Be Maybe One Day
Jason Standart
Life, Liberty, and Justice for all!
Today that has changed and I am no longer included in this.
The rights of my friends, my loved ones, and myself have been taken away.
All because some people do not like the fact we are GAY.
Do we not bleed, Do we not feel, Do we not cry just like you
Who is someone else to decide whether or not our love is true.
All people are created equal! No truer words have ever been spoken
But now based on hate, our rights have been broken
We are not all the same, were not all treated fair
And worst of all, you don’t seem to care
This is not our choice, or a lifestyle, this is the way our All Mighty designed us to be
To question and hate his creation makes you sacrilegious, not we!
No hate comes from our side, no violence towards you
We just want the same right that you’re granted to
Wrong and Unnatural are words I hear a lot
You hate based on differences!
Is this not worse than gay marriage being taught?!
To pass down prejudice and hate, rather than love and acceptance is what you are teaching our
Young ones,
All we want is to get married, and somehow we are viewed as the wrong ones.
I am who I am, and I won’t change for anyone, I couldn’t even if I tried
I have too much dignity, I have too much Pride
Pride for myself and for all people just like me
Open your eyes, I just wish you could see
The differences that divide us are tiny compared to the beliefs that we share.
So I ask you; please don’t judge, please don’t hate, Please take me up on this dare!
Our love is true and our will is strong
One day we will get back what you say is wrong
Gay does not destroy the sanctity of marriage!
It brings it back to its truest form
Not based on money, or a night of drinking in Vegas
But based on the love, and a lifetime of commitment that two people share
We stand strong, united, the power of one
And with these last words of “EQUALITY FOR ALL” I am done.

Actually in California same-sex partners have the same rights as hetero married couples. Good commentary.

This video first surfaced on my Facebook feed yesterday morning and was shared/liked over 1.2 million times on Facebook and at the time of this review, viewed over 11 million times on YouTube. With all that attention on one video, one question remains, if so many people support this video, why can't we have a federal law that supports same-sex marriage? If those people that clicked through to the video could click in a voting booth, we'd have our … more

Rather than express an opinion, I want to discuss some of the problems inherent in this discussion, especially where the courts are involved. In the interest of full disclosure I think that same-sex marriage should be legalized in the United States either through the courts or through the legislative process, but I am deeply concerned that many of the simplistic arguments on both sides of the issue would result in severe and unintended consequences. I also do oppose … more

Same-Sex Marriage. That big controversial issue that some people look up and say, "Why is this an issue?" and others who respond by saying, "It's an issue because God condemns it." Well, okay, God condemns it (just like he condemns divorce--but no one is jumping up to make that illegal now, are they?), and that's okay. People are entitled to their beliefs. In an interview with Oprah, Jon Stewart remarked, "Well, I was against it at first but then … more

Yes, gay marriage is a very hotly debated subject in America these days, especially with it becoming legal in California earlier this year. I am in full support of the legalization of gay marriage, for the fundamental reason that I believe that people should be allowed to act in a manner which they desire so long as they do not impede on the rights of anyone else. The United States national government exists for the purpose of protecting our rights, as our founding fathers wrote down in the Declaration … more

About this website
Same-sex marriage and gay marriage are terms for a legally or socially recognized marriage between two people of the same sex.
The first country to allow same-sex couples to enter into legally recognized marriage was the Netherlands, effective in 2001. Since then, six other countries and seven U.S. states have followed suit, though voters in California revoked it through passage of Proposition 8. Proponents of same-sex marriage regard it as a human right to be able to enter into marriage regardless of sexual orientation. Those who oppose same-sex marriage often base their opposition on the perceived societal impact of same-sex marriage, concerns about indirect consequences of same-sex marriage, parenting concerns, tradition, or religious grounds. In 16 countries, and specific jurisdictions within 5 others, same-sex couples can join in a civil union but cannot marry. Additionally, Israel, the U.S. state of New York and Washington, D.C. recognize legal same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions but do not perform their own. Political and legal debate continues in over two dozen other countries and multiple U.S. states.
