Recently I had the experience of “hearing” someone diatribe against another who believes as I do.
Some of the points made by my fellow Marriage proponent were that marriage is an act of faith, it ought to be reserved for people of the faith and so on…
I found myself in total agreement with the lady in question. Then someone responded. I have clipped some of the response and I present it here with MY rebuttal.
“Why should my rights be determined by your beliefs? You talk, you act as if gay people wish to replace opposite sex marriage with same sex marriage. As if they were in battle. We merely wish to be included. We are asking for peaceful coexistence.”
Really? All you want is peaceful coexistence? You really think there is no “war” here? Then why is it that in many places including California AND Florida, when the issue was being voted on, Homosexual activists were in the streets LITERALLY attacking people who were voting against the idea of same sex marriage? Trying to bully them into submission with your “innocent” desire for equality.
People were put in the hospital, they were spat upon, their property was damaged and they were terrorized at home at work and everywhere else. And they weren’t just young strong men who might have been considered threatening, or members of some Aryan group or what have you… they were little old ladies, the disabled and mothers.
No, you ask that I voluntarily give up my rights so that you can continue to be selfish. Gay people want to share the institution of marriage, you want it all to yourself.
Now wait a minute. By insisting I give up MY right to celebrate MY faith and MY ideals MY way while being forced to accept YOUR ideals, YOUR beliefs and YOUR way’s, AGAINST MY WILL! Aren’t you being just as selfish? Sounds like shades of “the pot calling the kettle” there and all that…
After all if you want me to respect YOUR rights shouldn’t you respect mine?
Seems a little hypocritical to me that you expect me to compromise MY standards so you can enjoy yours.
