This topic is going to be controversial so I suggest not reading if your big girl or boy panties aren't on.
I'm just disgusted. Makes me wonder what year we're living in. Certainly doesn't feel like 2012.
I was chilling out today watching the news. There was coverage of Obama's recent endorsement of gay marriage and how church groups who voted for him before are now saying because of this that he's going to be loosing their backing. Romney is openly against it because of his religion and hasn't hidden that fact. He uses the excuse that it's protecting the family. what - so gay people don't have loving, strong, healthy, good, honest families too?! (side note - the highest divorce rate in America is in the bible belt - the lowest is Atheists - can't give the gay %'s because they're being denied this right).
Leave people alone !!! Gee all they want to do is have the same basic rights that we male/female married couples enjoy. Love is love! You can't tell me a man/woman relationship is any different than a same sex relationship when it comes to love. This is as basic and backwards as not letting black people ride the same bus, or give up their seat to a white person in the American 50's. I can't imagine not being allowed to get healthcare or visit a loved one in hospital because people wouldn't allow it!
I'm not gay. I do't even know any gay folks except cyber ones but I 100% support their right and will fight for them and vote accordingly.
Off my soapbox, flame away, big girl panties being worn lol
