Well, I have been asked by alot of people why I havent said much on the Prop 8 situation in California or the ban on gay adoption in Florida...I have held back on saying much about this because I wanted to make sure I had all of my thoughts straight (no-pun intended) before I said them. I do now, so here you go...
Who do you think you are? When I say you, I mean our piss-poor, self indulge, god-wannabes' government. What gives you the right to say who can and cannot love? Who can and cannot marry? Who can and cannot have children?
I guess you dont seem to understand things very much. You see, when you are asked why you are voting to ban gay marriage, why you are voting to not allow gays to adopt children, or why you are voting against to let gays have the same rights as everyone else; you simply answer, its the way of the bible. I think not! GET SERIOUS HERE!
Like a good friend of mine said, if we were governing our country by the way of the bible, then those who commit adultry would be in jail; If you did not honor thy father or mother, you would be shunned; I think you get my point. The fact is do not pull the Christian excuse because it is getting very old.
I am a christian man who happens to be gay and I am proud of myself. I work very hard in this world. I do everything right. I work with children. Give back to my community. Love with all my heart. But, according to all of you, the simple fact that I am gay is reason enough for you to take away some of my rights. God taught us to love and care unconditionally and help those we can. I have never turned my back on anyone, but I can truthfully say that if I came to one of you in our horrid government, I would be turned away because I love a man. And for those of you who seem to think that God will not let me into heaven for the simple fact that I am gay, well you can join my grandmother in the group of people who are just moronic and need to wake up!
Who are you to tell me that I am not allowed to commit to the man that I love? Its funny because we let straight people marry and the rate of divorce in this country is higher than it has ever been and those commiting adultry are much higher than ever; yet, I am not even given that chance because I sleep with someone of the same sex. The truth is, who do you think you are fooling? Even though you say we cant legally be married, We are still together out there. And you say we cant have those same benefits that "normal families" (as you call it) have, well there are now companies who are finding loop holes for us to have them. So in a way, we are getting closer, inch by inch, day by day...you are slowly losing control of this issue. Now I am not saying that to be mean; I am saying this because people all over this country are seeing that we just want to love like everyone else; unrestricted love. They see that we are not a threat, we are not contagious. We are people of the same colors, of the same backgrounds, of the same families and communities....who just want to be equal.
Who are you to tell me that I am not allowed to adopt a child? There is alot I could say here, but the best way I can sum it up is this....ALL OF YOU ARE DUMB AND IGNORANT! Yes, please...go out there and take away a great child who needs a great home from a gay couple who wants to love and provide a stable healthy life for this child and give that same child to a drunken drug addict, who could be a prositute, infected with everything known to man...and your only reason that they would be a better home for this child is one fact....she is straight and they are gay. Wow....some logic there...You must have graduated from Bush University. I am a basketball coach and for the past seven years, have treated everyone of my players as I would treat my child...with love and respect. I have NEVER had a bad thing said about me when it came to those children. And before you even think it, yes..they knew I was gay. And I have seen coaches who treat their players like crap and just need guidance...but they curse and scream and raise anger towards these children, yet they are allowed to have kids and I am not....Strange, huh?
So thats why I ask Who Do You Think You Are? What gives you the right to treat me less? What gives you the right to say I cannot love my partner? What gives you the right to say I cannot marry this man? What gives you the right to say I cannot have a child? Please answer me this without using the overused freakin' phrase "in the bible it says....." or "in the bible, God says..." because its a crock and you know it! Maybe you should think about this...Have you ever thought by the way you treat people because they are gay and how you judge them in a way that God has said not to that he, God, is ashamed of you? Hmmmm....irony there....now think about that before you come telling me how to live my life....But then again, how would you feel if I came into your home and told you YOU cant marry that woman and YOU cannot have those kids because YOU are straight and THATS not allowed according to the bible!
Drop this issue and grow up and for once....BE HUMAN!
