The Gay Witch Hunt

Any of you who watch the Office know exactly what I'm talking about when you hear me utter the words "Gay Witch Hunt." But it applies to a much larger population than the society of Office watchers. The Gay Witch Hunt is one of the biggest issues of the modern age. We have created this scandalous controversy of Gaydom that is revolting, honestly. Here are the "arguments", plain and simple; the things that people say that are just excuses for their own terror and suspicion.

1. It's unnatural.

Well, maybe. Our anatomy isn't made for homosexuality, that is true. But our body also wasn't intended to use vaccines or to take in pasteurized products or antibiotics. These are just as, if not more unnatural, and they are vital to our health and well-being. It's not an indulgence on our part, it's a simple addition to our civilization's way of life. Well, time to face it folks. There are homosexuals, and a lot of them. They are also a part of our civilization. Next time your conservative Southern Baptist wife eliminates the greys in her hair, she is going against nature just as much as my friend from high school that likes to kiss men. Should a woman that has had a complete hysterectomy be disallowed to marry because she can't procreate? Should she lose her right to love as well as the ability to bear fruit? It's just wrong. Love is not only about the children, it's about being in LOVE.

2. It goes against God.

Not really. Not at all. Marriage is defined in a biblical sense as the joining and intimacy of two people that share a bond of love and a desire to be true to each other for life eternal. Not "Man and Woman," but two people. In fact, originally, God had only intended to create a man. One man. Woman was an afterthought because he liked man so much and wanted more perfection. We are all created in his image, and according to the Bible, men are more in his image because they were created first. What is so sinful about loving someone in the image of God? Furthermore, the ability to procreate, which is what most religious nuts say is the reason for loving someone when they're arguing the subject, was originally created as a punishment to Adam and Eve for eating of the tree of knowledge. Eve only bore Cain after being banished from Paradise. So, there goes that argument right out the window. God bade us love one another. He, in all of His wisdom, did not specify, "Man must love only Woman and Woman, Man," but told us we must love all to honor Him. What is wrong with one man wanting to spend his life with another man? His love, or the love of a woman loving another woman, is just as beautiful, sacred and holy as the love I share with the man who gave me a son. Case closed.

And really, those are the only arguments anyone has to offer to the contrary of the idea of legalizing homosexuality in a marital situation. But the arguments for Gay marriage are overwhelming. Homosexual life partners deserve the chance to voice those arguments, to be heard and honored. But today, the "Most romantic day of the year," they have to say once again that they are life partners and haven't been allowed the chance to marry. It's sick, it's wrong, and it's sad. I'm planning a wedding for myself and my fiance, why can't they?

Happy Valentine's, all. And remember that God loves you and that I love you no matter who you love.
