Surely our world has more things to get its knickers in a knot over than carrying on about why two people who love one another cannot get married if they happen to be gay.
This is 2015 not 1955. I applaud the citizens of Ireland who made the overwhelmingly supported gay marriage in their recent referendum. We in Australia pride ourselves on being easy going and welcoming of all cultures and creeds, yet we as a collective group resist going this final step in allowing gay people to marry legally in this country.
It is quite bizarre, that we have people to quite literally get hot under the collar on the mere mention of the topic, yet fall silent when a group of fanatics burn our flag in our own country and denounce its laws and traditions. Surely, this is more important than two people marrying one another.
These same people who often get offended for other people claim that children in gay relationships suffer. What utter unfounded bullshit. I see more children being mistreated by 'straight' parents than those of gay parents. The real truth is that there are sometimes poor parenting from either parents whether gay or straight.
I have some family members who are gay. I have worked with people who are gay and I have a number of gay friends. They are no different to anyone else and they are just as deserving of being married to their soul mate as I am being married to Clorinda.
Again, small minded people will say it's not Gods way!! Well, if that is what YOU believe then wonderful, but I am sure your God loves everyone and does not pick or choose, does he or she?
That's my view.
