I admit, I don't know the US constitution like you guys. I'm not sure if marriage is a right or a priviledge in the US.
I am a straight male and I just want to know what makes me better that a gay male to gain the "priviledge" of marriage. Why I'm I more worthy of marriage than a gay man? What have I done to earn the priviledge to get married? - I haven't done anything to earn it, yet I have it.
There has been words banded about in this forum, child molesters, bigots, AIDS.
There are bad gays, there are good gays.
There are bad straights, there are good straights.
There are bad black people, there are good black people.
There are bad white people, there are good white people.. and so on.
The main point is we are all human beings, who are subjectable to right and wrong. The balance of morality hangs over us.
I don't know, I guess I was brought up to judge a person by his character rather than race, creed or sexual preference.
I'm a student, the government pays me to study at university, so im that sense I'm kind of like a leech to the tax papers lol, I don't pay taxes. But hey I'm 21, I can get married.
Then I see a homosexual person who contributes to society, he pays his taxes, he votes for the party of his choosing, he's a decent human being.
Yet he can't marry.
Why?
Because, he's different.
Different?
His sexual preference is in the minority of the people. Not the majority. Some people in the majority don't particularly like that minority.
Tell me, coz I want to know. Is my priveledge to get married because my sexual preference is in the majority? Is that how my priveledge is earned? Because I "fit in"?
