Bay State leads the way - for now

I do not understand nor will I ever understand the fear expressed by heterosexuals over gay marriage or even civil unions. They seem to think it is some sort of threat to heterosexual marriage that will somehow weaken it. HOW? The only threat to marriage is from the partners involved in said marriage, not from outside forces. Heterosexuals seem very insecure in this area and I guess this is evidenced best by the high divorce rate.

Then we have those who take some sort of high moral stand stating that it a sacred institution between a man and a woman (or in the case of early Mormons, women). If they want to believe that, fine, just don't tell gay men and women they can't marry.

As for the homophobes who say that people are not born gay, that they chose to be that way, I ask, can you change? If you are straight, can you change? No, of course not, that is the way you were born. You did not decide to become hetersexual.

As for the ultra-conservatives who claim they have changed homosexuals through prayer and therapy, I say they have scared very insecure homosexuals who caved in to pressure from parents, friends, and church members who are rabidly anti-gay. They did not change. They just supressed their desires and activities to win approval of those they fear. Unfortunately this may have grave consequences for them and others somewhere down the road.

When will the human race wake up? When will the human race stop hating? When will the human race stop wars? When will...
