I think this may be a timely due to the recent media attention it has garnered because of Stephen Harper. There is talk of an election being called to address this situation once and for all. Below are some of my perceptions on this exact topic.
The Politics Involved Currently in the World of Same Sex Marriages.
[...]This is how messed up is the world is right now. We are all so politically correct and have an opinion on the world of same sex relationships and whether or not same sex marriages are a morally correct thing to allow. First off, who cares? The whole institution of marriage is failing anyway and if you have read carefully you would realize that society and the world has played a big part and is greatly responsible for this fact. There are opinions on this topic from every facet of society; from the church, to the state to the corporate world and so on. I think we are entirely missing the point here. As for same sex relationships, the only people it should matter to in the first place are the people involved in the relationship. Get out of your bubbles people! It is not a disease nor has it anything to do with social, cultural or our upbringing. It is just the way a portion of the population is wired and the oppression needs to come to an end. I know that is unlikely to happen in the backward-thinking towns of B…. F… (insert state name here). Wow, I think that was an unintentional play on words there.[....]
[...]After all, I think the same sex world is likely making a mistake with the marriage thing anyway and the divorce rate will be substantially higher until they get a handle on what needs to be accepted in their own society. It is true that if you are in a long term relationship, a lot of the legal and social benefits of marriage as well as being recognized by the rest of society is important, but until or shall I say unless you can keep it in your pants and remain monogamous, then what do you want to get married for? So, my gay friends, the same rules apply for you as in the straight world. Not until you have spent significant amount of time together should you even consider getting married. You will thank me if you do. If you do spend this time together and can honestly say that your search has stopped, then go for it! Be happy but make sure you have waited. Divorce is ugly and it won’t be any different in the Gay World.
Let us all just live in peace without worrying about one another’s sexual orientation. So what if your buddy is gay. It is not a reflection on you and only becomes one if you make it that way. Your gay friend has had a hard enough time dealing with oppression, acceptance and fashion issues, to have his supposed good friends rag on him for something he has no choice in. Sexual orientation is pre-determined for us. We have no choice. It is not worth the time and anguish to spend thinking about it. You either are gay or not or you are somewhere in-between those are the simple facts. There is no magical cure for it. I know that this may be upsetting to some of you but that just is the way it is. Face it. Accept it. Embrace it. Gay society has enough already to deal with. It is ridden with insecurity, drug and alcohol abuse, and acceptance issues. In fact, it sounds a bit like the straight world. It is trying to find an identity. Leave it be.[...]
