The Undeniable's View On PROP 8

I recently received a few messages/emails inquiring as to what The Undeniable's thoughts were regarding the Prop 8 situation.  Look, who I love and want to commit my life to does not affect you and vice versa.  Anyone who thinks 'gay marriage' will destroy the traditional institution of marriage is obviously fearful of what they do not understand.  I think the sanctity of 'hetero marriage' died out years and years ago.  .................................................

Beyond this ignorant way thinking, I have heard how permitting 'gay marriage' will hurt the children.  I have to laugh at this unintelligent school of thought.  Those who are so hellbent on the tradition of marriage say  they are concerned that their children will learn that it is 'okay' to have same-sex parents.  And this is bad because???  What about the children of same-sex parents who are being told that their parents are 'going to hell' or 'destroying the country'?  Do these god-fearing people have any idea of the stress, humiliation and pressure they are putting on these kids?  I guess the children of same-sex parents don't deserve to be treated as equals?  There is that 'same-but-not-equal' thing.  Hmm?  Didn't we hear that once before in this country?

Which brings me to this thought...  To all those lovely Mormon folks who are also black...  Do you realize you were thought of as worse than a white homosexual up until 1978?  You were considered 'possessed' because your skin is black.  Heh-heh.  And I saw some of you throwing punches to defend your illustrious religion.  Shame on you and shame on many, many of the hetero black people in this country!  There was a time, not so long ago, none of you had rights and you sure you liked the GLBT people who stood and fought by your side then.  Don't you think it is time to return the favor?  Martin Luther King, Jr would be appalled at what has become the hetero/religious black community in the United States.

This is great.  I saw a 'slogan' which read, "Yes on Prop 8- Procreate!"  Oh my.  There are some really stupid haters out there.  How many children are up for adoption and how many in foster care?  Approximately 17% of children under the age of 16 are currently apart of the system.  Yes!  Procreate!  Make more babies!   We need more welfare children and dysfunctional gang-bangers and scam-artist preachers in the world.  Hell, we need more people period, right?  Sadly, there are people    out there who want to foster/adopt many of these children to get them out of the system and offer them a better life, but they are gay and it appears that is also bad.  Better to leave them in the system and let them rot.  Prop 8...  For the children?

.................................................

Finally, as an Ex-Ordained & Licensed Minister, I want to approach this subject from a religious view.  While the Deadly Desert Three (Mainstream Judaism, Muslim & Christian) complain that they want to maintain their rights to discriminate against the GLBT Community likewise, there are other religions in this country- even sects of Christianity that believe in GLBT marriage.  Therefore, as a country, are we not taking away the right to freedom of religion?  Unitarian Universalists, some sects of Judaism & Christianity, Pagans and Wiccans and some Hindu and Buddhists believe in and support 'gay marriage'.  What about their right to the First Amendment?
