Marriage should be a union of two people who love each other
jewel August 7th, 2010
It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged, but I could not pass this up – although it has taken me a little longer to get to it than I would have liked. Rightfully, Judge Vaughn Walker, a federal judge in San Francisco, struck down Proposition 8 for being unconstitutional and I applaud him for doing so. Seriously, I did my happy dance. The law was unconstitutional and it never should have been on the ballot to begin with. I hope to see marriage available to all consenting adults nationwide in the near future.
Same-sex marriage will not threaten anyone’s marriage. It will not threaten families. What it will do is allow people – regardless of gender – to build families; to have all the rights and privileges that being married allows (medical rights, estate rights, etc) — to have the same rights as the rest of us have. Someone please explain to me how that threatens my marriage to my husband.
What I see every time a state comes to its senses and makes marriage available to all consenting adults is an outpouring of love and happiness from those that can can now celebrate their unions. It’s beautiful. And it’s worth celebrating.

I agree. And if your religious beliefs are against same-sex marriages, then don’t marry someone of the same sex. Also don’t try to dictate what other folks, with different beliefs, can do.
It’s amazing how intolerant people can be, even with things that have no effect on their lives.

Yeah, no kidding. I just don’t get it.
