Same Hate - Different Excuse
I get so sick of all the B.S. around Marriage equality. Hating someone because they love someone with the same anatomy is no different than hating someone because of their skin color, eye color, or hair color. It is wrong and someday we will win the fight for equality.

A Conversation with my Wife (Phil Robertson)
“You know we have to be more careful now.” I stated hesitantly.
“What do you mean? We hardly go out, and when we do, we barley hold hands.” She said confused and slightly concerned.
“I know but with this Duck Dynasty, shit, all the bigots are going to feel justified. They feel like they have a star on their side. All the bigots are going to feel empowered. We already have to worry about hate crimes and I am very concerned that this could escalate quickly.”
“So we are making headway in so many states but this could have been a huge step backwards?” She said exasperated.
“Yes… A&E has taken a back seat in the fight, and backed down from their original statement. Phil Robertson is not just getting away with it… He won this fight, but we can’t stop. We must continue fighting for our rights. By God someday I will be able to walk hand in hand with you at the grocery store. I am so freaking sick of the hatred and bullshit. I just want to have a normal life and not live in fear.” I said beginning to rant.
“I know baby but we have each other and for now that is all that matters.” she said looking sadly into my eyes.
I kissed her gently, wrapped her into my arms, and listened to her breathe as she fell asleep. However, sleep was evasive and when I finally dosed off my fears turned into nightmares once again.

Thing that PISS me off (Being Homosexuality)
1. “Homosexuality is a sin and there is no place in heaven for gays”
I don’t fucking care. You “Religion” does not run my life and my afterlife is MY concern. You can disagree with my decision to be with a person of the same sex but you can in no way apply YOUR religion to my life. PLUS I don’t want to be in your heaven anyway.
2. “Homosexuality will lead to bestiality”
This is just fucking stupid. My wife is in no way anything near a dog or goat. The fact that people say this just shows how ignorant they really are. This statement relates to the fact that you believe that one of the people in the marriage is not a person… has not consented, and is below normal human standards.
3. “Homosexuals are pedophiles”
Also fucking stupid. Homosexuals are no more likely than straight people to be pedophiles. If I wanted to be a pedophile I would just join the clergy and have all the protection I needed.
4. “Gay sex is Gross”
For you maybe... but from the state of porn on the internet it looks like men really like to watch anal sex with women.. How is that any different? If you have ever watched anal porn or fucked your girl in the ass then you have no right to comment on the “grossness” of gay sex. Plus what people do with their privates is their own business… that is why they are called privates.
5. “Gays are promiscuous and commit Adultery”
I have never committed adultery but I was a bit promiscuous before I met my wife. Being gay has no impact on a person’s morals. I know plenty of gay people in long standing relationships. However, Even if people chose to be promiscuous and commit adultery it should have no impact on their ability to get married… Straight people are promiscuous and commit adultery all the time, but they are still allowed to get married.
6. “Gay Marriage will lead to the downfall of marriage”
WTF? More people getting married will help stabilize marriage instead of harming it. I would bet that my marriage is much more stable than 80% of Straight Americans. I had to fight for what I love and I cherish it even more due to the struggle.
