People always think that I say I am against gay marriage just to be difficult. First of all "against" is not the right word. It's not that I think it's gods will for a man and a woman or any of that crap. Plus I also think it's view that it undermines the sanctity of marriage. (That would require thinking there is actual sanctity in modern marriage in the first place.)
But, the fact of the matter is...I think the fight for gay marriage is a massive waste of time for the "community". What they should have done was pimped out the Domestic Partnership option so that it was better than marriage. Considering what ego maniacs the hardcore community homos tend to be, I would have thought they'd be all over this.
Alas, the continue the fight to be like everybody else. A concept that boggles my mind. I spent most of my life NOT wanting to be like anybody else. Now a days, I could really give a shit.
Nonetheless, I'm never gonna get married because it doesn't interest me. I don't want to pay for a divorce, and I'd rather not be legally tied to someone for the rest of my life. If there were a better less invasive option I might be interested. That would depend on what who I'm with looked like.
This I think actually would undermine the sanctity of marriage. More people would start opting for the domestic partnership option if it were more appealing than the current marriage package. People could still holding weddings, and buy the dress, and the ring and all that hoopla. But it's legally a domestic partnership ceremony, and statistically that's what people would be doing. Religious freaks could still get a good old fashioned marriage.
The gays had an opportunity, (and still do), to do something really progressive for modern society and they dropped the ball miserably. All for what I think is nothing more than semantics.
