stardustcboy's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to Get Around the Gay Marriage Ban... HOW TO GET AROUND THE GAY MARRIAGE BAN� Even though there are many that say we live in a free society, the truth of the matter is that this is hardly so. In a democratic capitalist society, freedom is for those who are the majority and have money. If you happen to fall into the minority, and have little to no wealth then you�re pretty much screwed. You either have to live the way the majority tells you to, or move to another country where you�ll be accepted. Or do you? Sadly enough, in today�s modern age, you can�t walk too far before pissing someone off. There�s just going to be a time in your life where your very nature will make someone mad because they either don�t understand, or agree, or believe in your way of life. In a truly free society people would be free to do as they will. But this concept is fairly scary to people in charge and to people in general. Freedom is chaos, anarchy. It is the individual�s right to do as they see fit...even if it is murder or stealing or whatever. Thus, society has to have certain laws to keep it from completely collapsing in on itself. Most laws are morality based, put in place for the sole purpose of making sure everyone is good � so that we don�t steal, or kill, or generally mess with everyone else�s fundamental right to a fairly happy and worry-free existence. The down side is that some morality laws are completely pointless, written in a time when people just didn�t have a clue and/or had a very narrow view of human nature, life and existence. What got me started on all this is all this gay marriage ban non-sense. What LOGICAL reason is there for it? Really? There is none. It is wholly, completely and totally based on some obscure and obtuse morality principle. Why, rationally, can�t a man and a man get married? Why, rationally, can�t a woman and woman get married? I don�t think anyone can really say why. The only arguments I�ve ever heard were �because marriage has traditionally been held as a union between a man and a woman� or worse �because gay is evil and god hates gays.� That�s it? That�s all you have? It�s a pretty weak argument�a lot like creationism�but that�s my point. So what are all the cute and lovable gays and lesbians to do? Picket? March on Washington? Spend days, weeks, months, YEARS trying to overturn legislation in a system of government overrun with old, fat, out-of-date, �traditional�, �morally uptight (ahem, I mean UPRIGHT)�, good-god-fearing men? Good luck. By fighting it, you only make them hate you more; and in some sad ways, you just add fuel to their �gays are evil� fire. I know, I know�it�s a sad day indeed when the voice of the people cannot be heard in favor of a ruling majority; but never you fear my dear gay and lesbian friends, I have a solution!! There is a definite way to exploit marriage and make it work for you and your gay/lesbian partner. Here�s how� 1 � first have a gay/lesbian partner that you want to live with for the rest of your life. You see, getting married as an American is EASY! As long as you�re a citizen of the good ol� U-S-of-A(ss) and you�re a man and woman you can run off to the justice of the peace, or Las Vegas, or the weddin� chapel and 1-2-3 you�re married!! No questions asked! As long as you�re a man and a woman! I garauntee that NO ONE is going to come to your house after you�re married to check up on you and your spouse. No one!! You can still file joint income taxes because you�re �married�. You get all the breaks the heteroes do, but you can still totally be gay; and you TOTALLY circumvent the bullshit of the gay marriage ban!! So fuck Kentucky! Fuck all the other states that say no to gay marriage!! You can totally get around it!! All you need is another opposite-sex gay couple who wants to get married and VOILA!! Domestic bliss for you and your partner�at least until you get sick of each other. Hey! I�m being realistic. One in three marriages end in divorce! ;-) Seriously though, this can totally work. I really think it can. Not only that, but when you want to have a family of your own you have donors/carriers right on hand! Just go to your paired couple and plan it out. That or you can adopt!! In the eyes of the law you�re �husband and wife�. Just show up to the interviews and all that jazz as �husband and wife�. It�s perfect! Flawless in fact! AND IT REALLY STICKS THE IDEA OF MARRIAGE RIGHT UP ALL THOSE UPTIGHT NEO-REPUBLICAN-UBER-CHRISTIAN FUCKERS� ASSES!! Which I�d really like to see happen more often. For serious! So all you lovely gay and lesbian couples out there who want to settle down and get married, find another opposite-sex gay couple and do it!! It will totally rock!! Then one day when people aren�t such fucking assholes, and all the stupid ban shit is lifted, you can go down and do it good and proper. Until then, you gotta� do what you can and exploit the system the best you can; and I�m ALL about exploiting the system my friends!! I know, I know�I can hear you saying �but StarDust, we want EQUAL RIGHTS with heterosexual couples. We want our voice, our opinions, our lifestyle, and our love for each other to be officially recognized by the community at large!� To which I reply, �that�s all fine and dandy my loves, and quite noble as well; but the sad fact of the matter is that by the time these Christian dipshits get over this crap you and your partner will more than likely be dead from old age.� I mean, look how long they�ve clung to the creationist �theory�! it�s ridiculous. We�re dealing with people who JUST CAN�T LET GO OF THE PAST. Change scares them. The idea that maybe, just maybe, their beliefs are a bit outdated is so utterly mind-blowing, that they�ve all moved off and bought real estate on �da� nile.� Not even scientific logic can bring them back. In fact, I often wonder if God Himself came down whether or not they�d try to kill Him because He doesn�t look like the pictures in the Bible or whatever. So good luck on your battle against the ever-growing-plague-of-complete-idiocy-and-madness. Anyway, I get off my main point� I say just go for plan B and be happy. There just isn�t any legislation against a married man and woman living separately. And if said man and woman lived separately with a man or woman, there�s no legislation against that either. Who�s to know? Who�s to care? Let me know what you think. I�m all ears! Feel the rainbow power facist-christian-swine!! ~B-) 6:10 p.m. - 2005-04-06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
