Fuzzy Thoughts

This past Tuesday was Election Day in the US, and the people voted on several issues that effect their individual states. In eight states, the voters got to decide whether or not their state should ban gay marriage. In all but one, the voters said that they did want in banned. CNN reports the eighth state as still processing votes, so it too may ban gay marriage. I think that the voters in these states have made a mistake that eventually will be corrected, it just may take some time.

Now, for those of you that believe that marriage is an institution that will be weakened when a gay couple is married, do you also believe that it is weakened when a married couple is divorced? The divorce rate in America is at an all time high. I would like to argue that when a married couple gets divorced, they are weakening what marriage means. If two people are in love with each other, who are we to say that they should not be able to become married?

“Oh, but its just wrong.” you might try to argue. Well, so was interracial marriage until a few decades ago, but most people are fine with it now. Maybe all the American people need to get used to the idea of gay marriage is time.
