I'm all for equal rights, but is it insensitive of me to not give a shit about this? I don't think it should be at the foreskin, no, sorry, forefront, of the national mastu...no, sorry, national debate. Let me start again. I don't think this should be taking precedence over some of the bigger issues that are going on out there. We just spent, what was it, $600B on new war funds? My state just cut over $130M out of the state healthcare budget. I think education got hit with something like a $300M decrease. Does gay rights stack up to any of that? I support the idea, but should this be on the same tier as some of the other problems we are confronting? |

Well, it's not on the same tier. I don't know what initiated this thread thought. But in some senses it's a prominent issue as it reflects how we treat ourselves. When two Americans have made a voluntary choice to marry, we're choosing to respect an unrelated individual's bigotry instead. It's ridiculously presumptuous and I've always found people against gay rights to be pretty pathetic. The fact that anti-homosexuality is a common theme both among ancient religions and dumb American gangs should tell you something about the type of people who think they have the right to tell someone else how to act in their own bubble. I think it also speaks to the urgency of the problem though...look around world and you'll find places without gay rights often don't have equal rights for women, ethnicities, or religions either. And those places suck. No one's gonna be spending hundreds of millions on this anyways though, so I wouldn't worry about this hurting the budget. Getting rid of dont-ask-dont-tell is just a matter of Obama signing a piece of paper. I don't know who would enact gay marriage, governors or state legislators perhaps, but it's just a Yes/No thing, not a matter of funding. |
