[AOT767]

A "friend" posted something on facebook about how she didn't think it was right, marriage is a vow between a couple and God, etc etc. I asked her how she felt about atheists being allowed to marry, then, or people of other religions who don't worship her God, and never got a response (presumably because she has none, because she's been on facebook since then and hasn't acknowledged my comment, nor anyone else's that said similar things to mine).

Personally, I truly don't see a problem with it. If two people love each other and want to get married, what's the big deal? Nobody's forcing anyone else to marry someone of the same sex. I've found, at least within my circle, people who generally disagree with it disagree for religious reasons and I actually had one person say that any 'good practicing Christian' wouldn't endorse such an abomination. I also find that those same people continue to break other "Christian-ly" ways, such as having sex before marriage, consuming alcohol to the point of intoxication, etc. If it's against your religion, that's fine, but not everybody has the same beliefs as you, so it's not fair to restrict others freedoms because you 'think its icky'.

Anyway, I'm very excited about this and hope that it becomes legal very, very soon in all states. It shouldn't be about legislating "morality," it should be (and, in my opinion, is) about equality for all humans, regardless of who they want to marry.
