Freedom to me, means Equal rights for all!

Last night I had a discussion about the whole Marriage situation...and I thought to myself, hell, you want to write an amendment that states that Same Sex couples cannot marry, fine, do it, but if our government is going to be so close minded, and do so, then so be it, but then, take away this right from everyone, not just Same Sex couples, because apparently the Heterosexual population can't seem to get it right, so take their right away too, and lets be consistent for once.

I mean seriously...Same Sex couples are more prone to make it work, because they really want it. Why would someone go through all the headaches of achieving something like this, and then toss it aside so freely as people do these days with marriage. Think about it, all of the heartache, the daily pressure, and lack of acceptance. Someone willing to go through that is not just doing something without thinking. It is truly something I believe would last a lifetime.

The same thing goes for childbirth. People these days abuse this far more than not. This country tries to blame TV, Music, Movies, Video Games. Anything they can blame on why children grow up with social disorders, or as murders, or thieves. When really, these children, which vary from personality to personality, are in the situation they are in because of being forced into a world where they are not wanted, under appreciated, and rarely cared for. Childbirth should be something you have to apply for, the same as those that cannot conceive children, the same as adoption. I truly believe, that if people had to fight for it, because they actually wanted to raise a child. I truly believe that child would be born into a much happier world. That child would grow up appreciated, loved, and have a better chance in finding a life he/she truly wants.

Now, with everything, there would still be those even born into loving and caring homes that would rebel. Nothing in life is perfect, but at least we could eliminate the factor of that child being born, and unwanted. Because bringing a child into this world, without good intentions, is a crime to me.

So…sorry, I kind of went off here. Just some thoughts I had. I am so glad to see the result yesterday. It was disheartening to realize that it was still close, but we won nonetheless. Marriage to me is a sacred bond of love and companionship between two consenting adults, no matter sex, orientation or preference. Why take that away from anyone, and furthermore in our free world, why was it even up for discussion. Yes, I know the answer, but still with all the answers in my head, I still ask the same questions.

Ok, I am babbling…

Ciao
