Prop 8 Overturned? Time to Party!

     In case you didn't know... Proposition 8, the ban on previously legal gay marriage in California, has been overturned! Today is another good day in American history, a group of people finally getting the rights they deserve under the constitution.

     I seriously never understood the ban on it in the first place, I mean who were they hurting? No one, no one at all was being hurt by allowing these gay couples to get married. The whole "Sanctity of Marriage" argument was a load of bull, and anyone with half of a brain realizes this.

    I do want to review a few points the anti-gay-marriage team brought up though, as some people may think they are quite decent thoughts.

1. Allowing gay marriage is an untested "Social Experiment."
• No actually, it is not. the following countries all allow gay marriage: Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, South Africa, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Iceland, and Argentina. In the Netherlands, gay marriage has been legal since April 1st, 2001, and the protests against it have almost died down completely. Point here is that it isn't untested, and the countries that allow gay marriage don't dislike their decision.
2. Gay marriage undermines "Traditional Marriage," in kindergartens they now have to teach that marriage is between any two people.
• Ooookay? In the future your kid will learn that people don't always fall in love with someone of the opposite gender, this is honestly just teaching it ahead of what was previously normal. In addition, the previous definition of marriage (A legal binding between man and woman) was totally unfair for kids adopted by LGBT families. I mean really, is it fair to teach these kids that there parents are not technically married because they are both the same gender? Or that the love between there parents is wrong, or less good than the love between a heterosexual couple? A lot to think about there...
3. Allowing gay marriage forces people to not just be tolerant of gay lifestyles, but face mandatory compliance regardless of their personal beliefs. 
• We do the same with religion don't we? You might not agree with religions, but you have to be tolerant of them, and you have to accept the fact that they are there and nothing you can do will change that.
4. Allowing gay marriage will open up the doors to bestiality and children marriages. 
• You are totally correct, marriage between two consenting adults is going to open the door to one consenting adult with a horse; and to one consenting adult with a minor. *Sarcasm*

      Consider this an open note to the United States and all of it's citizens, gay marriage in no way is wrong nor does it infringe upon anyone's rights. The only rights being infringed upon are the rights of couples who want to marry, but are not allowed. Homosexual couples leave heterosexual couples alone (for the most part), and the opposite should be true as well.


     Think about it, and then get back to me,
