It has been legal for gay people to marry each other now for
close to a year in my state.
I’ve noticed that the strength and sanctity of my non-gay
marriage remains unaffected.
However, I can’t help but notice that people are still fighting
the wrong fight in places where the gay marriage debate is still ongoing:
Why, oh why, are you asking - begging, even – for your state’s permission to get married, instead
of demanding to know why the hell the state is involved in marriage in the
first place? Why should you have to ask
the state’s permission to get married?
Why have we accepted this as being the status-quo? Totally normal?
In a country that brags constantly about its freedom, why do
we give the government first right of refusal when we want to commit our lives
to someone that we love?
