Legal marriage is legal, but
10 years ago
General
A wild Yukino appeared!! The dreaded "But"...
This is an opinion piece. You do not have to agree with me, but these are my thoughts.
If you don't know, same-sex marriage was legalized in the United States today.
A lot of people seem to be blaming religion for all the intolerance regarding same-sex marriage. I believe in the notion that religion was created to provide a respectful basis and guidelines on how to treat people in daily ways of life through a deity or higher force. I don't think that religion is inherently bad, it's just the ways that people misuse it and skew it to their own advantage.
Not to mention, that there are other reasons why people may not support same-sex marriage. There are moral ("Two men and women are not supposed to have sex with each other") and sociopolitical ("How will other people treat my child if they find out they have two mothers/fathers?") reasons. I don't personally believe these things, but there are people that think this way.
Will the world just simply do better without religion? Possibly, but religion has been around for hundreds of years before this even became an issue.
Case in point:
Religious folk, stop being assholes.
LGBTQ persons, don't rub it in.
Anyhow, *Waves multicolored flag*.
If you must know, I'm agnostic.

I'm an Atheist so of course religious stuff bothers me especially when it's infringing on people's rights. BUT I've also seen some rude remarks coming from the LGBTQ community. I'm very happy for them right now but people need to refrain from being so egotistical.
