a segment of our population that does contribute to the American society as a whole from excerising a right.
So what changes that could be so bad that would make people who are on the whole want to deny a segment of our society their rights? I have yet to hear a rational reason. Aside from a religious convictions, there really doesn't seem to be any.
If religious convictions is all there is standing between two people who happen to be of the same gender from marrying. Let me say this; that the day will come when two people of the same gender will marry, it will be celebrated and seen as no deferent than any other marriage.
The religious conviction argument has never won any political argument in this country. That argument was offered as a reason to deny woman and the afro-american the Vote. As well as keeping both from full participating in this society.
So I ask any who would dare. Answer me this. Aside from a religious conviction. What reason is there that would keep to people of the same gender from marrying?
