So this girl in one of my classes today was talking about gay marriage, and how she couldn't be more against it. When I asked her why, she said something like "if they allow gay marriage, the next thing we know people will be marrying their dogs and giving it to them up the [butt], and people will say oh let them be happy." Dear miss, you are ridiculous. That's like saying back in the day "slavery should stay. if we let the slaves go free, next thing you know, people won't wear pants." You're thinking Pants? Slaves? Those aren't at all related. Well, precisely. Homosexuality and bestiality aren't all too related either. I don't see how people can be so ignorant. I mean, sure, there are some that say they're "preserving the sanctity" of marriage (that doesn't make much sense to me either) but why not just accept that homosexuality exists? And that love between two men or two women could possibly be just as real as love between a man and a woman? And.. what's wrong with happiness anyway?

Whatever. Argue with me. I won't argue back though. Gay marriage is fine with me. I'm not going to go marry a girl but it's fine with me if you do. And I suppose it's okay with me if you're against it, I won't try to change your mind. But at least be respectful, and.. you know... reasonable. Sheesh.

And on another note that's not really too much of an other note, I'm probably going to see Brokeback Mountain soon and am amply pumped about it.
