Marriage laws are gay

Gay marriage will happen.


How long does America have before homosexuals all over this country are able to legally marry? I'd say not long at all. The rising generation is much more tolerant of alternative lifestyles than any generation before and they will soon start hitting the voting booths hard.
Of course with every strong tug in one direction causes an equally strong tug in the opposite. Action and reaction baby. I was walking through a high school a few months ago and noticed a poster on the wall that was promoting the celebration " Transgendered people." Now i have been out of school for a decade and that might seem like a century to some people, but it feels like yesterday to me, and this type of poster would have never been seen on the walls of my school. Acceptance of homosexuality as a lifestyle is rapidly becoming the norm so you know the push from the Religious community is going to be just as rapid and extreme to remind people that it should not be accepted.

Now if we were just dealing with the acceptance of being gay the battle would be much more quiet, but now that the gay community has pushed for the rights of marriage the battle has turned bloody and spilled out onto the streets. Gay's say we live in a free country and their civil rights should allow them the same rights to be married as a straight couple. The religious community argues against this because they say marriage is a religious institution and that God ordained marriage for a man and women alone. This battle sucks.

luckily for me the solution to this matter protects religion and at the same time allows freedom for homosexuals. Where did i first hear of this solution? Surprisingly enough it was from a guy that is about as liberal as can be and wants the government involved in almost every aspect of our lives, but when it comes to marriage he has a different view.

The problem is government, and so the solution is tossing them out.

We all have to ask ourselves why government is involved in marriage in the first place? Why must i get a marriage license? Am I not married if i truly believe I am? If the government disappeared would we then just be like, " Well i guess no one can be married anymore." No, because that would be ridiculous right?

Because the government has stepped in and made our personal business- their personal business- it is causing all the argument and fighting.

How about privatizing marriage? I can go to my local church and have the minister marry me and guess what? I'm freaking married!!! No license needed. Now if i decide that i want to make a legal contract with my spouse for problems like, What happens if one of us dies or we want a pre nup, then we have that option, but this fixes all problems. Marriage is kept religious for the religious and if your gay or you want to have 20 wives or husbands, then that's your business and it doesn't effect anyone else because "Marriage" is then only defined by you and you alone. If i don't want to accept two gay people as actually married then i don't have to and no law or government agency can tell me otherwise. That's freedom ladies.

Now i realize our system is screwed and with all the tax benefits and deductions and whatever else we have had shoved into our country that marriage is entangled with all parts of government. My proposal isn't any easy one or something that could be done overnight, but it's the only solution i can think of that doesn't take us deeper into Big government. Changes need to be made and then marriage can be saved from our real enemy- Big Gov.
