Last Tuesday there were some minor elections in the US – I think that the three main battles don’t really give any indication on the Obama Presidency. I’m not an Obama fan so I wish I could take some more from the results but this isn’t Fox News – although I love Fox News expecially Meghan Kelly…. she is a smarter/prettier version of Bill O’Reily (I should email him that and see if he sends me a signed copy of “Bold Fresh” – hahaha).
One of the other things that was voted on was in the state of Maine to repeal a decision that gay marriage is legal. The result was that the decision was repealed. This happened in California in the 2008 election as well.
I did some reading and gay marriage has been put to a vote 31 times and all 31 times it was voted down…..
I’m personally for gay marriage – I don’t think me, or anyone else, has the right to tell anyone they can’t get married.
I once heard a lesbian artist from New Zealand speaking about gay marriage and I can’t quote her verbatim but she said “Marriage is what str8 people do – I’m a lesbian, I don’t want to get married.” It put a different slant on things and I thought her view was a breath of fresh air.
Perhaps some people aren’t ready to allow gay people to get married and that has been shown 31 times now. Instead of pushing ‘marriage’ down peoples throat I would prefer to see a concentrated effort of making sure that gay couple have the same ‘legal rights’ that str8 couples have.
I knew exactly what I wanted to say in this post and it has ended up a rambling shambles. I don’t post many political posts here but it is fun every, now and then.
