SAME SEX

It's a big smokescreen

to divert attention from issues that truly matter to people, such as the economy, the deficit and unemployment.

All of a sudden, everybody is coming out of the closet. Being hamjens is the latest trend.

"Go green, go gay".

Seriously, who really cares what two people do in the privacy of their own home? I don't.

But to call it marriage? A meaningful relationship? Yes. A civil partnership? Certainly. But a marriage?

People have the right to be with anyone they wish. They should have the right to designate anyone they choose to be a decision maker in legal matters, or otherwise act on their behalf.

But let's call it what it is. It's not marriage.

You can teach a pig to swim, but that doesn't make it a fish.

Isn't all married sex, same sex?

In the post religion utopia we will hopefully get to one day, these things can be resolved relatively easily.

Marriage or the contract between a ma and a woman, and now between two people of the same sex, is still largely a religious holdout and edict, that has over time, quietly slipped into society and become a tradition.

Kind of like what Islam is trying to do with the cloth veil, with the hejab (piety, purity, chastity) institution. As you see, some now call wearing the roosari or chador a "tradition", and you hear more of, "...my grandmother used to wear it before the Shah...". In the West you increasingly hear of women who voluntarily wear it claiming, "..this is how I choose to show my reverence for God...". Although it was a man who interpreted the Ghoran's passages on Hejab, and decided to impose the veil on all women. A woman is not allowed to interpret the Ghoran.

Similarly, the concept of Marriage, Husband and Wife, are religious institutions that became societal traditions.

Proof this is a religious issue at heart now, is the moniker to identify a separation from husband/wife/marriage, is "Domestic Partner", which sounds horrible compared to the positive imagery marriage evokes.

No surprise that when Gay people attempt to marry, the deep religious roots start to show, and folks object.

After the secular revolution, and the elimination of religion, this will hopefully resolve itself as society sheds the notions that priests felt work.

Maybe then, the definition of what sex is, can be separated from what commitment is.
