Governor signs gay rights bills

So I mistakenly was looking on the Mail Tribune (local news paper) website and came across the link Governor signs gay rights bills I clicked on it and it took me to a form where people were discussing gay rights. The first post in the form says:

“This is a sad day in Oregon History. My heart weeps for the future of our children and true marriage. Marriage is ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN. Anything else is NOT marriage. Call it anything else but it will NEVER be marriage. They may have won this battle but we know who wins the war. “

I got mad and wrote back. I would usually just be angry and accept that I have different beliefs than them and not do anything about it but I created an account and wrote I back the following:

My heart weeps for the future of YOUR children since you are sheltering them from reality, possible friendships, and teaching them to DISCRIMINATE against somebody because they are gay. Marriage is a relationship in which TWO PEOPLE have pledged themselves to one another. A relationship is formed by loving and caring for one another and does not matter who you find love in and who loves you as long as you both are happy, GAY OR STRAIGHT!

I find this sad that this is how you feel. I’m a happily married woman who is married to a man, however I have many Gay friends and Gay couples that if they were not in my life I would be missing out on some amazing friendships and amazing HUMAN BEINGS.

I am one to not argue my political beliefs because I know everybody thinks his or her beliefs are right. I would rather spare the argument that nobody will win at. However, I felt I needed to say something. I think I’m just tired of hearing the word “gay” “gays” like they are a breed of people. Just like somebody who might breed Labridor retrievers would talk about their “Lab” or “Labs”. This just disgusts me that people can’t accept.
