Uh Oh!!!!!!! Kel is picking on the Gay People!!! Uh Oh!!!!!
LoL!! No, not at all…
Before we start, let me give you a brief History/ Political Science review, Ready? Let’s Go…
People have choices and preferences. When they want to make their preference an actual law, they call this proposed law a BILL. They, then, send this Bill to legislature to be considered. If it is passed by the legislature and, in most cases, approved by the executive (President or Governor) it then becomes enacted into law, and is now called an Act or a Statute. Got that? Cool…
As of right now… The New York state Assembly (Legislature as mentioned above) approved same-sex marriage and the Bill is likely to face a vote in the Senate (Executive) TOMORROW (June 17th 2011), where it only needs support from ONE MORE senator to pass. If the Bill passes, same-sex couples could start marrying in New York as early as late July 2011. A recent Siena poll found that 58% of New Yorkers support same-sex marriage. Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage RIGHT NOW, and several other states allow “Civil Unions.” FYI- The first legal same-sex marriages in the United States took place in Massachusetts in 2004.
Now… A hem…
I’m not even going to touch the “Gay” part of it. Notice, I haven’t used the term “Gay Marriage” and I won’t. I am a Christian. I am a believer in Christ. I own and read several Bibles. I am a Jesusian lol! And I also believe that because of that, some of you just might (or might not) be surprised by my views on the Gay aspect of Same Sex marriages. Maybe we’ll touch on that another time.
My issue with… Actually, I can’t even say it’s an “issue” because it’s not really that serious. I’ll say, my “hypothetical scenario & question” as it pertains to Same Sex marriage is; What’s to stop Johnny from Mexico who is STRAIGHT and Timmy from New York who is also STRAIGHT from marrying each other just so that Johnny can get his papers, then move to the states, to maybe eventually get a divorce and now Johnny is a citizen? Meanwhile, the whole time they’re both continuing in their heterosexual lifestyle with the women they might have just because their marriage wasn’t real but rather an “ARRANGEMENT?” Does that type of stuff dilute and discredit and devalue what marriage is supposed to be about? Or not? Does allowing Same Sex marriage further open the door to this type of activity? Or not?
While you think that over, and since we’re on the topic of relationships and love and all that jazz… I just want to remind you, we’re 2 days away!
