One of the many topics that news agencies prefer to dwell on, in order to deter your attention from the real issues is gay marriage.  On and on, they would ramble about how bad it is, how God did not intend for it to happen and how the world is going to blow up if we see two men or women holding hands and loving each other, while heterosexual couples are fighting with flamethrowers and baseball bats.

To paraphrase Bill Hicks, if the opponents of gay marriage are such good Christians why don’t they just…hm…forgive gay couples.  Christianity promotes forgiveness, doesn’t it?  Now, I know that people are going to say that this is an issue about principles and the definition of “marriage.”  Well, if you haven’t already noticed I don’t really pay much attention to the terms themselves, but rather to my own experiences.  As a straight man, I can say  that gay people are obviously happier, positive and usually more open-minded than the “blessed” heterosexuals.  Gay couples have been fighting for the right to marry each other for some time now; why shoudn’t they have it?  I would really like to hear somebody’s view on that question.
