Let me put it this way... My take on the whole matter is this: we're all human. As humans, we should all have the same opportunities for happiness and misery as everyone else. The rights to exist, vote, an education, get married to whomever we love and later resent and divorce, then miss and have a few regrettable late night drunken confessions to an answering machine.
No matter what color you are, what hardware you have in your pants, who you find attractive, or what your pronouns are, you should have the rights and ability to do the same things everyone else can.
I believe in human rights.... As in, the same for all humans. When we no longer have the need to differentiate by some adjective, like trans rights or gay marriage or whatever, and it's just human rights and marriage, regardless of the individuals involved, then maybe we won't be a piece of shit society. Anyone railing against the rights of other humans based on some quirk of their personality (and bluntly, the idiosyncrasies of your gender and identity are minor compared to all the shit that's the same between you and other humans), is simply discrimination. We are all more alike than different.
So let's not be assholes to eachother. Okay?
You sound like YOU'RE the problem here, if folks thought like you how would the rich divide us? Plus shit would be all nice and that sounds rather nich actually but still...HATE.
In all seriousness I wish more people had your point of view, it takes too much energy and time to worry shit that doesn't affect us. I'll never understand why people just can't be cool and mind their business.
Also a silly side note I never liked bud light but I'll order in bars just to watch people's opinion of me change... to amuse myself...so somehow Anheuser Busch managed to get me to drink piss.
You had me in the first half, I'm not going to lie.
As some have said, over and over: if you don't like gay marriage, don't get gay married.
Related, I too, troll people in very much the same way. I don't think I'm going to stoop to buying that piss just to amuse myself though.
Thanks for playing along... honestly your point of view was the most reasonable and well thought out on here, I had to be a smuck just a bit for funsies. I'll never understand why folks hate when we have much more important shit going on in life.
My brother did get gay married and his husband is the best member of the family....
