Gay Marriage
By Matsu
Yes. I heard the buzz. I guess I wasn't paying attention as my home state was the first in the nation to figure out the obvious and overturn the ban on same-sex marriage.
The more I think about it, the crazier it all sounds.
What compelling interest does the nation-state have in preventing two single adults from getting married to each other?
I really can't think of any.

I look words up in the dictionary - even ones whose definitions I think I know.
Sanctity as in "Sanctity of Marriage."
Merriam Webster gives definition one of "sanctity" as: holiness of life and character : GODLINESS.
I am pondering this a bit since yesterday; trying to figure out how someone can be against gays and not be homophobic. Perhaps by putting it on God's shoulders, they wiggle out of it. I can just hear it now. The person says, "well, I'm not a bigot. I'm tolerant. It's God who's the bigot. It is He who is intolerant."
Wow. More tolerant than God? How simply divine you must feel.
And hysterical. "More tolerant than God."
But then, who says tolerance is a virtue? Perhaps bigotry and hate are the real holy virtues after all, and we just have it wrong.
