In my immediate family (siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, first cousins) there have been 24 marriages. Of these, 11 have ended in divorce (about 46 percent). My evil grandmother divorced back in 1939, back when divorce was a very naughty thing to do. Her son, my uncle, was married five times, divorced four.
Every time I hear some Born Again or politician flapping their mouth about the "sanctity of marriage" I grit my teeth and think very unpleasant (for them) thoughts.
Straight people have already destroyed whatever sanctity marriage once had.
Many people get married for the wrong reasons (pregnancy, escape from parents, can't fuck unless you marry me, get to have a big party). And yet their marriages (and divorces) are sooooo much better than faggot marriages.
Arizona voters voted down a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in 2006. The Arizona Senate is poised to put this on the ballot again, the Republicans hoping that it will increase Republican and conservative Christian turn out for the general election.
To say that I am sick and tired of Republicans and conservative religious people is an understatement.
My opinion about religion could not get any lower. Exactly why people need to believe in make-believe and then try to force other people to believe in make-believe confounds me.
I probably should shut up about this because I know I am offending some folks. But I read one too many comments today by religious people who want to reserve the right of getting a divorce to straight folks, beacuse that is what the sanctity of marriage is all about.
