What is the big fucking deal with gay marriage? It's obviously self-evident to me that this shouldn't be an issue and that gay marriage should be allowed since it's what I believe in, but c'mon. Why do so many people give a shit as to what other people do? It's not like allowing men to marry men and women to marry women suddenly halts the practice of men and women marrying.

Also, before we go any further, it just needs to be said that Bill Frist is fucked up.

For some reason, anti-gay factions say that this undermines the institution of marriage. That's bullshit, because it's not based on anything. I would say it's a "leap in logic," but there's actually no logic involved whatsoever. It's nothing but ignorant, intolerant, and often religious rhetoric. You know what undermines the institution of marriage? The bloody high divorce rate. Or people getting married when they're like 12 because they're too lazy or insecure to wait or even find someone decent. Which, of course, is helping contribute to said high divorce rate. Seriously, it's shit like that which is making it seem to me like marriage doesn't mean shit anymore to quite a few people.

I can't remember who it was who said it, but these anti-gay marriage people should actually be advocating gay marriage, because that's the surefire way to keep them from having sex.

And this word "sacrament" being used to describe marriage is just making me want to puke in my soup. Do you think maybe they meant to say "sacrifice," and just fucked it up somewhere along the way?
