So basically, they want to let people use anti-gay slurs, and take away their rights? They're complaining about their rights being taken away, because a few guys want to marry their boyfriends? They act as if by being taught tolerance, their children are going to run off and start having sex, because of education? As if being homosexual in and of itself is going to cause one to contract AIDS and die at 25 years old?
This pisses me off more than few things in the world. There's no logic. They refuse to allow gay couples to marry because it is an attack on the "institution of marriage" and then get divorced when their own marriage gets a little tough. They cheat on their spouses and cheapen their marriage vows, but God forbid two people in love are allowed to marry if they happen to be the same gender.
These same people who spout off about pro-life, who insist that all children be born, refuse to allow gay couples the right to adopt. Where do they expect the children born to teenage mothers to go? Into already overcrowded foster systems and let on their own for most of their lives? There's a woman who comes into my shop who then takes the stance that women who adopt are selfish, and are preventing their own children from being born. She also claims that single moms are selfish, for putting themselves above their children and refusing to get married so that the child has two parents.
The sad thing is this woman is in her mid-40s. It isn't like she's one of the crazy senior citizens. We're used to that from them, growing up in a different era and all that. But no, this is an educated woman, a professor, who spouts this bull off to her students. It's just depressing to see.
Focus on your life, and let everyone else live their own.
