The gay…
It was about mid day Tuesday when I began to feel uneasiness. There was something wrong in the universe. I felt as if my marriage was beginning to crumble and my morality was being attacked. I couldn’t figure it out. Then I saw the news…
“Gay marriage makes history in Kern County, California, dozens of gay couples wed”
Oh wait…it was just gas. Nothing cosmically horrible occurred. The ground didn’t open up and swallow the human race. Life as we know it didn’t come to an end. Gay couples just had their relationship recognized legally.
Now I try not to talk about things political here, but this is a story that relates to families and parenting. I have always felt that if you are lucky enough to find happiness, grab on to it. If that happiness is with someone of the same sex, who am I to judge. It’s not a question of religion, it a question of law. How does the law see these couples. It should see them in the same way that it sees all questions of sex and race, blindly.
I was raised in a very conservative home. I then went into theatre, which is one of the most liberal fields. I have met many gay men and women. I have been accused of being one myself. I have to say, some of the greatest and most influential people in my life have been gay. Some of the best parents I know are gay. They are happy, in love, and bring up a child with 2 loving parents.
Also, why do we, the straight, think we’ve got the corner on marriage? It seems to me that we breeders have been the ones screwing up the idea of marriage for hundreds of years.
