Why should Gay Marriages be so much trouble for hetro-sexual?
They say that to be imitated is the best form of flattery. Then why is it the hetro-sexual world is so adamant about not allowing Gays and Lesbians the same right to marital bliss or discord as the rest of us. Is it jealousy, or hatred. Is it moral or immorality that plays on peoples minds.
Such an uproar over a minority segment of the population getting the right to marry, takes me back to my youth when civil rights marchers where being hung and burned in Mississippi. Buses where segregated and so where the lunch counters, mostly notably in the South but not so evident here in the North. Here we hid our disdain for certain peoples of dark colour, not all just certain peoples.
As a youth of 12, I would go off on a Saturday morning and play with friends, wiffel baseball, war and hide-n-seek. We all being white church going Christians, never thought once about racial problems and certainly not about `homosexuals' Homo was that funny sounding science name for early man, you remember Homos-erectas. Well being young boys of 12, you all can guess the funny pun.
It was not until I reached 13, that I came into contact with a `homo'. To a great surprise it was someone I had grown up with, another in our group of neighborhood hellion's as my dad would call us. Had revealed his like for the male anatomy, mine, while during a backyard sleep out that summer. I reacted as any one would, I beat him silly. That was wrong, I soon realized and know it ever more so today.
I naturally told my dad about him and my dad said something profainly strange that day. Go apologise to him and just tell him your not that way. Hugh? What way. Wait a minute he did this to me and I have to apologise? Something in my dad had flipped I thought, but being a good son. I appologised to my friend and we talked for a long time about what happened.
I realized just how much currage it took him to approach me, and why. He thought I could protect him from getting hurt by the others if they knew and he liked me alot. As a youth I was the kid most likely to be imprisoned by 9. If you where bigger or older than me. We were fated to cross pathes and have at it. Why I did not understand then, but do today. I am tall, fair haired and German. Worked for my dad at his company, the neighbors and on my Uncles farm. I was rugged and quick, both in temper and with the hands.
Today I have nearly as many gay friends as I do heteral-sexuals, and I preach the Lords word to others, that they who sin should be brought to hear his words and save their souls. I do not condoan their choice but neither do I condemn them. It is their life style not mine nor is it a threat to my childrens. But maybe to my grandchildren, there is a threat from allowing this promiscuity to persist as a non controlled status.
With marrage comes responsablity and commitments to morality. And with that said, a civil marriage is no different from a church, yet so many heterosexuals marriages and participants stray from the moral richeousness that is asked of them. We have adultry, incest and poligamy within these so called normal marriages that it makes ones head hurt. But there is also the ever rapid rise of pedophilia by both men and women. Against youngsters of both sex and by those of same sex. Why? Is it just Gays and Lesbians, or our society?
I think the later is more to blame than the afore mentioned. Because their confussion comes from us, yes us, in how we treat people and dress them. How we percieve them, and controll them, bully them and malign them. we continue to foster there need for an idenity.
Society loves to blame everthing else for its misery, it is like the DUI driver that kills three innocents, not his fault he only had a beer and it is his right to drink. Or the wife beater that breaks his spouses face, because she made him do it and the best one I like, we just sell it we don't make them wear it. How dumb is that. We see it on the TV, in adds on the highwat billboards. In magazines they dress 6 year olds like their in college and put lipstick on them. Junior junior Miss What ever and we think knothing of its sexual innuendos.
What do you really think?
