The Answer to Gay Marriage...

There is an answer to gay marriage. It's deceptively simple and will attract followers rather than haters. The answer? Simple, change the word "GAY" to "HAPPY". Easy.

After all, aren't humans supposed to be at their best if they are truly happy? And if some people of the same sex want to get married then surely that would make them happy, no? Of course it would. Perhaps the best way to sell this concept to any detractors out there is to use the economy as a great example of why people are best when they are happy. Take a read of this inspirational quote and let me know how you could possibly disagree...
We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Okay, so it's not exactly the quote I was after, but you get the gist. Happiness is a choice. People argue about gay being a choice. Possible for some it might be, mostly for many it probably isn't.
So let gay people be happy, and if they want to marry, whats the problem? Well... it is plain and clear to see, two thousand years of propaganda by the church, that's the problem. Like the last line from the above quote, the church is afraid. It is afraid because it see's itself as the preeminent holder of knowledge of the human condition. Sadly it could be no more wrong than to stick with this outdated and narrow minded approach. The church is scared because people are making their own decisions! People are making their choices and the church doesn't like that it is no longer needed. Fair enough I say. Let the narrow minded among us seek guidance from myth and fantasy, let them use faith as their spear and shield. They are still wrong. Like I said, two thousand years of propaganda and more importantly, being in control.




 See... The woman waits while the man goes and works. The man is in charge. God is a man therefore the man must remain in charge, this is why the church is scared. The man is not in charge you see. Two men or two women break this ridiculous mold into tiny pieces! By giving people CHOICE the church are no longer in charge! Being gay, choice or not, is something people become happy with. And why not? Happiness is the most important thing, right? Well, what does the church say about happiness????
 sparked hope in those who have wanted the Church to change its stance with regard to gay people...
“In the case of irregular situations, such as couples who move in together, divorcees who remarry and same-sex couples, we as pastors have to stand firm and uphold the teachings of the Church Scriptures; not because we are fideists but because we believe that these teachings represent the road to happiness. And we must try and help everyone to lead a life that is in accordance with these teachings.” Schönborn: “Catholic morality is the path towards happiness”
Hmmm... See. Only their way is the way to happiness! Darn... If the church has already used the word happiness in their ranting then they probably own that too. Oh well, gay it is then! Oh and to all and any churchy people out there who disagree, well, that's your choice isn't it? I'm not making you so please, don't make other people. It's just not fair!
