Marriage equality activists cut a rainbow jig when Proposition 8 was overturned but one same sex couple in Texas is blissfully immersed in their legal union. Of course, gay marriage is not sanctioned in the red state but a gray area entitles two Texas women to recognition as husband and wife.
Despite the out of control debate, same sex marriage is gaining steam as a civil rights issue. By the way, do you recall the interracial challenge to Loving v. Virginia where racial restrictions on marriage were struck down not long ago? With adultery and divorce as ample examples, how conveniently the equality in sin is dismissed.
So, if you buy the baloney that same sex marriage will spark a discriminatory fire for heterosexuals, stick it between two white bread slices and whoof it down. When we're stymied by the routine of limited experience, too often our fears of the unfamiliar are based more on fiction than fact.

I did know some instances of gay marriage were legal in Texas.
ReplyDeleteI know this post was enlightening for some since many who are clueless have been quick to write same sex marriage off as a California blaze gone wild.
