So homosexual marriage has been legalised in USA overall.
10 years ago
This is terrific news. It probably won't be the start of enlightenment for the Supreme Court, but we'll have something to point to when it turns out that, no, this won't end the world or hex the third-world countries or make the rivers run red with heathen blood.
Nope. Not even going to make an "Any hole's a goal; even a manhole" joke. It's a great thing that we finally have the acceptance of law that one person can legally express *love* for another person without being vilified. Because that's what it is, right? It's fighting for the right to have a homo-couple's deep affection recognised legally. It's not something that the law should get involved in anyway (or, really, has the right to), to illegalise love, but at the very least, it's not an arbitrary obstacle any longer.
Unfortunately, it'll probably take even longer for this opinion to take hold (and it'll probably be tough to find a bakery willing to provide confectionery for the weddings), but the people who are of the negative persuasion have been taught some very outdated things from a book that has almost no logistical relevance nowadays (the bulk of which happened around 2000 years ago, hasn't really been updated since, and is vague and flaky enough to be reinterpreted time and time again by saints and sworn acolytes). Those people shouldn't be punished nor attacked nor mocked. This is what they think is morally right, and it's up to others to gently update their understanding of how the world works. After all, an opinion forced on others is no opinion at all, and we would be no better than the bigots who insist that a man who sleeps with another man is an abomination.
Christianity is pretty great, and it teaches a lot of useful things (being kind to one another, charity, sanctity of life, respect), but perhaps it is time to not let oneself be defined by their religion any longer. To be a Christian, but not be beholden to opinions and standards that were formed before one's bloodline even started.
I don't know, but I stopped trying to get into Heaven about fourteen years ago, because I wanted to help make the Earth more pleasant (with impulse charity, mostly), and what I was taught was in conflict with what I believed. If we could have more success like the homo-marriage institution, we'd have no need for Heaven.
We'd already be there.
