About time!

I heard a little bit about gay marriage legalization today. Apparently the Supreme Court just voted to make same sex marriage legal in all 50 states.

Some people were thrilled about it while others ranted about how it shouldn't have happened. I may be biased because a few of my friends and family members are gay or bisexual, but I think this is rather ridiculous. It's in the declaration that all men are equals. Personally I think it should be people but a rant for another day. We've had a civil war to create a society accepting if different races and to abolish slavery. Women have had rights to vote and have the same jobs as men do. Equality has been a worked towards for so many years, centuries even, and same sex marriage is just being legalized?

Why do people think they should have a say in how people choose to live their lives if they're not hurting anyone? I don't understand why people think same sex marriage is such a big deal. They're people that just happen to love other people of the same sex and want to live their lives in peace. Where's the problem?

I've heard people say that it's wrong from the view of their religion. If you think it's wrong, don't participate it. Treat them as you would other people, but don't have a friendship. Just because someone else is gay doesn't mean that you can't like the person they are.

Marriage is marriage whether it's a man and a woman, two women, two men, or any other combination I don't know of. Two people that love each other, or were forced into marriage, and live their lives. What's the big deal? Everyone deserves to be happy. If they're not hurting you, why are you trying to run their lives? They should have had the same rights all along. Just saying.
