The Last Thing I Write About Gay Marriage
Written by John Rozewicki   
Sunday, 28 May 2006
I wrote around March about the subject of gay marriage as a states' rights issue. This will be my second and final article on the subject of gay marriage. I am not gay but this is still an issue I feel strongly about. It's an issue that I think everyone should feel strongly about. I don't feel that it is right for any government to explicitly deny rights to a certain group of people. It is a very sad day when governments, instead of empowering citizens, are actively working to shut citizens out.

Sexism #1

The stance the governments(both state & federal) are taking on this issue is sexist in every definition of the word. We are currently discriminating on the basis of both gender and sex. We are raised to believe in this country that all persons are created equal. It is the official stance of our federal government that women are equal to men. If this is the case, then by extension, shouldn't it not matter what the gender of two people applying for a marriage license is? A woman is equal to a man is equal to a woman. I'll diagram with math
X = 4 < --Declare X X = Y <--Declare X equal to Y Y = 4 <--Y must equal X X + Y = 8 <--Correct X + X = 8 <--Correct Y + Y = 8 <--Correct
A Man = Y A Woman = X Constitution, "X = Y" X + Y = Marriage. X + X = ? Y + Y = ?
What should be in place of those question marks if women are supposed to be equal to men? I'll give you a hint; marriage. I'm not sure there's any way to disagree with this logic. The point is that if there is supposed to be gender equality in this country then by extension marriage licenses should be granted for any pairing of genders.

Sexism #2

Everyone knows a few bullshit laws. There are laws in states across the country banning oral sex, sodomy, etc. They are unenforceable. It is everyone's opinion that the government has no business to decide what is right and proper for two consenting adults to do for their sexual pleasure. Denying homosexual citizens the right to gay marriage is discriminating on the basis of sexual behavior. If it's not okay for the government to decide that sodomy is illegal, then why is it okay for the government to endorse sex where it involves a vagina and a penis through state-sponsored pairing(marriage) and tax breaks? Endorsing one thing over another is equal to discriminating against the other thing.

Thought Experiment

In many states a person can get a fully encompassing sexual reassignment right down to the birth certificate. If an individual jumps through all the hoops and has all the surgery to become the opposite gender, should they be able to get married in the traditional way that exists now? If not, why not?

Changes & Democracy

Unfortunately, we live in a democracy-flavored country. We do not have true democracy but democracy is the political philosophy of many people in this country. I say unfortunately because democracy is one of the most frequently abused concepts in this country. It is not right for 51% of a country to handicap the other 49%. It is not right for the majority to make any minority second class citizens; whether it be race, gender, skin color, place of birth, etc. For things to change for the better for the minorities they have to convince the majority that they deserve rights. This requires the majority to pull their head out of their god damn asses and empathize with the minorities. This is why I am currently ashamed to live in this country. The polls show that at this moment that the majority of this country are behaving like self-centered arrogant selfish pricks.

The Right Thing To Do

Part of living in a free country is supporting causes for things you don't necessarily have need to do, but know it's the right thing to do. During the civil rights movements of the past many people who were not being discriminated against agreed that it was wrong for certain groups of citizens to be denied rights. I guarantee you there were men fighting for women's rights. There were most certainly white men fighting for the rights of minorities. I am a straight person fighting for the rights of homosexuals because it is the right thing to do.
