As numbers of gay couples that stood on the steps of the California State Supreme Court cheering the recent ruling to allow same-sex marriage, here is what went through my mind:
“The same group that has spent years telling the government to stay out of their bedrooms are now applauding the fact that government is publicly recognizing (by issuing a license) what they do in their bedrooms.”
The older I get, the less inclined I feel like repeating myself on certain issues. I have been writing on this site now for close to 4 years and the same-sex issue is one I have talked about and debated numbers of times. In short, personally, I do not agree with the concept. As a legal right? When you take a sexual preference and hold it up for public opinion, not only would I vote against it in the form of a ballot proposition (just like the majority of Californians did for Prop. 22 only to have the will of the people overturned by the state supreme court), I would not support any candidate that did. The ballot box is where I do my protesting on this matter. The same would apply to my feelings over abortion. As much as I am against abortion, you will not find me employing any tactics (or supporting those that do) to hinder someone from getting an abortion. Beyond that, what a person does in the privacy of their own home (same sex or unmarried male of female) is not something I use to screen in or out folks in my daily interactions with them. I do not get that personal.
