TBF: Gay Marriage
Somewhat Damaged (The Fragile)
Since the civil rights movement back in the 60's, the fight raged from coast to coast, all for the simplest rights: equality, compromise, peace, and the end of discrimination, greed, deceit, war, privae agendas and.....well........ Some battles take longer than others. But now we've slowly but surely made headway, but the fight for equality still rages on with the focus now shifted. In the last three years homosexuals and transgenders have been protesting discrimination from everything to where they can live and work, child adoption, and most recently the hot button issue that is the basis for this week's column. So I ask you: Is it a crime for love to become official? We'll find out, as today on The Brian Factor we tackle: Gay Marriage.
The Story:
In the last ten years the ongoing fight for gay rights (often focused from topic to topic, i.e. the right to adopt children, the right to claim health benefits for their partners, and so on...) but the one subject that always returns to the center stage is gay marriage. Within the last two years the government has been discussing back and forth on why and why not same-sex marriage can not be recognized, with many of the nay-sayers (many of whom are from moral, religious and conservative organizations who often push for a nation under their God and oppose anything that would violate those strict beliefs) stating that a marriage between two of the same sex would be a violation of God's law, and with many claiming that by refusing to recognize marriage is a violation of human rights. And so the ever growing war of the Conservatives and the Liberals rages on with no sign of ever being resolved anytime soon.......
The Reasoning:
With the current laws in the country, same-sex marriage will only be recognized in certain states; yet across the globe many countries such as Canada and England and others have legalized same sex marriage, yet we can't because it's [against] "God's Law." Simply put, we can't because the Bible forbids it, and of course any debate to support [the theory] that some people are predisposed to be gay from birth is tossed aside and all that can be said is that it's a perversion of our society, and marking the beginning of the 21st century's Sodom and Gomorrah, where sins shall be everywhere, and where [it] is nothing more than the breeding ground of Satan's temptation's that will damn your souls.
My Two Cents:
First off, to the moral and religous zealots: Shut the fuck up!!!! It ain't about the Bible and you know it, you just don't like gay people; you don't like the idea of two guys kissing and you don't want them to be happy. Secondly, who the fuck are you to judge what's right and wrong!!! You are not God!! And you sure as hell ain't speaking for Him, and let's really go into God's truth: in the Bible it says that "God hates the sin, but loves the sinner..........." Something tells me He'll let this whole thing slide, and, honestly, to everyone who judges people... remember: however you measure another person, God shall measure you the same. And to those who still claim that A.I.D.S. was God's vengeance on all homosexuality, then why does it affect millions around the world? Little children who've never even heard the concept of homosexuality are dying everyday, countries have famine, we are at war and people both US and Iraqi are figthing and dying, pollution, corruption, crime, unemployment, etc. and all we can focus on is two guys who want to get married to each other!!!! Truly, you guys need to get your priorities straight, not the people who love each other and want to get married.
Love is love, and when you love someone and want to spend the rest of your lives together, then you want to get married, and you should. Our world isn't perfect, and it's run by imperfect, ignorant, close-minded people. I believe a comedian once said: "Gay people have the right to be miserable like us too!!"
Recently a very close friend of mine came out and her mother disowned her for being in love with another woman. Today it's hard to be a woman, a minority, and gay, and she all three to deal with...... One day I know she'll find a woman who'll give her the love, courage and support that, sadly, her mother will never give her and when that day comes, i do hope she'll be able to cement her love..............
Perhaps in time, those who are blind will see. 'Til then, let those who are fighting for the right to love, to find love, and to those who want to be miserable, let them be miserable.... after all, we're all human.......... Finally, to those who can't see beyond their close mindedness.............FUCK YOU!!
That concludes this week's edition of The Brian Factor. As always feedback, questions, your two cents are always welcome, so send them in.
As always take care of each other, this was The Brian Factor, I'm Brian and I am done and until next time... PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!
So impressed with all you do,
Tried so hard to be like you.
Flew too high and burnt the wing,
Lost my faith in everything
Lick around divine debris,
Taste the wealth of hate in me.
Shedding skin, succumb defeat,
This machine is obsolete
Made the choice to go away,
Drink the fountain of decay.
Tear a hole exquisite red,
Fuck the rest and stab it dead
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
Too fucked up to care anymore.
Poisoned to my rotten core,
Too fucked up to care anymore
