Since wh...Why is marriage the landmark of freedom?<br /><br />Since when did mimicking heterosexual relationships become the standard for homosexual relationships?<br /><br />We constantly hear that we will "WIN" the right to get married.<br /><br />What do we win? When you look at heterosexual marriages they are mostly sad examples of people living in quiet desperation, and the divorces are even worse.<br /><br />So what exactly is won?<br /><br />Wouldn't a campaign to actually get homosexuals to come out of the closet and work in the community towards environmental respect, civil rights for all, and peaceful resolutions to conflicts be more constructive than focusing on marriage?<br /><br />It's like demanding to be a part of the military? Why would you want that? <br /><br />It's like demanding to be part of a religion that has, at it's core, bigoted and destructive principles.<br /><br />Why would you want that?<br /><br />As the earth's climate changes, as wars for resources get worse, as the population grows at three people per second, the movement for sexual and gender equality has gotten stuck on marriage, the military and religion.<br /><br />And I don't understand what we're trying to win here. If the ice caps are melting, who cares if you're married?<br /><br />If bombs are being dropped on children (and homosexuals) in Iraq so you can buy affordable oil-based products for your wedding, who's civil rights are we talking about?<br /><br /><br />Religions demand one man and one woman for marriage, and you want to change that two men, or two women. Is that really changing anything? What about three women and a man? What about three men and a woman? Can they get married too?<br /><br />How we define relationships in a world going to ruin by war and environmental destruction, and heterosexist norms is the issue.<br /><br />Not marriage. We need third person political strategies where each person stands up for issues outside of their own little box.<br /><br />We need homosexuals to discuss how our lives can make a change in the environment, civil rights and resource usage.<br /><br />Otherwise, you're just planning a wedding in hell.Jimnoreply@blogger.com
