The Straight Christian Males View on the DOMA Decision

The Straight Christian Males View on the DOMA Decision Those faces (From aceshowbiz.com) I know this is a bit slow to the party, we all know what happened and have reacted properly. I want to think through my feelings on this first though and really form something thoughtful and thorough for you guys. I wont bombard you with statistics about how bad or good homosexual couples are. And even though, as the titlestates, I am Christian I wont throw tons and tons of verses at you. But if not then why bother? you ask. Because you can google some statistic for yourself and easily find things that contradict what I present because of people using psuedo-science. (Hooray for that by the wayseriously, way to use the main way to find truths to provide you lies, really great job. Im slow clapping for you) And I wont throw scripture at you because since when the hell is this a religious debate? Since stupid, thats when. Once stupidity enters any conversation that conversation is essentially dead. Theres also the debate that its unnatural and just wrong and therefore they shouldnt be allowed to marry because ew thats not natural. Shut up, neither is plastic. Now then, weve written a few articles about this topic but the death of DOMA is significant. So, then now that we have some foundation laid lets begin.Going back to my last point about this not being a religious debate seems strange, right? Homosexuals destroy the sanctity of marriage! you cry out. OK, but the 2-week Hooray for lack of progress (From yoism.org) Hollywood marriages dont? Lets face it, whatever sanctity of marriage was left after Henry VIII started beheading women who couldnt give him a son(no seriously that happened, if you dont know check it out. Happened in like 1982I think anyways) has long since been destroyed. Im sorry, Id love to get married eventually and have a nice ceremony but that wouldnt make it anymore sanctified than any other marriage gay or otherwise. Now some people say a marriage is sanctified by God and since being gay is a sin they cant have that. So HA! Take that, gays! Wrongback track a bit here. Lets cover the two things wrong here: 1) if you believe in God as well then congratulations youre also a sinner so there goes sinners cant get married 2) Atheists and people of other religions get married, do theirs just get discredited on a technicality? Im not trying to write off any higher power here, just trying to point out your inconsistency. For the religious folks who say religion is defined as being between a man and a woman  check again.  Its a SOCIAL contract, meaning religion is not a prerequisite. My main push has been to just let them do it because how does it affect you? Whether you call it marriage, a legal union, whatever, why are we denying people basic rights to their loved ones? If we want to get legal about it and say that America is a Christian nation, blah blah blah. No it isnt, it was invented out of the idea s of freedom from persecution. Read the constitution, God shows up around 0 times, if you round up. Thats not to say none of the values are there and our forefathers were godless heathens, but its not what they wanted America for. America was made for, as Braveheart would say, FREEDOM. Now then, onto the science of being gay now that legalities are over with. I got some fresh krill at my place (From funmag.org) Aww look at the cute little penguins.who could possibly be gay. Just saying. Being gay isnt unnatural because it kind of happens in nature about all the time. Various creatures do it and actually do it without bullying the homosexual ones either. So good job again humans, youre bigger a-holes than dolphins and those guys suck. Now,I cant say with 100% certainty that it is something your born as or not but from everyone Ive asked it was. Ive heard stories that some people chose to be and then chose not to be anymore. So it obviously differs and that brings up the whole Nature vs. Nurture concept. Which if you dont know what it is, in short its basically a debate as to whether behavior arises because it is simply hardwired into us (nature) or as a direct result of upbringing (nurture). Personally, I think it isnt much of a choice. Just from what Ive gathered from talking with people about this, its hard to accept that its a choice. And if you reading this think it is a choice then I ch allenge you right now to choose to be gay. Do itits just a choice. I cant choose that and cant even imagine doing it because thats not for me, but for others it is. Ill leave you with this thought to ponder then for a bit, if you are dead set on it has to be a choice then think about it in these terms: its not necessarily deciding whether or not they want to be gay, its deciding whether or not they want to lie about who they are for fear of persecution or to come out and accept whatever may come along with their happiness.So theres my views. Im happy DOMA finally died, but severely disheartened it took this long and isnt even legal in most states because we as humans suck. If you are part of the LGBTQ community I just want to apologize on behalf of fellow Christians who may have turned you away. I accept you with open arms as little as that really means. I dont want to get too preachy up on my soapbox, but please know we arent all like that. For some reason every dumb person has their voice heard by millions and unfortunately their hateful rhetoric is the minority. But again Im sorry for everything. Take that for what you will. Please if you want to discuss this more contact me, if you feel unsure of where you stand on this, on your sexuality, whatever it may be you can contact me. Id be a third-party neutral source. Anyways feel free to drop your opinion in the comments, Ill respond as I can.
