Strange in that in my dreams, I lived in a land of non-equality. My dream world is usually much better than the real world. I want to make a movie based on my dream. It's something I would totally do, especially since I'm so anti-marriage anyway and only see it as a business deal.
So, my dream was actually an evil plot. My lesbian lover and I wanted the same rights and protections of marriage under the law, and we couldn't have it living in California and everything. So we convinced a gay couple to marry us...we'd each live with our own lover, but we'd get the same federal protections to being married under the law. Even had it where if we had kids, we'd list the opposite man that we married as the father so we'd get parental rights as a *step-parent*. I really don't know why I dream things like this. I enjoyed my dream, though. I mean, not the non-equality part, but the part where I came up with an evil plot to be treated like a human being. That, and the part where I didn't marry for love. I will marry for necessity...I need medical, I need a tax cut, we can't get this house loan unless we're married, I need a name to put on this birth certificate... But I would never marry for love. It's long and complicated, but I don't think marriage is about love anyway. It's about fucking your brains out and not feeling guilty. It's because that's what society demands. You know what, fuck society. Society didn't want races to mix either, and where would that leave me? Non-existent, and I think I'm pretty awesome, so society loses.
Oh, yes, I do know what the religions say, oh, trust me. I think God and I will talk this out on Judgment Day, and I will take whatever He deals me like a man. But I also believe in separation of church and state. I also think it's stupid that *I* can marry anything with a penis that I don't love when people who are in love can't marry just because they're the same gender. I HATE IGNORANT PEOPLE. I hate people who believe lies and act on fears. I shouldn't say hate, because I don't hate anybody. I just don't pray for them. They don't deserve it. I fear dogs, I don't kick them or anything, and in fact am still friendly to them. I fear escalators, and while I do try to avoid them, I have ridden them. I don't think that NOBODY should have a dog as a pet or that escalators should be OUTLAWED because it's something *I* fear...especially since it doesn't fucking MATTER IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED. That has no effect on me. It doesn't effect me if Karen and Tom are married and it's a sham, it doesn't effect me if Adam and Steve are married and they're in love. WHAT TWO PEOPLE DO HAS NO OUTCOME ON ME, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. It doesn't effect anybody, really, except...I don't know, those two people.
And yeah, God made Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve. That is the fucking most ridiculous argument on two counts. The first one being not everyone believes in God and you're forcing YOUR religious beliefs on the whole country. The second one being WELL OF FUCKING COURSE HE MADE A MAN AND WOMAN FIRST, HE HAD A PLANET TO POPULATE. The planet is so not as evened out anymore. There isn't a man for every woman, a woman for every man. AND NOT EVERYBODY HAS SEX TO PROCREATE. So it's the most useless argument ever.
Oh, and being gay is so not a choice. If you think it is, you are so horribly, horribly wrong. I have not met a single gay person who didn't try to force themselves to be straight and got so tired of lying to themselves. I know some gay people still lying to themselves because that's what society wants. Once again, fuck society.
If you think I'm wrong, great. That doesn't effect me. If you think I'm right...once again, doesn't effect me. The only thing effecting me is that there are stupid laws based on stupid reasons that treat some people like they're people and some people like they're only almost human.
I almost didn't allow comments on this one, but then I decided... I'll screen them. I just want to see what people say, if anything, not get into a debate. If I feel like getting into a debate...I'll write my argument with no f-bombs and 100% fact based with no emotional bias.
